Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob, then she will have $4$ times as much

money as Bob. If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob. If neither gives the other any money, what is the ratio of the amount of money Alice has to the amount Bob has?

Answer: 31 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the following:

Alice's amount = P

Bob's amount = Q

Amount received = n

If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.

P + n = 4(Q - n)

P + n = 4Q - 4n

P = 4Q - 4n - n

P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)

If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob

P - n = 3(Q + n)

P - n = 3Q + 3n

P = 3Q + 3n + n

P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)

Equating both equations - (1) and (2)

4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n

4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n

Q = 9n

Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)

From equation 2:

P = 3Q + 4n

Substituting Q = 9n

P = 3(9n) + 4n

P = 27n + 4n

P = 31n

Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q

Ratio = P:Q

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(x + 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = r2.

To get we use point (8, 7): (8 + 7)2 + (7 + 1)2 = r2, r2 = 225 + 64 = 289 = 172.

So, equation of circle: (x + 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = 289

What is the volume of the triangular prism? Round to the nearest tenth.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

1,185.6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of the triangular prism = base area x height

the base in the shape of a triangle

area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

1/2 x 12 x 10.4 = 62.4 in²

volume = 62.4 x 19 = 1185.6 in

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
