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

Do 8feet + 10feet + 12feet make a right triangle
bija089 [108]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 no

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangle side lengths are an arithmetic sequence (have a common difference), they must have the ratios 3:4:5 to make a right triangle. Here, the ratios of the side lengths are 4:5:6, so will not be a right triangle.

There is 1500 ft of fencing available to make 6 identical pens. Find the maximum area for EACH pen (meaning maximum of one pen).
hjlf

Answer:

The maximum area is therefore is 93750 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter are;

The a]length of fencing available = 1500 ft.

The perimeter of the figure = 9·x + 4·y

Therefore, 9·x + 4·y = 1500 ft.

The area of the figure = 6 × (x × y) = 3·x × 2·y

From the equation for the perimeter, we have;

9·x + 4·y = 1500

y = 1500/4 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4·x

y = 375 - 9/4·x

Substituting the value of y in the equation for the area gives;

Area = 3·x × 2·y = 3·x × 2·(375 - 9/4·x) = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

Area = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

The maximum area is found by taking the derivative and equating to zero as follows;

d(2250·x - 27/2·x²)/dx = 0

2250 - 27·x = 0

x = 2250/27 = 250/3

x = 250/3

y = 375 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4×250/3 = 187.5

The maximum area is therefore, 3·x × 2·y = 3 × 250/3 × 2 × 187.5 = 93750 ft²

The maximum area is therefore = 93750 ft.²
