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

31 : 9

If 6 times a certain number is added to 8, the result is 32.. . Which of the following equations could be used to solve the prob
liberstina [14]
Let x be the certain number and that six time this number may be expressed as 6x. Based on the conditions presented above, the sum of 6x and 8 should be equal to 32. This may be mathematically expressed as,
 
                                     6x + 8 = 32

Therefore, the answer is fourth choice.

10n^{2} - 12 = -8<br> Please help
torisob [31]

The value for n is \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}

<h3>solving for n</h3>

<u>given data</u>

10n^{2} - 12 = -8

making n the subject of the formula

10n^{2}  = -8 + 12

10n^{2}  = 4

divide through by 10

n^{2}  = 4 / 10

finding the square root of both sides

n = square root ( 4 / 10 )

n = \sqrt{\frac{4}{10}

n = 0.632 or \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}

How can properties of operations help to generate equivalent expressions that can be used in solving problems ?
svet-max [94.6K]
I’m not the best at math, but ⬇️

For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3(2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y
