Answer: 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).
without that we cannot calculate the actual values.
all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :
a = amount Alberto made
b = amount Benjamin made
c = amount Carlota made
b = 3×a
c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a
that's it.
your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.
and that is missing.
if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have
a + b + c = x
a + 3a + 6a = x
10a = x
a = x/10
b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :
b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10
c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5
C C because the absolute value of -100 is 100 which is greater than zero

I cant see the photo it won't load
Step-by-step explanation:
Using algebra...
n and n+2 are the integers
n*(n+2)=288
n^2+2n=288
n^2+2n-288=0
288=2*2*2*2*2*3*3=(2*2*2*2)*(2*3*3)=16*18 and 18-16=2
factor
(n+18)(n-16)=0
n+18=0
n=-18
n+2=-16
this is one solution
n-16=0
n=16
n+2=18
this is another solution
as you can see, it's just a matter of factoring
288
using arithmetic...
√288=16.97≈17
16 and 18 are the integers (as well as -16 and -18)
