Answer:

£ 294

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Caroline get "c"

Sarah get "s"

ad

Gavyn get "g"

Now,

Caroline gets TWICE as Sarah, so we write:

c = 2s

Also,

Sarah gets THREE times as Gavyn, so we can write:

s = 3g

or

g = (1/3)s

Also, total is 980 between 3 person, so we can write:

c + s + g = 980

We replace this equation with first 2 (in bold) to get:

c + s + g = 980\\(2s) + s + (\frac{1}{3}s)=980\\3\frac{1}{3}s=980\\

Now, we solve for s:

3\frac{1}{3}s=980\\\frac{10}{3}s=980\\s=\frac{980}{\frac{10}{3}}\\s=980*\frac{3}{10}\\s=98*3\\s=294

Sarah gets £ 294

What is the equation of a line, in Slope Intercept Form, with a slope of 4 and passes through the point (1, 6)?
Butoxors [25]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m = 4 → y=4x+b

and point (1, 6). Substitute:

6=4(1)+b

6=4+b     <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

2=b\to b=2

<h3>Answer: y = 4x + 2</h3>

Determine which ordered pair is a solution of y = –5x + 10. a. (–15, 5)
maria [59]
Y = - 5 x + 10
A ) x = - 15, y = 5
5 = 75 + 10
5 ≠ 85
B ) x = 2, y = 0
0 = - 5 · 2 + 10
0 = 0  ( correct )
C ) x = - 1,  y = - 5,
- 5 = 5 + 10
- 5 ≠ 15
D ) x = 3, y = 25
25 = - 15 + 10
25 ≠ - 5
