£980 is divided between Caroline, Sarah & Gavyn so that Caroline gets twice as much as Sarah, and Sarah gets three times as

Nitella [24]

Sarah has received £ 294

Solution:

Given that £980 is divided between Caroline, Sarah & Gavyn

Let "c" be the amount received by caroline

Let "s" be the amount received by sarah

Let "g" be the amount received by gavyn

Caroline gets twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = 2(amount received by sarah)

c = 2s ---- eqn 1

Sarah gets three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = 3(amount received by gavyn)

s = 3g ------- eqn 2

Given that total amount is 980

c + s + g = 980 --- eqn 3

Let us solve eqn 1, 2, 3 to get values of "c" "s" "g"

From eqn 2,

$g = \frac{s}{3}$ --- eqn 4

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 4 in eqn 3

$2s + s + \frac{s}{3} = 980\\\\\frac{6s + 3s + s}{3} = 980\\\\6s + 3s + s = 980 \times 3\\\\10s = 2940\\\\s = 294$

Thus sarah has received £ 294

The graph of a system of equations is

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The system has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the system to have a solution, both graphs must have an intercept to each others. We see in the picture that both graphs are parallel and do not have any interceptions which we don't know the solution to the system.

That means if graphs are parallel and have no interceptions, there are no solutions. The system of equations are for finding the interceptions of both graphs. But of course! Parallel lines do not intercept.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -1/2. Fnd the value of p

makkiz [27]

Given:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{2-(-2)}$

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{2+2}$

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{4}$

It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

$\dfrac{p-5}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

On cross multiplication, we get

$2(p-5)=-4(1)$

$2p-10=-4$

$2p=-4+10$

$2p=6$

Divide both sides by 2.

$p=3$

Therefore, the value of p is 3.

At a 3-mile cross-country race, an athlete runs 2 miles at 6 mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. What is the athlete's average speed?

Tom [10]

Answer: the average speed is 7.5 mph or at least im pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you make the 2 miles at 6 mph to 1 mile at 3 mph then you get 1 mile at 3mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. now that you have the unit rates of these you can add them. 1 + 1 = 2 miles and 3 + 12 = 15 mph now divide this by two and you get 7.5 mph per mile.

I hope this helped, if it did could you give me a good rating? lol

What interger is equivalent to 9 1/2

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no integer equivalent to 91/2, integers can't have a decimal.

However, I assume you would like me to answer 9.5, even though it isn't an integer.
