Answer:

Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive  $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Thirty dollars is to be divided among three girls and two boys so that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys.

To Find:  How much does each receive?

Solution :

Let each boy gets $x

Since we are given that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys

So, each girl receive amount = 2x

Since there are 3 girls .

So, 3 girls received the amount = 3*(2x)=6x

Now each boy gets x amount

So, 2 boys get amount = 2*x =2x

Since thirty dollars are divided among them .

So, 6x+2x=30

8x=30

x=\frac{30}{8}

x=3.75

Thus each boy gets $3.75

Each girl receive amount = 2x = 2*3.75= $7.5

Hence Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive  $7.5

3. Solve 2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2<br>​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

y =  4  or y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2

​2log_4(y) - log_4(5y-12) = log_4(2)           apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2) + log_4(1/(5y-12)) = log_4(/2)    apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2/(5y-12)) = log_4(2)                     remove logarithm

y^2/(5y-12) = 2                                            cross multiply

y^2 = 10y-24                                                  rearrange and factor

y^2 - 10y + 24 = 0

(y-4)(y-6) = 0

y= 4 or y=6
