Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

so

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

The isosceles triangle below has one angle measure as shown what is the measure of each of the other angles?
SSSSS [86.1K]
The answer would be 65°.
This is because 180° -50° equals 130°. And 130° divided by two equals 65°. The two remaining angles must be equal because it is an isosceles triangle.

What is the order of operations to solve this problem?<br> 10 x 5 + 2 / 2 = 60
Slav-nsk [51]

Simply remember PEMDAS:

P = Parentheses

E = Exponents

M = Multiplication

D = Division

A = Addition

S = Subtraction

You perform these actions from left to right.

However in this case it is not possible for it to equal 60.

A taxi driver had 43 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $12, and the price for a
leva [86]

Answer:

(25,18) is the required solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport.

Total number of fares  to and from the airport = 43

Thus, we can write the equation:

x+y = 43

Price for a ride to the airport = $12

Price for a ride from the airport = $10

Total amount collected by the driver = $480

Thus, we can write the equation:

12x+10y=480

Solving the two equations, we get,

12x+12y-(12x+10y)=516-480\\\Rightarrow 2y =36\\\Rightarrow y = 18\\\Rightarrow x = 43-18=25

Thus, the driver made 25 trips to the airport and 18 trips from the airport.

The solution can be represented as (25,18)
