Answer:

Paul have $250 and Rachel have $500 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel: 2x

Paul: x

If I gave Rachel $250, then:

Rachel: 2x + 250

Paul: 3x

We have he equation:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = -250

-x = -250

x = 250

Let's make "x" the amount of Paul.

2x = Rachel.

This means that 2x + 250 = 3x.

Solve:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = 250

-x = 250

x = 250

So that means Paul had 250 dollars.

And Rachel had 500 dollars.

cylinder:

V = πr²h

V = 3.14(2)² * 3

V = 3.14(4) * 3

V = 3.14(12)

V = 37.7m³

rectangular prism:

V = lwh

V = (2.4)(9)(5)

V = 108m³

the entirety of the sculpture:

V = volume of cylinder + volume of rectangular prism

V = 37.7 + 108

<u>V = 145.7m³</u>

jeka94

Answer:

74 pages/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the difference in the numbers of pages  divided by the difference in the numbers of hours.

At the end of 3 hours, 90 pages were read.

At he end of 5 hours, 238 pages were read.

Difference in hours: 5 hours - 3 hours = 2 hours.

Difference in pages: 238 pages - 90 pages = 148 pages

The average rate of change is the difference in pages divided by the difference in hours.

average rate of change = (148 pages)/(2 hours) = 74 pages/hour
