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.

He equation 2x + 8 = 2(x + 5) has
Illusion [34]

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 2x + 8 = 2(x + 5) has no solution  as we see if we simplify it:

2x + 8 = 2x + 10

2x - 2x = 10 -8

0 = 2 which is absurd.

Use the given information to solve the triangle for A = 150°, b = 4.8, a = 9.4
ELEN [110]
Well you can start by drawing a triangle with the information 

the size of angle B can be found using the Law of Sine

\frac{sin(150)}{9.4)}  =  \frac{sin(B)}{4.8}

the size of angle C can be found using angle sum of a triangle. 

The length of side c can be found using the Law of Cosines

c^2 = 4.8^2 + 9.4^2 - 2 \times4.8\times9.4\times  cos(C)

hope it helps
