Please, help thanks! I would like an explanation how to do it too, IF you dont mind.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Phoebe has £180, Andy has £60, and Polly has £30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, to start of let's establish some variables! We'll give Phoebe the variable "p", Andy the variable "a", and Polly the variable "o". By giving each person a variable we can create an equation and solve for it!

So, what do we know?

Well we know the following information...

p + a + o = 270

(Phoebe + Andy + Polly = £270)

p = 3a

(Phoebe = 3 times more than Andy)

a = 2o

(Andy = 2 times more than Polly)

To be able to solve this equation we have to solve for just one variable first.The only one we can use is "o" for Polly!

3(2o) + 2o + o = 270

6o + 2o + o = 270 (Distribute 3 to get like terms)

9o = 270 (Combine like terms [6+2+1])

o = 30 (Divide by 9 on both sides to get "o" by itself)

Now that we have how much Polly has, we have to solve for Andy and Phoebe. (To do this we will input our value, 30, where our variable is "o")

Andy

a = 2(30) (Input term)

a = 60 (Multiply by 2 to get final answer)

(Since we now know what Andy has we can input 60 into our "a" variable to solve for Phoebe)

Phoebe

p = 3(60) (Input term)

p = 180 (Multiply by 3 to get final answer)

Now! Just to check we are going to input our variables into our original equation to be sure we have the right variables.

p + a + o = 270

180 + 60 + 30 = 270!!

Hope this Helps! :)

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

Anarel [89]

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 = 30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 = 30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 = 30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

What is the value of x?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

By Using Pythagoras Theorem,

h^2=p^2+b^2

or, x^2=(24)^2+7^2

or, x^2=576+49

or, x^2=625

or, x=√625

•°• x=25
