Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles

Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.

This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.

C = 1/3x

L = 1/4x

We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy

C = L + 7

Since C = 1/3x  and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:

1/3x = 1/4x + 7

Subtract 1/4x from both sides

1/3x - 1/4x = 7

1/12x = 7

Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.

x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)

Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.

A = x - C - L

A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)

A = 35

The simplified form of the equation is \rm -69.19x+38.2.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Equation; \rm -9.2(8x - 4) + 0.7(2 + 6.3x)

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

The simplified form of the equation;

<h3>According to the question</h3>

To determine the simplified form of the equation following all the steps given below.

Equation; \rm -9.2(8x - 4) + 0.7(2 + 6.3x)

<h3>To simplify the equation multiple the terms and solve.</h3>

Then,

The simplified form of the equation is,

\rm =-9.2(8x - 4) + 0.7(2 + 6.3x)\\&#10;\\&#10;= (-9.2) (8x)- (-9.2)(4) + (0.7)(2) + (0.7) (6.3x)\\&#10;\\&#10;=-73.6x -(-36.8) +(1.4)+(4.41x)\\&#10;\\&#10;= -73.6x+36.8+1.4+4.41x\\&#10;\\&#10;=-69.19x+38.2

Hence, The simplified form of the equation is \rm -69.19x+38.2.

Angles in a triangle add to 180° and we can see a right angle so

x = 180 - ( 90 + 36 )

x = 180 - 126

x = 54
