Answer:

Eldest: $298500

Middle: $165250

Youngest: $149250

Explanation:

We can show the siblings like this:

e=2y                  (eldest)

m=16000+y       (middle)

To find the value of y, or the youngest sibling, we use an equation.

2y+16000+y+y=613000

Simplify:

4y+16000=613000

Subtract 16000 on both sides:

4y=597000

Divide both sides by 4:

y=149250

The youngest received $149250.

Knowing this, we can plug in the numbers into the original formulas:

e=2(149250)=298500                 ...or $298500

m=16000+149250=165250         ...or $165250

y=149250                                      ...or $149250

Add all those numbers up, and you reach $613000.

6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars.5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars. Set up a
vitfil [10]

Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x  into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

PLZZZ HELP XD WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST WHERE TO PUT THE POINT ON THE NUMBER LINE!!!!!
lana66690 [7]
Every number has its purpose in this case you start  at -3 then the negative sign tells you which way you are going but since we have another negative sign in between the number we go to the right instead of left with that said you put the point in number 4

A company logo is made up of a square and three identical triangles.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

the \: area \: of \: the \: logo \: is \:  {91cm}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the area of the logo you have to calculate the area of the triangle and the square that comform it and then add the four areas.

Area of the square.

To calculate the area of the square you have to calculate the square of one of its sides, following the formula:

a =  {a}^{2}

Where "a" is the length of one of its side.

The side length of the square is a=7cm, so its area will be:

asquare =  {7}^{2}  \\ asquare =  {49cm}^{2}

Area of the triangles.

The three triangles are equal, they have a base equal to the side of the square, i.e. with a length of 7cm, and their height is h=4cm.

To calculate the area of one triangle, you have to multiply its base by its height and divide by 2, following the formula:

a =  \frac{b.h}{2}  \\  a =  \frac{7.4}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{28}{2}  \\ a =  {14cm}^{2}

The area calculated the correspond to one triangle, since all triangles are congruent, you have to multiply the said area by 3 to determine the area of three figures:

atriangles = 3a \\ atriangles =  {42cm}^{2}

Now that the area of all shape are calculated, you have to add them to determine the area of the logo:

alogo = asquare + atriangle \\ alogo = 49 + 42 \\ alogo =  {91cm}^{2}

Parallelogram FGHI on the coordinate plane below represents the drawing of a horse trail through a local park.
Setler [38]
The answer is <span>A)(13, 8).

Distance I to F is:     yf - yi = -1 - (-4) = -1 + 4 = 3
Distance D to A is:   ya - yd = 8 - 2 = 6

</span>Distance D to A : Distance I to F = 6 : 3<span>
6 : 3 = 2, so scale factor is 2.

Among all choices, we see that the y point of another corner is 8, so we need to find x point.

Distance I to H is:                 xh - xi = -2 - (-7) = -2 + 7 = 5
Distance A to x corner is:    x - xa = x - 3

Since </span>Distance I to H is 5, and scale factor is 2, we have:
Distance A to x corner : Distance I to H = 2
Distance A to x corner = 2 * Distance I to H = 2 * 5 = 10

Distance A to x corner is:    xa - x = x - 3 = 10
x - 3 = 10
x = 10 + 3
x = 13
