Answer:

Maggie spent =30

Karen spent = 10

Jasmine spent =20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this we use algebra to solve.we give the sisters unknowns, to help us solve the equation.

we dont know how much jasmine used so we give her the unknown x.you can use any letter but ill us x.

karen used half as much as karen so we give her 1/2x because it was half of jasmine.maggie used 3 times that of karen so w give her 3(1/2x).

maggie =3(1/2x)

Karen =1/2x

jasmine =x

3(1/2x) + 1/2x + x = 60

3/2x + 1/2x + x = 60

2x + x = 60

3x=60

x=20

where we have x =we replace with 20

e.g karen 1/2x => 1/2 x 20 =10

if you need any clarifications please do tell me in the comment section.i would like to help more if you need help.thx

     Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest anwer thx

x=122°

Step-by-step explanation:

y=58°[°•°being corresponding angles]

Now,

x+y=180[°•°co-interior angles]

or, x=180-58

Lisa wrote the expression (3x + 6x) - 2(x + 1) + 5. She simplified the expression using the following steps:
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step 1. Should be 3(x +2x) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 3x(1 +2) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 9x -2(x+1) +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa apparently failed to realize that both terms inside the first set of parentheses have 3x as a factor. They are like terms, so could be combined directly. If Lisa really wants to factor out 3 or 3x, she could do so and then combine the remaining factors at another step.

Consider this equation: –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 Generate a plan to solve for the variable. Describe the steps that will be used.
horrorfan [7]
We are given the function <span>–2x – 4 + 5x = 8  and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.</span>
