Answer:

Daily allowance of Lily's brother is approximately <u>$10</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represents Lily's daily allowance and let B represents her brother's daily allowance, we can therefore obtain the following from the question:

L - B = $8 ........................ (1)  => Indicating the difference in their pocket money

(2/3)L = B + $2 ..................... (2) => Indicating Lily's allowance is $2 more than what her brother gets

From equation (1), we find L as follows:

L = $8 + B ...................................... (3)

Substituting L from equation (3) into equation (2) and solve for B as follows:

(2/3)($8 + B) = B + $2

0.67($8 + B) = B + $2

$5.36 + 0.67B = B + $2

$5.36 - $2 = B - 0.67B

$3.36 = 0.33B

B = $3.36 / 0.33

B = 10.18, or $10 approximately.

Therefore, daily allowance of Lily's brother is approximately <u>$10</u>.

<u>Confirmation Note:</u>

Note that this is not part of the answer to the question. It is just meant to assist you in having a deeper understanding of the question and the answer.

The above answer can be confirmed as follows:

Substituting B = $10 into equation (3), we have:

L = $8 + $10 = $18

This implies that Lily's daily allowance is $18.

Substituting for L = $18 and B = $10 into equation (1), we have:

$18 - $10 = $8 => this confirms that the difference in their pocket money is $8.

Also, substituting for L = $18 and B = $10 into equation (2), we have:

(2/3)18 = 10 + $2 => 12 = 12 => since 12 minus 10 is equal to $2, this confirms that 2/3 of lily's allowance is $2 more than what her brother gets.

Erwin earns $ 2 , 100 per month. Her deductions amount to 26 % of her paycheck. How much does Erwin take home each month?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Credit ⇒ 45

Debit ⇒ $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit = $45

Debit = $30

When an account balance increases it means that it has been credited and when it decreases, it has been debited.

The beginning balance here is $0 and the closing balance is $15.

There were 2 transactions, one credit and one debit.

For the closing balance to be $15, the Credit amount must have been $15 more than the Debit amount.

Determine which method works, substitution or elimination? 4x^2+3y^2=42x^2-6y^2=-3
GarryVolchara [31]

Given:

\begin{gathered} 4x^2+3y^2=4 \\  \\ 2x^2-6y^2=-3 \end{gathered}

Find the method .

Sol:

\begin{gathered} 4x^2+3y^2=4..............(1) \\  \\ 2x^2-6y^2=-3.............(2) \end{gathered}

2eq(1) + eq(2) then,

8x^2+6y^2=8

Then apply the elimination method.

\begin{gathered} 8x^2+6y^2=8 \\ 2x^2-6y^2=-3 \\ --------- \\ 10x^2=5 \\  \\ x^2=\frac{5}{10} \\  \\ x=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \end{gathered}

Use the relationship between the angles in the figure to answer the question.
Brut [27]

Answer:

​x + 49 + 28 = 180​

Step-by-step explanation:

​The angles on a straight line with x° are 28° and 49° respectively, side by side with x°. This is because, vertical angles are equal. Therefore, the angle vertically opposite 28° and 49° are equal to 28° and 49° respectively.

Therefore, since angles on a straight line is 180°, thus:

​x + 49 + 28 = 180​
