Answer:

$300  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D = Dave's savings and S = Sam's savings.

(1)                     D/S = 5/4

(2) (D – 40)/(S-40) = 13/10                  Multiply (1) by 4S

(3)                     4D = 5S                      Multiply (2) by 10(S-40)

            10(D - 40) = 13(S - 40)            Remove parentheses

(4)       10D – 400 = 13S - 520            Solve (3) for S

                         S = (4/5)D                  Substitute into (4)

         10D – 400 = 13(4/5)D - 520     Multiply each side by 5

     50D – 2000 = 52D – 2600         Subtract 50D from each side

               -2000 = 2D – 2600            Add 2600 to each side

                  600 = 2D                          Divide each side by 2

                      D = $300

Dave's savings at first were $300.

Which represents the solution to the absolute value equation? 3|2x+4|-1=11
larisa86 [58]
The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:

3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4

so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.

2x+4 = 4

AND

2x+4 = -4

solve both of those two step equations and you'll get

x = 0

AND

x = -4

so 0 and -4 are your solutions.

Which model represents 2 x 0.9?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

<h2>Model B</h2>

there are 124 students in the band. there are 12 more boys than girls in the band. how many boys and how many girls are in the b
kvv77 [185]
B = g + 12
g + b = 124
Replace the b in the second equation with
g+ 12

g+ g+12=124
2g + 12 = 124
Subtract 12 from both sides
2g = 112
Divide by 2
g = 56

b= 56 + 12
b= 68

Plz Help Brainliest To First Answer<br><br> In rhombus ABCD , m∠BCE=33∘ .<br><br> What is m∠ABE ?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

57 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhombus ABCD has diagonals AC and BD which intersect at point E.

The diagonals of a rhombus divide the rhombus into 4 congruent triangles.

If you find the measures of the angles of one of the triangles, then you know the measures of the angles of all 4 triangles.

Also, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.

Look at triangle BCE.

m<BCE = 33

m<BEC = 90

m<BCE + m<BEC + m<CBE = 180

33 + 90 + m<CBE = 180

m<CBE = 57

<ABE in triangle ABE corresponds to <CBE in triangle BCE.

m<ABE = m<CBE = 57

Answer: 57 deg
