Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(10x-8)=1/3(21-15x)

Opening the brackets

5x - 4 = 7 - 5x

5x + 5x = 7 + 4

10x = 11

x = 11/10

x = 1 1/10

Answer:

  • 7 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total money = $96
  • Contribution ratio = 3 : 5 : 8

<u>Contribution by each:</u>

  • 3x + 5x + 8x = 96
  • 16x = 96
  • x = 6
  • 3x → $18, 5x → $30, 8x → $48

<u>Equal contribution is:</u>

  • $96/3= $32

<u>Returned by first and second person:</u>

  • $32 - $18 = $14
  • $32 - $30 = $2

<u>Ratio of returned amount:</u>

  • 14 : 2 = 7 : 1

The longest side of an isosceles triangle is 11 cm less than twice as long as the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

15 cm, 15 cm, and 19 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Triangle is a type of triangle in which two of the three sides are equal in length. The perimeter is 49 cm. Therefore, in this question, since the sides are unknown, we can assume that:

Length of the longer side = x cm.

Length of the other sides = y cm.

The relationship between x and y is given by:

x = (2y - 11) cm (because it is mentioned that the longest side is 11 cm less than twice as long as the other sides).

Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all sides.

Since its an isosceles triangle, therefore:

Perimeter of the triangle = x + 2y.

Substituting the values in the perimeter formula gives:

Perimeter of the triangle = 2y - 11 + 2y.

49 = 4y - 11.

4y = 60.

y = 15 cm.

Substituting y = 15 in the equation x = 2y - 11 gives x = 2(15) - 11 = 19 cm.

So in the ascending order, the lengths are 15 cm, 15 cm, and 19 cm!!!

Three waiters at a local restaurant earned different amounts of money the past week. Jennifer earned $40 less than twice the amo
Nataly_w [17]
Let x be the amount earned by Tony. With this representation, Jennifer earned 2x - 40 and Chris earned x + 60. The amounts they earned should sum up to 900. The equation is,
                                  x + (2x - 40) + (x + 60) = 900
The value of x is 220. Therefore, Tony earned $220. Jennifer and Chris earned $400 and $280, respectively.
