Ok, so this one requires you to set up an equation that makes sense....(mr. Smith + mr. Harry)/2= 489...that is the average money from the problem....ok so let’s add some variables now and make it look like math. 2x is mr smith from the first sentence. X is mr. Harry. This yields
(2x+x)/2=489.....use inverse operations to yield
2x+x=978
Combine like terms to get
3x=978
Then divide by 3
To give you x=326
What does x tell you?
X= harry = 326
2x = Smith = 652
To check add them together and divide by 2 to get the average....489
Answer is -4/3
Merry Christmas
Answer:
3 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lou had r rocks in his collection.
He separated his rocks into 3 equal piles.
He now has 12 rocks in each pile.
<u>Question asked:</u>
Which equation represents this situation?
<u>Solution:</u>
Total number of rocks = 
He separated in number of piles = 3
Each pile contains = 12 rocks
The equation will be :-
3 = 12
Therefore, equation which represents this situation is
3 = 12
(X-4)^2 + (y+2) ^2 = 25 that’s in standard form I’m trying to figure out the other ones
