Answer:

<h2>C.  $1,689.00</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount spent by Tim be x and the amount spent by Nikko be y

If Tim spent $55 more than 2/3 of the amount that Nikko spent for his computer, then amount spent by Tim will be x = 55+2/3 y

Since the total amount that Tim and Nikko spent for their computers was $2,870 then;

x+y = $2,870

Substituting  x = 55+2/3y into the equation above, we will have;

55+2y/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y)/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y+3y)/3 = 2,870

cross multiply

165 + 2y+3y =  3*2870

165+5y = 8610

5y = 8610-165

5y = 8445

y = 8445/5

y = 1689

<em>Hence Nikko spent  a sum of $1,689.00 on his computer.</em>

Can you please help?
babymother [125]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have equal sides.

Two sides are equal, so we can put up an equation to solve for x.

6x+3=10x-5

6x-10x=-5-3

-4x=-8

4x=8

4x/4=8/4

x=2

Let's solve for one side of the triangle.

10(2)-5

20-5

=15
