If we place what the husband earns as h and what the wife earns as w, we can begin...
w + h = 110000

but w = 2h - 16000

We can turn it into..

2h - 16000 + h = 110000

Which we can then combine into..

3h - 16000 = 110000

Add 16000 and..

3h = 126000

Divide by three...

h = 42000

(nice)

The husband earns 42,000$ a year

Bonus: The wife then earns 68,000$

42,000 (or h) + 68,000 (or w) = 110,000

Because this is the original equation, we are correct.

liubo4ka [24]
Given:
two pieces of wood that are 5 feet long each.
form a triangle with a perimeter of a whole number.
third side the triangle will be the house 

Since two sides are already of the same length, he can create an isosceles triangle. 

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles.

Assuming that the 3rd side is also 5 feet long, then, he can create an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles, measuring 60° each angle.

3 Fred is making a fruit salad. The ratio
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 24 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches  that Fred will need to make 60 cups of  fruit salad.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:

2:3

Which can also be written as a fraction:

\frac{2}{3}

Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(60)(\frac{2}{5})=x\\\\x=24
