Answer:

$300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that L is the amount of money Luisa had in the beginning, and C is the amount of money Connor had in the beginning.

C + L = 360

C - 2/5 C = L + 2/5 C

Simplifying the second equation:

3/5 C = L + 2/5 C

1/5 C = L

Substituting into the first equation:

C + 1/5 C = 360

6/5 C = 360

C = 300

Connor originally had $300, and Luisa $60.  Connor gave Luisa $120, and they both had $180.

You must use the LCD 1/7 + 3/14 *Convert Into into like fractions and add them
Tresset [83]
The LCD of 1/17 and 3/14 is 14.

1/7 = 2/14

3/14 = 3/14

2 + 3 = 5

The denominators are the same, so it will remain the same.

= 5/14 <===

5/14 is your answer.


I hope this helps! :)

A flying saucer crashes in a Nebraska cornfield. The FBI investigates the wreckage and finds an engineering manual containing an
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

6 fingers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = the base of the numbers above

If X > 0

Then we have:

325 = 3 * X² + 2 * X¹ + 5 * X°

325 = 3X² + 2X + 5

42 = 4*X¹ + 2*X°

42 = 4X+ 2

And

411 = 4*X²+ 1*X¹ 1*X°

42 = 4X² + X + 1

Since 325 + 42= 11 then

3X² + 2X + 5 + 4X+ 2 = 4X² + X + 1 ------ Collect Like Terms

3X² - 4X² + 2X + 4X - X + 5 + 2 - 1 = 0

-X² + 5X + 6 = 0 ------- Multiply both sides by -1

X² - 5X - 6 = 0 ------- Factorise the Equation

X² - 6X + X - 6 = 0

X(X - 6) + 1( X - 6) = 0

(X + 1)(X - 6) = 0

X + 1 = 0 or X - 6 = 0

X = -1 or X = 6

But X>0

So, X =-1 is invalid

X = 6

Equations of straight lines are in the form : y = mx + c

m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis)

m=5
