Answer:

The amount that William has at the beginning is $37.50 and the amount that Gracie has at the beginning is $52.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> amount that William has at the beginning

y ---> amount that Gracie has at the beginning

we know that

William says to Gracie, "If you give me $7.50,we will have and equal amount of money

so

x+7.50=y-7.50

y=x+15.00 ----> equation A

"Grace responds, if you give me $ 7.50 instead, I will have twice as much money as you

2(x-7.50)=(y+7.50)

2x-15.00=y+7.50

2x-y=22.50 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

2x-(x+15.00)=22.50

solve for x

x=22.50+15.00=37.50

Find the value of y

y=37.50+15.00=52.50

therefore

The amount that William has at the beginning is $37.50 and the amount that Gracie has at the beginning is $52.50

The measures of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:5. what are the measures of the angles?
xxTIMURxx [149]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  36°, 54°, 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to assume that the given measures are <em>angle</em> ratios, not <em>side</em> ratios. Sides in the ratios 2:3:5 will not form a triangle.

For some multiplier x, the angle values will total 180°.

  2x +3x +5x = 180

  x = 180/(2+3+5) = 18

Then the angle measures are ...

  2x° = 2·18° = 36°

  3x° = 3·18° = 54°

  5x° = 5·18° = 90°

The angle measures are 36°, 54°, and 90°.
