Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.
Susan made 10 baskets.
Bill made 17 baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.
Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.
Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.
Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that
x = y + 5
Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that
z = 2y - 3
Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that
x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42
4y + 2 = 42
4y = 42 - 2 = 40
y = 40/4 = 10
x = y + 5 = 10 + 5
x = 15
z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3
z = 20 - 3 = 17

(a+b)/x=m
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number will either end or repeat forever like the first three, but the fourth one, pi, will go on forever and never repeat, making it irrational.
20× 8 = 160
160 + 2x > or = 500
-160--------------- -160
2x > or = 340
÷2------------÷2
x > or = 170
She has to sell at least 170 cupcakes to make $500 in profit.
Hope this helps!
