Short Answer: Tony 40 Cleo 30
Givens

T = Tony
C = Cleo

Equations
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30      (1)
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31       (2)

Adjustments
Multiply  (1) by 3
Multiply (2) by 2

New Equations
3/2 T + C = 90      (1a)
<u>4/5 T + C = 62</u>      (2a) Subtract (2a) from (1a)
(3/2 - 4/5)T = 28                      the common multiple of 2 and 5 = 10. 
(15/10 - 8/10)T = 28
7/10 T = 28                              Multiply by 10
7T = 28*10
7T = 280  Divide by 7
T = 280/7 = 40

Put T = 40 into (1)
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30
1/2 (40) + 1/3 C = 30
20 + 1/3 C = 30                      Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/3 C = 30 - 20
1/3 C = 10                              Multiply through by 3
C = 10 * 3
C = 30

Answer:
Cleo has 30 books.
Tony has 40 books.

Check
<em>Use Equation 2</em>
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31
2/5*40 + 1/2 * 30 = ? 31
16 + 15 =?3`
31 = 31 They are equal.

Help me please i need your help
marishachu [46]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\underline{\maltese{\pink{\pmb{\sf{\: SOLUTION: \: \: \: \: (3x + 4)^{2}}}}}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is;: 'I think of a number, multiply it by 3, add 4 & square the result.'

At first, let's take the unknown number as 'x' . (asked in the question).

So, the number we think about = x

Now, we need to multiply it by 3. So,

  • 3 * x = 3x

In the next part, we need to add 4 to it so,

  • 3x + 4

Now, by squaring the result, we'll get the expression as,

  • <u>(3x + 4)²</u>

<u>____________</u>

Hope it helps!

Which statement best explains the relationship between
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: They are not perpendicular because their slopes are  not negative reciprocals.

Step-by-step explanation:

For these two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be negative reciprocals.

Slope of FG.

F = (-4, 1)

G = (0, -2)

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 1) / (0 + 4)

= -3/4

Slope of HJ

J = (0 , 4)

H = (-4, -2)

Slope =  (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 4) / (-4 -0)

= 6/4

= 3/2

<em>The slopes of these lines are not negative reciprocals so these lines are not perpendicular. </em>
