Let m and r represent the maximum speeds of Malcolm and Ravi in km/h, respectively.

... (m + r)/2 = 260 . . . . . the average of their speeds was 260 kph

... 2m = r + 80 . . . . . . . . double Malcolm's speed is 80 kph more than Ravi's

The second equation can be solved for r and that expression substituted into the first equation.

... 2m - 80 = r . . . . . . . . . . . an expression for r from the second equation

... (m + 2m - 80)/2 = 260 . . . the result of substituting that into the first

... 3m - 80 = 520 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

... m = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80 and divide by 3

... 2·200 - 80 = r = 320 . . .substitute the value of m into the expression for r

Malcolm's maximum speed was 200 km/h.

Ravi's maximum speed was 320 km/h.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. A sold-out p
Alchen [17]

Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be

2500x + 30000

A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be

3125x

To break even, cost = revenue

Therefore,

2500x + 30000 = 3125x

3125x - 2500x = 30000

625x = 30000

x = 30000/625

x = 48

When 8 is subtracted from Ollie’s age, the result is the same as subtracting 16 from 3 times his age.
Scilla [17]
X - Ollie's age

8 is subtracted from Ollie's age = x-8
the result is the same as
subtracting 16 from 3 times his age = 3x-16

x-8=3x-16 \\&#10;x-3x=-16+8 \\&#10;-2x=-8 \\&#10;x=4

Ollie is 4 years old.

How would I do this question.

Answer:

The density of cube is 6.17959 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The density is given by ration of a mass of body and volume occupied by a body.

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where,

\rho is density.

m is mass of a body

V is the volume of a body

Given that one side of the cube is 0.53cm

Hence, the volume of a body is V=0.53^{3}=0.148877cm^{3}

Now, the Density of the cube will be

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

\rho = \frac{0.92}{0.148877}

\rho =6.17959

Thus, The density of cube is 6.17959 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }
