Answer:

Jacob: $80

Hilary: $120

Brian: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Brian gets be $x.

Amount Jacob gets= $(2x)

Amount Hilary gets= $(3x)

Total amount of money= $x +$(2x) +$(3x)= $(6x)

$240= $(6x)

6x= 240

x= 240÷6

x= 40

Now substitute the value of x to find out the amount of money each one gets.

Brian gets $40.

Amount Jacob gets= 2(40)= $80

Amount Hilary gets= 3(40)= $120

The area of the square is d^2. The area of the circle sandbox is πr^2=πd^2/4. So the area of play area only is equal to square area minus circle area which is d^2-πd^2/4.

Usimov [2.4K]

Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank

boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time

boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet

The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates

(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x

1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000

x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000

One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} (x-5)=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

So when we multiply this is what we get:

$\frac{x-5}{4}=13$

then we multiply the 4 by 13:

$x-5=52$

then after that we add 52+5 and we get:

$x=57\\$
