The number of messages sent by Elsa, Ryan and Jim are 11 , 84 and 21 respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, the number of messages Jim sent is x

As Ryan sent 4 times as many messages as Jim, so the number of messages sent by Ryan = 4x

Also, Elsa sent 10 fewer messages than Jim, so the number of messages sent by Elsa = x-10

Given that, they sent a <u>total of 116</u> text messages. So the equation will be.......

x+4x+(x-10)=116\\ \\ 6x-10=116\\ \\ 6x= 126\\ \\ x= \frac{126}{6}= 21

So, the number of messages sent by each of them.....

Jim = 21\\ Ryan = 4*21= 84\\ Elsa= 21-10= 11

Mr. Roseanne will buy 12 1/2 pounds beef for for a cookout. The price for the first 3 pounds of beef is $4.99 per pound. After t
Yuri [45]

Answer:

As per the statement:

Mr. Roseanne will buy 12\frac{1}{2} pounds beef for for a cookout.

⇒ Weight of the beef he buy = \frac{25}{2} pounds.

It is given that:

The price for the first 3 pounds of beef is $4.99 per pound.

then;

the price for 3 pounds he will pay= 3 \times 4.99 =\$ 14.97

After that, the price is $4.49 per pound.

Remaining weight of beef left  = \frac{25}{2} -3 = \frac{19}{2} pounds.

then;

the price of \frac{19}{2} pounds he will pay = \frac{19}{2} \times 4.49= \$42.655

now, total money he will pay for the 12\frac{1}{2} pounds beef = 14.97+42.655 = \$57.625

Therefore, $57.625 will Mr. Roseanne pay for the beef

Hi can someone PLEASE explain this to me i’m STRUGGLING
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadrilatoral the interior angle sum always adds up to 360 degrees so to find x you would add all of the interior angle sums and subtract that from 360

115 + 95 + 70 + x = 360     just add the like terms

280 + x = 360                 now subtract 280 from both sides so x is alone and you can figure out its value

x= 80
