A=24+b
c=4a
c=4(24+b)
a+b+c=180
24+b+b+4(24+b)=180
24+b+b+96+4b=180
120+6b=180
6b=60
b=10
a=24+10
a=34
c=4(34)
c=136
34+10+136=180
So book a has 34 pages, book b has 10 pages, and book c has 136 pages.

<em>a=b+24</em>
<em>c=4a</em>
<em>b=a-24</em>
a+b+c=180
<u>sub in a,b and c into a+b+c=180</u>
b+24+4a+a-24=180
b+5a=180
sub a=b+24
b+5(b+24)=180
b+5b+120=180
6b=180-120
6b=60
b=10
Book B has 10 pages

23 + 4 + x = 25 -12 porfa ayuda :(
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

23 + 4 + x = 25 - 12

Combine like terms on both sides of the equation (by adding 23 and 4 on the left-hand side, and subtracting 12 from 25 on the right-hand side):

23 + 4 + x = 25 - 12

27 + x = 13

Next, subtract 27 from both sides to solve for x:

27 - 27 + x = 13 - 27

x = - 14

What is 524.47 rounded to the nearest tenth?

The tenth place is the first number to the right of a decimal. To determine if you're rounding or not, check the hundred's place, 2 numbers to the right of a decimal, for 5 or higher. If it's .45, round to .5, if it's .44, round to .4
Your answer is 524.5, which is B.)
