Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben has b,

sean has s

alexis has a

samantha has s

Money.

We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.

b + s + a + s = 47

b + s = 27

b + a = 25

b + s = 23

We need to find a.

Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:

27 + a + s = 47

a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation

Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:

b + s = 23

b = 23 - s

Putting in 3rd equation:

23 - s + a = 25

a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation

Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:

a + s = 20

a - s = 2

-------------

2a = 22

a = 22/2 = 11

Alexis got $11

If the lines a and b in the diagram below are parallelm why do angles 2 and 6 measure 60 degree angles
Bas_tet [7]
Angles 2 and 6 are corresponding angles, which would explain why they are congruent if lines a and b are parallel, but there is nothing in the problem to explain that any of the angles equals 60 degrees since no measurements were given in the diagram.

A quadratic equation is shown below: 2x2 − 10x − 8 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the
dangina [55]
PART A:

The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0

The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c

From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8

Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164

The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots

PART B:

4x²-12x+5 = 0

We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12

The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation 
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0

2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0
x = 1/2 and x = 5/2

If there are 35 yellow books in the bookcase, then how many green books are in the bookcase
alukav5142 [94]

ANSWER

D. 14

EXPLANATION

The ratio of the books in the book case are:

Red:Yellow:Green=3:5:2

The number of yellow books in the book case is 35.

If 5 corresponds to 35, then 2 green books will correspond to a less number of books,

By proportion, because it is going to be less more will divide.

The number of green books in the book case is

=  \frac{35 \times 2}{5}

= 7 \times 2 = 14
