Let J be the number of marbles owned by John, and S the number of marbles owned by Steve.

John has three more marbles than Steve, so J = S + 3 \iff J - S = 3

They have 25 marbles, so J+S = 25

So, we have the following system:

\begin{cases} J - S = 3\\J + S = 25\end{cases}

Add the two equations side by side:

(J - S) + (J + S) = 3 + 25 \iff 2J = 28 \iff J = 14

Since John has three more marbles, we have

S = J - 3 = 14 - 3 = 11

What is 39 44/55 round to the nearest ten?
muminat
<span> 0.8  that for the 44/55 idk what u want me to do with the 39

here how 2 turn them into decimals 
</span>

The fraction bar means "divided by." So finding the decimal equivalent of a fraction such as 1/4 means 1 divided by 4.
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

It is not necessary to reduce a fraction before you convert it to a decimal but doing so might make the long division easier if you are doing it by hand.

For example, 9/12 = 9 ÷ 12 = 0.75. If you solve this with a calculator then it is easy to get the answer. However, if you use long division to solve this problem by hand or in your head, reducing 9/12 = 3/4, may make the problem easier. You may even recognize that 3/4 = 0.75 because 3 quarters equals 75 cents.

The number line shows the distance in meters of two birds, A and B, from a worm located at point X:
Svetlanka [38]

The image of the number line is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

5 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that point A is at -2.5 while point B is at 2.5.

Thus,distance between points A and B is; 2.5 - (-2.5). Where -2.5 is the additive inverse of 2.5.

Minus outside bracket when multiplied by minus inside the bracket will yield a positive sign.. Thus: distance = 2.5 + 2.5 = 5 m
