Answer:

£90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = Malachy's share

and P = Paul's share

and B = Brian's share.

We have three conditions:

                                              (1)               M = 2P

                                               (2)                P = 3B

                                               (3)   M + P + B = 150

Solve for B:

Substitute (2) into (3)             (4) M + 3B + B = 150

                                               (5)       M + 4B = 150

Substitute (2) into (1)                                  M = 2(3B)

                                               (6)                M = 6B

Substitute (6) into (5)                6B + 3B + B = 1 50

                                               (7)                B = 15

Solve for P:

Substitute (7) into (2)                                  P = 3×15

                                               (8)                P = 45

Solve for M:

Substitute (8) into (1)                                  M = 2×45

                                                                   M = 90

Malachy gets £90.

Bradley owe's his parents $275. Every week, Bradley pays his parents back $55. Which function represents the
erica [24]

Answer:

The function f(x) = 275-55x represents the amount of money Bradley still owes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount Bradley owes = $275

Amount Bradley pays each week = $55

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

We will subtract the amount paid every weeks from the total amount, where x is the number of weeks. The function will be given by;

f(x) = 275 - 55x

Hence,

The function f(x) = 275-55x represents the amount of money Bradley still owes.

<h3>​(-3j²k³)²(2j²k)³</h3>

(-3j²k³)²(2j²k)³ = <em>When a power is raised to a power the exponents have to be multiplied.​</em>

​= (-3²j⁽²*²⁾k⁽³*²⁾)(2³j⁽²*³⁾k³) = <em>We can take out the constants</em>

​= (9)(8)(j⁴k⁶)(j⁶k³) = <em>We can group the same variables</em>

= 72(j⁴j⁶)(k⁶k³) = <em>When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you have to add the exponents.​</em>

= 72 j⁽⁴⁺⁶⁾k⁽⁶⁺³⁾ = 72j¹⁰k⁹​

​Answer = 72j¹⁰k⁹

​Hope this helps!​​​​
