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.

Please do #4 It’s it the one on the bottom
spin [16.1K]

We need to graph this equation:

16x+2y=300

Its solutions are the points through which it graph passes. Since it's a linear equation its graph is a straight line and we only need two of its points to draw it. But before graphing let's re-write the equation. We can substract 16x from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 16x+2y=300 \\ 16x+2y-16x=300-16x \\ 2y=300-16x \end{gathered}

And we divide both sides by 2:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{300-16x}{2}=\frac{300}{2}-\frac{16x}{2} \\ y=150-8x \end{gathered}

So now with this equation if we pick two random x values we'll get their corresponding y values. This way we'll find two points that are part of the graph which is the line that passes through both. We can begin with x=0:

y=150-8\cdot0=150

So the first point is (0,150). Then we can take x=10 and we get:

y=150-8\cdot10=150-80=70

So the second point is (10,70). Then the graph is the line that passes through points (0,150) and (10,70). In order to represent it

Ioana has three ropes whose lengths are 39 inches, 52 inches and 65 inches. She wants to cut the ropes into equal length pieces
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest number of inches possible in the length of each piece, we need to find the greatest common divisor of 39, 52 and 65.

So, the divisors of 39 are: 1, 3 and 13

The divisors of 52 are: 1, 2, 4, 13 and 26

The divisors of 65 are: 1, 5 and 13

Therefore, the common divisors are 1 and 13. Finally the greatest common divisor is 13. It means that the greatest number of inches possible in the length of each piece is 13 inches.
