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.

How do you convert set notation to interval notation?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Imagine we are to express  [ a , b ]  in set notation

A = [ a , b ] , then  A = { x  ∈  R  /  a ≤ x ≤ b }

In this notation we define the characteristics of all  x  belonging to this set  A ....x must be greater or equal to a and simultaneously smaller or equal to b...

Interval notation is other way to say the same but assuming that  means the extreme a is IN the interval and  means extreme  a  is not.
