Let's first convert that amount of money into cents, which makes 336 cents. Then, let's denote the amount of money one of the boys has with x. The other boy has got 3x-12 amount of money. We can construct an equation. $3x-12+x=336$ . Solving it we find that x=87 cents or $ 0.87 and the other boy holds $2.49 amount of money.

What is the center and radius of the equation (x-8)^2 +(y+6)^2=13

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

where (a, b) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 8)² + (y + 6)² = 13 is in this form

with centre = (8, - 6) and r = $\sqrt{13}$

Nostrana [21]

Since 4 nights cost $356, 356÷4=89, so one night costs $89. 7-4=3, so 89×3 is 267. 267+356 is 623. The total cost for 7 nights would be $623

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20

Rzqust [24]

Set the number to x.

$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=20$
$\frac{4x}{12}-\frac{3x}{12}=20$
$\frac{x}{12}=20$
$x=240$

Thus, the number is 240.
