Answer:

Russell:  40 pounds; Sarah:  100 pounds; and Terry:  160 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three different amounts of money are 2x, 5x and 8x, or 15x.

Terry gets 8x, whereas Russell gets 2x, and 8x - 2x = 120 pounds.

Solving for x, 6x = 120 pounds, and so x = 20 pounds.

Russell gets 2(20 pounds);  Sarah gets 5(20 pounds); and Terry gets 8(20 pounds), or 40 pounds, 100 pounds and 160 pounds.  Note that 40 pounds is 120 pounds less than 160 pounds, as required by the problem.

B because the square root of a squared and b squared is = c squared, therefore, meaning if you have side c and b for triangle ABC you'll do 12"2+x=18'2
which will approximately be 13.42. you put 13.42/6= 2/1

In the half-angle formula for sine and cosine, notice that a plus/minus sign appears in front of each radical (square root). Whether your answer is positive or negative depends on which quadrant the new angle (the half angle) is in

Solve for b.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:b>-1 and 66/67

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add like terms. So 96+43. Your problem should now look like this -67+6=139. Now subtract 139 from 6 and you will be left with this -67b<133. Now divide 133 by -67 and you get -1.985074627. Or -1 66/67 as a fraction. You have to flip the sign because you divided by a negative number. You answer should look like this b>-1 and 66/67.
