Answer:

The person who receives the most will get $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount received by the first person

y ----> amount received by the second person

z ----> amount received by the third person

we know that

x+y+z=48 ----> equation A

x:y:z=3:2:1

so

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5y ----> equation B

\frac{y}{z}=\frac{2}{1}

z=0.5y ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

1.5y+y+0.5y=48

solve for y

3y=48\\y=\$16

Find the value of x

x=1.5(16)=\$24

Find the value of z

z=0.5(16)=\$8

therefore

The person who receives the most will get $24

What value of x makes the equation true?
Aleksandr [31]
♥ Answer: x=-6.9

Solve:
You need to <span>Simplify both sides of the equation.
</span>806.265=-116.85x
Now: <span>Flip the equation.
</span>-116.85x=806.265<span>
</span>Lastly <span>Divide both sides by -116.85.
</span>\frac{-116.85x}{-116.85} = \frac{806.265}{-116.85}


Final answer: x=-6.9

How do it do this ????
V125BC [204]
Because he drove 1542.75 miles in 3 days, you would have to divide 1542.75 by 3 to figure out how many miles he drove in one day.

1542.75/3 = 514.25

Then to figure out how many miles he drove per hour, you would divide 514.25 by 8.5, which is the same as 8 1/2 hours.

514.25/8.5 = 60.5

So the answer is 60.5 mph

If candidate receive majority of 1st place votes they should be the winner: Borda Count can violate
irinina [24]

Answer:

B should have been the winner. Since B received the majority of the votes, he should be the winner, not A, and it doesnt matter how close was the election or how cmany votes A got in reality. If B had more votes for 1st place, then it should be the winner, not A. I am assuming that there were electoral fraud and someone intentionally didnt count valid votes from B.

Which is a y-intercept of the continuous function in the table? (0, –6) (–2, 0) (–6, 0) (0, –2)
photoshop1234 [79]

Y- intercept is a point where any graph crosses the y- axis.

X- intercept is a point where any graph crosses the x- axis.

This means the coordinate of the point of intersection will always have the x point as 0. So any point of the form ( 0, y) is the y- intercept. Any point of the form (x,0) is the x- intercept.

Given point are :

(0,-6) : y intercept

(-2,0) : x intercept

(-6,0): x- intercept

(0,-2): y- intercept
