Answer:

David receives £90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let David's share be D

Let Mark's share be M

Let Henry's share be H

From the question, we obtained the following data:

David gets twice as much as Mark i.e

D = 2M

M = D/2

Mark gets three times as much as Henry i.e

M = 3H

H = M/3

H = (D/2) /3

H = D/6

The sum of their shares is £150 i.e

D + M + H = 150

D + D/2 + D/6 = 150

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fraction

6D + 3D + D = 900

10D = 900

Divide both side by the coefficient of D i.e 10

D = 900/10

D = 90

Therefore, David receives £90

Nadya [2.5K]
The width can be x.
so it means that the length is 2x
the equation would be
    2(x+2x)=24 inches
    2x+4x= 24
      6x= 24
       x=4 (this is  the width, so the length will be 8 inches)
the area will be 4 times 8 = 32

Work out the lengths of side a and side b 8cm and 5 cm 1 triangle 17cm and 12 cm on the other triangle pythagoras
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a = 9.4 cm

b = 12.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the image uploaded for diagram;

For the first diagram, side length a is calculated as follows;

a² = 8²  +  5²

a² = 64  +  25

a² = 89

a = √89

a = 9.4 cm ( approximated to 1 decimal place)

For the second diagram, side length b is calculated as follows;

b² = 17²  -  12²

b² = 145

b = √145

b = 12.0 cm (approximated to 1 decimal place)
