Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

    J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

   L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

   E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also  L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also  J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

Find the measures of the angles in the figure.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

120^o,\,120^o,\,60^o,\,\,\,and\,\,\,60^o

which agrees with the first answer in the list of possible options.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the fact that the addition of all four internal angles of a quadrilateral must render 360^o. Then we can create the following equation and solve for the unknown "h":

2h+2h+h+h = 360^o\\6h=360^o\\h=60^o

Therefore the angles of this quadrilateral are:

120^o,\,120^o,\,60^o,\,\,\,and\,\,\,60^o

Ratio equivalents to 1:2
nata0808 [166]
2:4  3:6  4:8

Any ratio equals 1:2 as long as you can divide the first number by itself to get 1 and the second number with the 1st number.
Example
2:4
Divide the first number by 2 and you get 1 
Divide the second number by 2 and you get 2
So the ratio equals 1:2

Is X-13=x+1 true or false
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation provided in the exercise:

x-13=x+1

You need to solve for the variable "x".

In order to solve for "x" you can folllow the steps shown below:

1. You must apply the Addition property of equality and add 13 to both sides of the equation. Then:

x-13+(13)=x+1+(13)\\\\x=x+14

2. Finally you need to apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract "x" from both sides of the equation. So you get:

x-(x)=x+14-(x)\\\\0=14\ (FALSE)

Therefore, as you can observe, the given equation has no solutions.

The circumference of a circle is 9π m. What is the area of the circle? ASAP!
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

20.25 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) and circumference (C) of a circle are calculated using the formulae

C = 2πr and A = πr² ( where r is the radius )

calculate the radius using the formula for circumference

2πr = 9π ( divide both sides by 2π )

r = \frac{9\pi }{2\pi } = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5, hence

A = π × 4.5² = 20.25π m²

If $475 is put in the bank and each year the account earns 5% simple interest, then how much interest will be earned in ten year
sergiy2304 [10]
Hi there! The formula for simple interest is prt. That means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest rate) by the time (could be in months or years). In this case, we multiply 475 * 5% (0.05) to get 23.75. That's $23.75 in interest each year, but we're looking for the amount earned in 10 years. To do this, multiply 23.75 by 10. When you do, you get 237.5. There. $237.50 in interest will be earned in 10 years.
