Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.

Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required

Answer:
(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
One property of a parallelogram is
• opposite angles are congruent, hence
∠L = ∠N and ∠M = ∠P
Using ∠L = ∠N, then
8x - 41 = 6x + 3 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
2x - 41 = 3 ( add 41 to both sides )
2x = 44 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 22
-------------
∠M = 2x + 1 = (2 × 22) + 1 = 44 + 1 = 45°
∠P = ∠M = 45° → (2)
