Answer:

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Kelly's portion = x

Greg's portion = 2x

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

Total bill = $114.00

Total bill = Kelly's portion + Greg's portion + Joe's portion

114 = x + 2x + (4x - 1.50)

114 = 3x + 4x - 1.50

114 = 7x - 1.50

Add 1.50 to both sides

114 + 1.50 = 7x - 1.50 + 1.50

115.5 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

x = 115.5 / 7

= 16.5

x = $16.5

Kelly's portion = x

x = $16.5

Greg's portion = 2x

= 2 × 16.5

= $33

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

= 4(16.5) - 1.50

= 66 - 1.50

= $64.5

Therefore,

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

Suppose that you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of​ 6, you win​ $18; if you roll a total of​ 11, you win​ $72;
ser-zykov [4K]

You can roll a total of 6 by rolling (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), or (5, 1). There are 36 total possible rolls that can be obtained, so you roll a total of 6 with probability 5/36.

You can roll a total of 11 by rolling (5, 6) or (6, 5), hence with probability 2/36 = 1/18.

Any of the other remaining 29 outcomes occurs with probability 29/36.

The expected value of your winnings is

$18*5/36 + $72*1/18 - $9*29/36 = -$0.75

so the answer is E.

The area of a rectangle increased by seven is the same as for less than twice the area of the rectangle. Right and solve an equa
never [62]

Answer:

11 Square Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the Rectangle

First statement: The area of the rectangle is increased by seven, we have :

A+7

Second Statement: Four less than twice the area of the rectangle

Twice the Area=2A

Four less = 2A-4

Therefore:

2A-4=A+7

Collecting like terms

2A-A =7+4

A=11

The area of the rectangle is 11 Square Units.

9. Solve for x,<br>9x - 25<br>5x + 7<br>N​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + -25 = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x

-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-25 + 4x = 7 + 0

-25 + 4x = 7

Add '25' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0

0 + 4x = 7 + 25

4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32

4x = 32

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8
