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

A pile of newspaper was 17 3/4 inches high. Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inc
Murljashka [212]

Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches

d = 103/12 inches

n = 3 weeks

the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,

T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12

T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6

T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches

A rectangular garden has length and width as given by the expressions below.
Tom [10]

Answer:

P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

                                    P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(4 - 7(3x + 4y)) + 2(3x(-2y))

P = 8 - 14(3x + 4y) + 6x(-2y)

P = 8 - 42x - 56y - 12xy

                              P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8
