Answer:

Mary = $18

Jane = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you need to do is find out how much each part is.  To do that you need to add each side of the ratio together (3 + 5 = 8).  THen you set up an equation showing the 8 parts * x = 48 and solve for x.

8x = 48

x = 6 <--  Value of each part

Now you multiply the 6 by the number on each side of the ratio,

Mary = 3 * 6 = 18

Jane = 5 * 6 = 30

The above is your answer.

Answer:

Mary- $18

Jane- $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers in the ratio together to get 8, and multiply 8 by the variable of x. Divide the total amount of money that both girls earned by 8. You will get x=6. Multiply 6 by 3 to get the amount of money Mary earned, which is 18, and multiply 6 by 5 to get the amount of money Jane earned, which is 30.

x(3+5) = $48

3x + 5x = $48

8x = $48

8x/8 = $48/8

x = $6

3($6):5($6) = $18:$30

Segment XY bisects angle WXZ and angle mZXY = 37 degrees. Find angle mWXY and angle mZXW
Vadim26 [7]

we know that

The angle bisector, is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts.

So

in this problem

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY

Part a) <u>Find the value of m∠WXY</u>

m∠ZXY=37°-----> given value

so

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY=37°

therefore

<u>the answer part a)</u>

The measure of angle WXY is equal to 37°

Part b) <u>Find the value of m∠ZXW</u>

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠ZXW=37°+37°=74°

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

the measure of angle ZXW is 74 degrees

I need some help please!<br> K is the midpoint or segment JL. JL=3x-15 <br> JK=18<br> Find x.
vazorg [7]

Because K is the midpoint of JL and JK = 18, KL must also equal 18. So the equation would be 3x - 15 = 36 because you add 18 + 18. You then add 15 to both sides to get 3x = 51. Then you divide by 3 on both sides to get x = 17.
