Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = John's share ($)

     P = Peter's share ($)

     H = Henry's share ($)

 

1) H = P + 80

 

2) J/P = 6/3 = 2

 

3) P/H = 3/5  

 

Substitute equation 1) into equation 3)

 

P/(P + 80) = 3/5            (multiply both sides by (P + 80)

 

P = (3/5)*(P + 80)         (multiply both sides by 5)

 

5*P = 3*P + 240

 

2*P = 240

 

P = 240/2 = $120

 

Substitute P value into equation 2)

 

J/P = 2  or

 

J = 2*P = 2*$120 = $240

Answer:

John received $240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = John's share ($)

P = Peter's share ($)

H = Henry's share ($)

1) H = P + 80

2) J/P = 6/3 = 2

3) P/H = 3/5

Substitute equation 1) into equation 3)

P/(P + 80) = 3/5 (multiply both sides by (P + 80)

P = (3/5)*(P + 80) (multiply both sides by 5)

5*P = 3*P + 240

2*P = 240

P = 240/2 = $120

Substitute P value into equation 2)

J/P = 2 or

J = 2*P = 2*$120 = $240

Hope this helps!!

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
mel-nik [20]
The one that doesn't have an "x" repeated, that is an X-REPEAT
notice, the pair is just an x,y  pair.. .so if the "x" is repeated, is NOT a function

let's see

\bf \{(2, -2), (\boxed{1}, 5), (-2, 2), (\boxed{1}, -3), (8, -1)\}\impliedby \textit{has an "x" rep}eated\\\\
\{(3, -1), (7, 1), (-6, -1), (9, 1), (2, -1)\}\\\\
\{(6, 8), (5, 2), (\boxed{-2}, -5), (1, -3), (\boxed{-2}, 9)\}\impliedby \textit{has an "x" rep}eated\\\\
\{(\boxed{-3}, 1), (6, 3), (\boxed{-3}, 2), (\boxed{-3}, -3), (1, -1)\}\impliedby \textit{an "x" rep}eated

Tim and Tom are painters. Tim and Tom are painting a crate. Tom paints 10 sq ft per minute. They painted a particular crate in 1
slava [35]
Tom-------------- >10 sq ft per minute

Tim------------------- >3.5*10=35 sq ft per minute

 Both painters (10+35)=45 sq ft per minute

 let's assume a cubic unit crate----------> V1=1*1*1=1 feet3

<span>the total surface of the cube is S1=6*(1*1)=6 </span>sq ft

 if the volume of the cube increases twice 

V2=2 feet3 ------------------- >    2=x*x*x------------- >x=2^(1/3)

And the S2=6*(2^(1/3)*<span> 2</span>^(1/3)=9.5244 sq ft

V2/V1=9.5244/6=1.5874

Therefore

If Tim and Tom----------------------- > take 1 day----------- > to paint a crate V1

For the crate V2------------- > take 1.5874 days 

assuming an 8-hour work day

 0.5874*8=4.70 hr-------------- > 4 h 42 min

 The answer is 1 day 4h 42 min

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of 3 weeks. How many da
GuDViN [60]
Lets say W=Wesley, M=Max, and J=Jared.
So your equations are M=2J, 2M=W, and M+J+W=21days(3 weeks)
So substituting M and W into M+J+W=21 gives you 2J+J+2M=21, substitute M again, to get 2J+J+4J=21 so you get 7J=21 so J= 3 days. Using J=3, substitute in to find M, using M=2J, so M=2(3) so M=6 and using that, substitute into 2M=W, so 2(6)=W so W=12. And 12+6+3=21 to check.
