96÷2=48
63-48=15

So Sam should give Peter 15 of his stamps so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as him.

Answer:

Sam must give Peter 10 stamps so that Peter has twice as much as him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the exercise could be done using equations, I will teach you a much simpler method to find the answer to this type of exercise: add the stamps of Sam and Peter:

96 + 63 = 159

Since one must have twice the other, you will have to divide the total value into 3 (then two parts will correspond to Peter and 1 one to Sam)

159/3 = 53

With this value, Sam must have only 53 stamps and give the rest to Peter, and since Sam has 63 stamps, he will have to give Peter 10, with which Peter will have 106 stamps, which is double 53.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Students altogether liked cola the best 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of pupils = 60

Boys = 32

girls = 28

we will make a table

Gender cola milk water total

Boys 12 4 32

Girls 9 28

we can find the missing numbers

Let x be for milk

In boys 12 + x + 4 = 32

x = 16

In girls

as 21 liked milk altogether

so girls = 21 - 16 = 5

Gender cola milk water total

Boys 12 16 4 32

Girls 5 9 28

For cola let y

in girls

y + 5 + 9 = 28

y = 14

Gender cola milk water total

Boys 12 16 4 32

Girls 14 5 9 28

Altogether cola = 14 + 12 = 26

I need the equation for this ASAP!

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

5.714 liters of the 5% solution and 4.286 of the 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the volume of 40% solution and y = volume of the 5% solution.

x + y = 10

0.40x + 0.05y = 0.20(x + y)

From the first equation x = 10 -y so we have:

0.40(10 - y) + 0.05y = 0.20( 10 - y + y)

4 - 0.40y + 0.05y = 2

-0.35y = -2

y = 5.714 liters of the 5%.

and x = 10 - 5.714 = 4.286 liters of the 40% solution.

Show that 4(m + 7) + (m + 3)^2 = (m + 3)(m + 7) + 16

anygoal [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(m+7)+(m+3)^2=(m+3)(m+7)+16\\\\L_S=4(m+7)+(m+3)^2\\\\\text{use the distributive property}:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{and formula}:\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\L_S=(4)(m)+(4)(7)+m^2+2(m)(3)+3^2\\\\L_S=4m+28+m^2+6m+9\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\L_S=m^2+(4m+6m)+(28+9)\\\\L_S=m^2+10m+37$

$R_S=(m+3)(m+7)+16\\\\\text{use FOIL}:(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\R_S=(m)(m)+(m)(7)+(3)(m)+(3)(7)+16\\\\R_S=m^2+7m+3m+21+16\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\R_S=m^2+(7m+3m)+(21+16)\\\\R_S=m^2+10m+37\\\\\boxed{L_S=R_S}$
