Answer:
The cost of spoon is £1.84 and therefore the cost of one knife is £5.52.
Given :
-
A knife is 3 times the cost of the spoon.
- 9 spoons and 12 knives costs £82.80.
Solution :
-
This question is solve by creating a linear equation and linear equations are nothing but yet another subset of "equations".
- Linear calculations that requires more than one variable can be done with the help of linear equations.
- The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is ax + b = 0.
Now let x be the cost of spoon. Than the cost knife is 3x. It is given that 9 spoons and 12 knives costs £82.80.
<h3>

</h3>
Therefore the cost of 1 knife = 5.52
Step-by-step explanation: 
2/5 of an hour is 12 minutes
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.
8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5
10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify
3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The short segments are also proportional:
(x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4
x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify
x = 3 . . . . . . add 1
