Let the number of houses the boys deliver newspaper = x

Matthew delivers 2x newspapers

His brother delivers x newspapers,

Matthew earns per paper = $0.10

Matthew delivers twice a week so he earns = 0.10\times2=0.20

His brother earns per newspaper = $0.25

So, equation becomes,

0.20x+0.25x=13.95

0.45x=13.95

x=31

So, there are 31 houses where both these boys deliver newspapers.

Hence, Matthew delivers 2*31= 62 newspapers

His brother delivers 31 newspapers.

So, option A : Matthew: 62 papers; brother: 31 papers is the right option.

If 3 p +3 4 =90
klemol [59]
3p + 34 = 90
3p = 90 - 34
3p = 56
p = 56/3
p = 18.67 (thats rounded)

2r + 44 = 76
2r = 76 - 44
2r = 32
r = 32/2
r = 16

53 + 6s = 1421
6s = 1421 - 53
6s = 1368
s = 1368/6
s = 228

" the product " means multiply
p x r x s = 18.67 x 16 x 228 = 68,108.16

Y=10x, 10 is the amount of money Miranda earns per hour , x is the amount of hours she works, y is the total amount of money she earns.
For Tommy’s earnings, use slope formula, which is y=y2-y1/x2-x1, take two random points from the table, (4,32) and (5,40)
(4,32) is (x1,y1). (5,40) is (x2,y2)
40-32/5-4= 8/1
The answer is 8. y=8x

P, Q &amp; R form a right-angled triangle.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

∠RPQ = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔSRQ,

∠R = 90

∠SQR = 36°

∠R + ∠SQR + ∠RSQ = 180    {Angle sum property of triangle}

90 + 36 + ∠RSQ = 180

126 + ∠RSQ = 180

         ∠RSQ = 180 - 126

        ∠RSQ = 54°

∠PSQ +∠RSQ = 180   {Linear pair}

∠PSQ + 54 = 180

 ∠PSQ = 180 - 54

∠PSQ = 126

In ΔPSQ,

SQ = PS ,

So, ∠SQP = ∠SPQ    {Angles opposite to equal sides are equal}

∠SQP = ∠SPQ   =x

∠PSQ + x +x = 180  {Angle sum property of triangle}

126 + 2x = 180

2x = 180 - 126

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

∠RPQ = 27°
