Answer:

Xena earns $144 a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Xena earns a week = X

Harry earns a week = (X + 45)

George earns a week = (X - 18)

According to the question,

2(X + 45) = 3(X - 18)

or, 2X + 90 = 3X - 54

or, 2X - 3X = -90 - 54

or, -X = - 144

or, X = 144 (Multiplying by -1 in both sides)

Therefore, Xena earns $144 a week.

Harry earns = $(144+45) = $189 and George earns $(144-18) = $126.

At a picnic there were 3 times as many adults as children and twice as many women as men. If there was a total of x men, women,
Lisa [10]

Answer:

I believe the answer is c.) x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw this on a webpage:

The moment we see “x,” we can consider picking numbers. The key here is contemplating how complicated the number should be. Swim with the current – let the question tell you. A quick look at the answer choices reveals that x could be something simple. Ultimately, we’re just dividing this value by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Keeping this in mind, let’s think about the first line of the question. If there are 3 times as many adults as children, and we’re keeping things simple, we can say that there are 3 adults and 1 child, for a total of 4 people. So, x = 4.

Now, we know that among our 3 adults, there are twice as many women as men. So let’s say there are 2 women and 1 man. Easy enough. In sum, we have 2 women, 1 man, and 1 child at this picnic, and a total of 4 people. The question is how many men are there? There’s just 1! So now we plug x = 4 into the answers and keep going until we find x = 1. Clearly x/4 will work, so C is our answer. The key was to let the question dictate our approach rather than trying to impose an approach on the question.
