Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
Answer:
8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
if we made this into a rectangle (pretend you chop off one of the triangles and glue it to the other one to make a long rectangle), the length would be 10+4.5, or 14.5. to find what h is, we can just divide 116 by 14.5. our answer is 8.
3x2+4x=2
6+4x=2
-6 -6
4x=-4
4 4
x=-1
Answer:
5 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation: If you have 10 people and each will get two slices then you will need 20 pieces of pizza because 10x2 is 20. If each pizza has 4 slices then you will need 5 pizzas because 4/20 is 5.
