KIM [24]
Money of Phoebe - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe, - £270
Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

B + A + L = £270 (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

A = 2L (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

B = 3A
B = 3 x (2L)
B = 6L (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

6L + 2L + L = £270
9L = £270
L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

A = 2L
A = 2(£30)
A = £60

Andy has £60

B = 6L
B = 6(£30)
B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Answer:

a. an independent-samples design.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent sample design is the one in which samples are selected randomly. It is the observation which is not dependent on any other value. The statistical analysis is based on the assumption that the samples are independent. The study in this scenario is not dependent on any other variable and is based on independent sample design.

Name a pair of adjacent angles. explain why they are adjacent. Name a pair of acute vertical angles. Name a pair of supplementar
Anna71 [15]
The 41° and the 90° are adjacent.  They are adjacent because they are touching each other side by side.  That is the angles SUR and SUT

Angle SUR is acute, because it is 41° and it less than 90°.  Same as angle  PUQ. Angle PUR = Angle SUR, both are vertically opposite, therefore PUR is also 41°. 

Angles TUQ and QUN are both supplementary because they both add up to 180°, which is the straight line TUN.
