2x+4=10
2x=6
x=3
2(3)+4= 10
(plus, on parallelograms like that, parallel sides are equal to each other)
Answer:
There is no solution the answers there is not the right answer
Using a system of equations, it is found that initially Ada has $0.385.
For the system, we have that the variables are:
- x is Ada's amount.
- y is Betty's amount.
- z is Chris's amount.
- w is David's amount.
$45 total, hence:

Ada <u>gets 2 from Betty</u>, hence:



<u>Chris triples</u> his money and <u>David's</u> money is <u>cut by half</u> four of them have the same amount, hence:

Then:




Solving for w, we find Ada's initial amount.







Initially, Ada has $0.385.

Answer:
x = 0
y = 5
z = -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
X-5y-z=-20
-2x-y-6z=25
-x-4y-z=-15
Add equation 1 and 3:
-9y - 2z = -35 .......... A
Multiply the first equation by 2:
2x - 10y - 2z = -40
Now add this to equation 2:
-11y -8z = -15.............B
Now multiply equation A by -4:
36y + 8x = 140.........C
Add equations B and C:
25y = 125
y = 5.
Substitute for y in equation A:
-9*5 - 2z = -35
2z = -45 + 35 = - 10
z = -5.
Now find x by substituting for y and z in the first equation:
x - 5(5) - (-5) = -20
x - 20 = -20
x = 0.
