Answer:

Total money they had at first $252.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount Silas had originally

y be the amount Raja had originally

According to given statement;

x = 3y     Eqn 1

x - 84 = y + 42    Eqn 2

Putting x=3y in Eqn 2

3y - 84 = y + 42

3y - y = 42 + 84

2y = 126

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{126}{2}\\y=63

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1

x = 3(63)

x = 189

Total money they originally had = 189 + 63 = $252

Hence,

Total money they had at first $252.

Find the radius of the sphere with the given volume<br><br>volume= 9/16 (pie symbol)ft cubed
xz_007 [3.2K]
Remember, the volume formula of a sphere is \frac{4}{3}  \pi  r^{3}.

Set that equation equal to whatever volume they give you and solve for r.

\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{9}{16} \pi

Now solve for r! I know you can do this. If you need help, just comment.

In a café, I order a cup of tea and a piece of cake and it costs £1.10. The next time I order 2 cups of tea and one piece of cak
defon

Answer:

£0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

t = one cup of tea

c = one piece of cake

t + c = £1.10

2t + c = £1.70

the cost increases by £0.60 (£1.70 - £1.10) when you order one more cup of tea which means that one cup of tea costs £0.60

substitute £0.60 into t + c = £1.10

£0.60 + c = £1.10

rearrange to get c = £1.10 - £0.60 = £0.50

so one piece of cake costs £0.50

Congratulations! You just won the lottery and plan to buy a bunch of cars and motorcycles for all your friends. You purchase 50
Sedaia [141]

Step 1

Let n represent car and m represent motorcycles.

n + m = 50 ...................1

car has four wheels and motorcycle has two wheels

4n + 2m = 164 .............................. 2

Step 2

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

from (1), make n subject of relation and substitute in equation 2.

n = 50 - m

Step 3

Substitute n in equation 2

4(50 - m) + 2m = 164

200 - 4m + 2m = 164

collect like terms

200 - 164 = 4m - 2m

36 = 2m

m = 36/2

m = 18

next find n

n = 50 - m

n = 50 - 18

n = 32

There are 32 cars and 18 motorcycles.
