Answer:

A = $150

B = $130

C = $140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount received by a be $x

b receives $20 less than a;

we have that;

b = x - 20

c receives half of Sum A and B

c = (x + x-20)/2

c = (2x-20)/2

c = x - 10

Add all and it gives 420

x - 10 + x -20 + x = 420

3x -30 = 420

3x = 420 + 30

3x = 450

x = 450/3

x =$150

a = 150

b = x - 20; 150 - 20 = 130

c = x-10

c = 150-10

c = $140

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
nataly862011 [7]
First, because 13x-85 and 97 are across from each other like that, you know that they are equal to each other. If you solve, you know that x is equal to 14. Then, you know that all the angles must equal 360 degrees. If you add 97 and 97 together, you get 194. Now, subtract that by 360, and you get the remaining degrees of the other two angles. Then, divide that by two, and z equals 83. Hope this helped!

A cube with a side of 1m was sawn into cubes with a side of 1 cm and then laid in a row (in a straight line). What was the lengt
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

10 km

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3

1 m = 100 cm

volume = s^3 = (1 m)^3 = (100 cm)^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3

Since 1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3, when you lay down the 1-cm cubes in a straight line with the edges touching, the line is 1,000,000 cm long.

1,000,000 cm = 10,000 m = 10 km
