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

Ana can finish a certain job in 10 hours. Together, Ana and Nina can finish the same job in 3 hours. How many hours can Nina fin
Over [174]

Answer:   4.5 hours

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Ana: \dfrac{1}{10}\ \text{job per hour}\\\\Nina: \dfrac{1}{x}\ \text{job per hour}\\\\Together: \dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{job per hour}\\\\\\Ana + Nina = Together\\\dfrac{1}{10}\quad +\dfrac{1}{x}\quad =\quad \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{10}(30x)+\dfrac{1}{x}(30x) =\dfrac{1}{3}(30x)\\\\\\\rightarrow\quad 3x+30=10x\\\\.\quad 3x+30=10x\\\underline{-3x\qquad \quad -3x\quad}\\.\qquad \quad 30=7x\\\\.\qquad \quad \dfrac{30}{7}=\dfrac{7x}{7}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad \dfrac{30}{7}=x

.\qquad \quad 4.5=x

If f(x) = 4x + 8 and g(x) = (x+4,<br> what is (fºg)(12)?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x+8\\g(x) = x + 4\\\\1. f(g(x)) = 4(x+4) + 8\\2. f(g(x)) = 4x + 16 + 8\\3. f(g(x))=4x + 24\\\\4. f(g(12)) = 4(12) + 24\\5. f(g(12)) = 48 + 24 = 72\\

To do these, you have to place the entire function inside the parent function's variables.

You are inputting the value of the function g(x) into f(x)

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.
sattari [20]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x use the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , then

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{x} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

x \sqrt{3} = 28\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

x = 28

-----------------------------------------------------------

To find y use the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{y} = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by y )

14\sqrt{3} = y \sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

y = 14
