The algebraic equation for small and large marbles are y=5x and z=3x+2. The number of small marbles is 310.The number of small marbles is 310.The number of large marbles is 188.

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

From the given information, Amy has three sizes of marbles.

Let x represents the medium marbles, y as small marbles and z as large marbles.

The number of small marbles she has is 5 times more than medium marbles. Then the algebraic equation for small marbles:

⇒ y = 5x.

The number of large marbles she has is two more than three times. Then the algebraic equation for large marbles:

⇒ z=3x+2.

And the sum of three marbles is 560.

∴x+y+z=560.

To find each number of marbles, substitute the algebraic equation of y and z in the above equation.

⇒x+5x+3x+2=560.

9x+2=560.

9x= 560-2.

9x=558.

x= 62.

∴The number of medium marbles is 62.

The number of small marbles y = 5x.

⇒y= 5(62)

y= 310.

∴The number of small marbles is 310.

The number of large marbles z = 3x+2.

⇒z= 3(62)+2

z=  186+2.

z=188.

∴The number of large marbles is 188.

Dan earns £9.30 per hour. How much will he earn for 9 hours work?
Dimas [21]

Answer: £83.70

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio.

Let x be the amount he earns for 9 hours of work.

\frac{9.30 pounds}{1 hour} = \frac{x pounds}{9 hours}

We can cross multiply:

x = 9*9.3

x = £83.70
