Answer:
<h2>
John has $15 and Alex has $33</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem
x+y=48
x=2y+3
since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:
(2y+3)+y=48  -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45  -> y=15
plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x 
x+15 =48 --> x=33
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: 2 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width of the cement path.
Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters
Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters
Along width cement path, the length of region = 
width = 
Area of road with pool =  

Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)
![\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\  w=-14\ or \ w=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%20%3D4w%5E2%2B48w%2B135-%20135%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%3D%204w%5E2%2B48w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%204%20w%5E2%2B48w-112%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B12w-28%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BDivide%20both%20sides%20by%204%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B14w-2w-28%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%28w%2B14%29-2%28w%2B14%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%28w%2B14%29%28w-2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%20w%3D-14%5C%20or%20%5C%20w%3D2)
width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters
Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.
 
        
             
        
        
        
B. 19.8
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
14.2^ + x^ = 24.4^
201.64 + x^ = 595.36
x^ = 393.72
x = 19.84
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x = 1.14
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x - 1) + 7 = 6x - 3 - 2(-4x) [Given Equation]
6x - 3 + 7 = 6x - 3 + 8x [Distributive Property]
6x + 4 = 14x - 3 [Combine like-terms]
-8x + 4 = -3 [Subtraction Property of Equality]
-8x = -7 [Subtraction PoE]
x = 1.14 [Division PoE]
