Let's assume

Amy has x peaches

John has y peaches

Amy and John shared 150 peaches

so, we get

x+y=150

now, we can solve for y

y=150-x

we are given

(1/3) of what Amy has equals to (1/2) of what John has

\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{1}{2}y

now, we can plug y

\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{1}{2}(150-x)

we can cross multiply

and we get

2x=3(150-x)

2x=450-3x

5x=450

x=90

now, we can find y

y=150-90

y=60

so,

Amy has 90 peaches

John has 60 peaches..........Answer

josh bought followers for nancy. he spent a total of $14.85 and bought 13 flowers. if he knows lilies cost $1.25 and tulips cost
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = lillies

y = tulips

x + y = 13

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-1.25x - 1.25y = -16.25

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-0.35y = -1.40

y = 4 tulips

x + 4 = 13

x = 9 lillies

(9 lillies, 4 tulips)

F(x) = -3x+17 and g(x) = x^2 -6 find g(5)-f(5)
aniked [119]

Answer:

For the given functions, the value of   g(5)-f(5)  = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given functions are:

f(x) =  -3x + 17

g(x) = x ^2 - 6

So, f(5)  = -3(5) + 17

= -15 + 17  = 2

And g(5) = (5)^2  - 6  = 25 - 6  = 19

So, f(5) = 2 and g(5) = 19

⇒g(5) - f(5) =  19 - 2  = 17

Hence, for the given functions, the value of   g(5)-f(5)  = 17
