Let the marks of Devi be x and Ali be y.

So, the equations:

2y = x <em>and</em> y + 16 = x

So,

2y = y + 16. [ because we know equals are equal to equals]

=> 2y - y = 16

=> y = 16

Check

Ali's marks are half of Devi's marks.

Devi's marks are 16 more than alis.

So, Devi's marks will be 16×2 = 32 and 32 is 16 greater than 16 (16+16=32).

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

532m squared is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into two shapes

one will be a square and the other one a triangle

1) since the length and the width of the square is 18m just Multiply

18x18=324m squared

2) look carefully the width of the square you split is equal to the base of the triangle, so you connect the 18 and the 8 together.

18+8=26m squared

3) Now solve the triangle since you know the height which is 16m squared.

A=lw/2

26x16=416

416 divided by 2 is 208

4) finally just Add

208+324=532m squared

Hopes this helps!

Henry packed some apples in a box. The total mass of the box and the apples was 16 240 g. He packed some strawberries in a simil

icang [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = mass of apples

y = mass of strawberries

z = mass of the box

x = 3y

x + z = 16240

y + z = 6350

let's subtract the second from the first equation

x + z = 16240

- y + z = 6350

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

x - y + 0 = 9890

using the first identity in that result gives us

3y - y = 9890

2y = 9890

y = 4,945 g

x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples

Michele is starting a new pool-cleaning business. It costs her $85 to purchase supplies. Michele charges $40 each time she clean

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of purchasing supplies = $85

Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40

Let,

x be the number of pools cleaned.

y be the profit

Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies

y = 40x - 85

Hence,

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
