Answer:

They each have $180 before they started.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the amount they each have before they started. Therefore, we have:

Amount with Bill after one hour = x + $20

Amount with Sam after one hour = x - $20

Amount with Bill after two hours = (x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)

Amount with Sam after two hours = (x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)) ............... (1)

From equation (1), we can solve for x as follows:

(x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3))

(x - $20) + (x - $20)0.666666666666667= 4((x + $20) - (x + $20) 0.666666666666667)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4(x + $20 - 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4x + $80 - 2.66666666666667x - $ 53.3333333333332

Collecting the like terms, we have:

x + 0.666666666666667x - 4x + 2.66666666666667x = $80 - $53.3333333333332+ $20 + $13.3333333333333

(1 + 0.666666666666667- 4 + 2.66666666666667)x = $60

0.333333333333337x = $60

x = $60 / 0.333333333333337

x = $180

Therefore, they each have $180 before they started.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$15.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose 1 rose bush costs r dollars,

Suppose 1 geranium costs g dollars.

Here are 2 equations:

1)6r+14g=146

3r+7g=73

2)r+7g=57

r=57-7g

Put 2) in 1)

3(57-7g)+7g=73

171-21g+7g=73

98=14g

g=7

r=8

7+8=$15.00

Hope I helped!

The vertices of the image of GHJK after a translation are given. Choose the vector that describes the translation.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a vertex G of quadrilateral GHJK to understand the rule for the translation,

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of G → (-5, 5)

Coordinates of the image point G' after the translation → G'(-5, 5)

Let the point G is translated 'a' units to the right and 'b' units down,

Rule for this translation,

G(x, y) → G'(x + a, y - a)

By this rule,

G(-5, 5) → G'(-5 + a, 5 - a)

-5 + a = -5 ⇒ a = 0

5 - a = 5 ⇒ a = 0

Therefore, vector that defines the translation will be,

<0, 0>

Option B is the the correct option.
