Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
It is 21 since 21 = 3 * 7.
The other 3 numbers are prime.
There would be 1/12 of the cake left.
Megan:
x to the one third power =

<span>x to the one twelfth power = </span>

<span>The quantity of x to the one third power, over x to the one twelfth power is:
</span>

<span>
Since </span>

then

Now, just subtract exponents:
1/3 - 1/12 = 4/12 - 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4

Julie:
x times x to the second times x to the fifth = x * x² * x⁵
<span>The thirty second root of the quantity of x times x to the second times x to the fifth is
</span>
![\sqrt[32]{x* x^{2} * x^{5} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B32%5D%7Bx%2A%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2A%20x%5E%7B5%7D%20%7D%20)
<span>
Since </span>

Then
![\sqrt[32]{x* x^{2} * x^{5} }= \sqrt[32]{ x^{1+2+5} } =\sqrt[32]{ x^{8} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B32%5D%7Bx%2A%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2A%20x%5E%7B5%7D%20%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B32%5D%7B%20x%5E%7B1%2B2%2B5%7D%20%7D%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B32%5D%7B%20x%5E%7B8%7D%20%7D)
Since
![\sqrt[n]{x^{m}} = x^{m/n} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5E%7Bm%7D%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%20%7D%20)
Then
![\sqrt[32]{ x^{8} }= x^{8/32} = x^{1/4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B32%5D%7B%20x%5E%7B8%7D%20%7D%3D%20x%5E%7B8%2F32%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7B1%2F4%7D%20)
Since both Megan and Julie got the same result, it can be concluded that their expressions are equivalent.
Answer:
42/49 is the fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
you can't simplify so put the amount correct over the amount total.
