I believe the answer would be 30.76
(25-y) ^2-y^2=25
y=12
x=25-12
x=13
(13,12)
Answer:
2744 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.
We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be
.
We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be
.
Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be
.
We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to
and solve for x as shown below:
Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
31 = -4v - 5
31 (+5) = -4v -5 (+5)
36 = -4v
36/(-4) = -4v/(-4)
36/ -4 = v
v = -9 is your answer
hope this helps
I got you, the answer would be x=5
