The answer to the problem is 17
You will end up with 8 bc if you cut it in half it is dividing so you would do 4×2 and the answer is 8
Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left

Answer:
- 14/9
- -3.6
- 5/4
- 11/2, 7/8, 5/18
Step-by-step explanation:
1. n = (11/6 -2/3)(4/3) = (7/6)(4/3) = 14/9
__
2. x = (9.82 -28.18)/5.1 = -3.6
__
3. y = 3/2 -1/4 = 5/4
__
4a. t = 2(3 -1/4) = 11/2
4b. y = (1/5 +1/2)(5/4) = ((2+5)/10)(5/4) = 7/8
4c. x = (11/3 -2)/6 = (5/3)(1/6) = 5/18
