Answer: The price for the computer = $1152
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first boy = F
Let the second boy = S
Let the price of computer = C
The second boy had 5/ 6 of the money the first had. I.e
S = 5/6 F
Then F = 6/5S ......(1)
The first boy had 7 /8 of the price of the computer. That is
F = 7/8C ....... (2)
Substitute F in (1) into (2)
6/5S = 7/8C
S = 5/6 × 7/8C
S = 35/48C ......(3)
Together they had $696.00 more than they need to pay. That is
F + S = C + 696 ........ (4)
Substitute equation 2 and 3 into 4
7/8C + 35/48C = C + 696
0.875C + 0.729C = C + 696
0.604C = 696
C = 696/0.604
C = 1152 dollars
Therefore, the price for the computer = $1152
Lola is incorrect because the width is half of the length as stated before.
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
|-2x-10| + 4 = 2
Subtract 4 from each side
|-2x-10| + 4-4 = 2-4
|-2x-10| = -2
The absolute value is negative so there are no solutions.
Absolute values are always positive, so they cannot be negative.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Given: </em></u>
Distance = S = 18 km
Time = t = 20 min = 20/60 = 0.33 hours
<u><em>Required:</em></u>
Average Speed = <v> = ?
<em><u>Formula:</u></em>
Average Speed = Total Distance Covered / Total Time Taken
<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
A . S = 18 / 0.33
A.S = 54 km/hr
