Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
What does the base of the grassy area look like?
Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:
Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and M + B = 29 (Given) OR B = 29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):
29 -M = 2.M -10
29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6
Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old
The circle area can be defined as x2 + y2 < 3.46^2.
For point M, x2 + y2 = 13.
Since 3.46^2 is about 12, point M is outside the circle!
