Ratio in which Mr.Jeff divided his money between Jack and Jon = 4:2
Let us assume the common ration to be = x
The amount of money that Jon got = $1256
Then
2x = 1256
x = 1256/2
= 628
Then
The amount of money that Jon got = 4 * 628 dollars
= 2512 dollars
So the amount that Jack got is $2512. As Jack got the major or the bigger share of the money, so the answer is correct. I hope the procedure for solving the question is also easy for you to understand.
Answer:
x = -1
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
To get y by itself:
3x - y = -1
-y = -1 - 3x
y = 1 + 3x
Solve for x with substitution:
2x = 4(1 + 3x) + 6
2x = 4 + 12x + 6
2x = 10 + 12x
-10x = 10
x = -1
Plug the x value into 3x - y = -1
3(-1) - y = -1
-3 - y = -1
-y = 2
y = -2
Apples are $0.68 and peaches are $0.42.
To find these values, we need to write and solve the following system of equations.
6x + 9y = 7.86
4x + 5y = 4.82
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3.
12x + 18y = 15.72
-12x - 15y = 14.46
Add the equations together.
3y = 1.26
y = 0.42
Sub in 0.72 and solve for x in either equation and you will get x = 0.68.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
step 2. perpendicular to m = 1/3 is the slope m = -3/1 or m = -3
step 3. a line through (3, 2) with m = -3 is y - 2 = -3(x - 3)
step 4. y - 2 = -3x + 9
step 5. y = -3x + 11.
Hope this helps but try to do process of elimination.
