Answer:
23 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children = 10
Number of marbles = 180
Since Betsy gets the most and no 2 children gets the same number of marbles
The least number of marbles Betsy could get will be x ; with the other 9 children receiving 1 less each
That is :
Betsy = x
9th child = x - 1
8th child = x - 2,... 1st child = x - 9
Hence,
(x + x - 1 + x - 2 + x - 3 + x - 4 + x - 5 + x - 6 + x - 7 + x - 8 + x - 9) = 180
10x - 45 = 180
10x = 180 + 45
x = 225 / 10
x = 22.5
x = 23
Hence, the least Betsy could get is 23 marbles
Corresponding sides in the triangles MOP and MNQ are
MO and MN,
OP and NQ,
PM and QM.
Ratios of the corresponding sides for similar triangles should be the same.
MQ/MP =MN/MO
MQ/(MQ+QP) = MN/(MN+NO)
5/(5+x) = 6/(6+18/5)
5*(6+18/5)=6(5+x)
30+18 = 30 +6x
18=6x
x=3 =QP
2x^3(x+7)(x-7)
Thats the answer for your question!
Answer:
x = 83/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
12x + 8 + 84 = 15х +9
Solving for x:
8 + 84 - 9 = 15x - 12x
83 = 3x
x = 83/3.
