Leni [432]3 years ago

Answer:

David gets £34, Egil gets £119 and Frances gets £153.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money David gets be 2x, Egil be 7x and Frances be 9x.

7x = 2x + 85

7x - 2x = 85

5x = 85

x = 85 ÷ 5

x = 17

David (2x) = 2 × £17

                 = £34

Egil (7x) = 7 × £17

             = £119

Frances (9x) = 9 × £17

                     = £153

21. Write the equation of the line that is
vekshin1

When a line is given in the form

y=mx+q

The slope of the line is m. So, in this case, the slope of y=-x-11 is -1.

Given a slope m, you find the slope of a perpendicular line m' by imposing

m\cdot m' = -1

So, if the given line has slope -1, a perpendicular line has slope m' given by

-1 \cdot m' = -1

and thus m'=1

So, we want a line with slope 1 and passing through (9,2). Using the fomula

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

we get

y-2=1(x-9) \iff y-2=x-9 \iff y=x-7

What completes this expression to make it a perfect square trinomial? x2 + 4x + ___ A 2 B 4 C 8 D 16
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Option B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is x² + 4x + -----

We have to find a number which can be added in the expression to make it a perfect square trinomial.

x² + 2(2x) + 2²

= (x + 2)²

Therefore, if we add 4 in the given expression it becomes a perfect trinomial.

Option B is the correct option.

Two friends go to the store because mangoes and apples are on sale. One friend buys 4 mangoes and 7 apples, spending $14.89. The
My name is Ann [436]
4m + 7a = 14.89
8m + 3a = 18.89

Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 7

12m + 21a = 44.67
56m + 21a = 132.23

Then subtract the equations and get:

44m=87.56
m=1.99
mangoes cost = $1.99<em>

</em>To find the price of apples, substitute with the mangoes on one equation

4(1.99) + 7a = 14.89
7.96 +7a = 14.89
7a = 6.93
a = 0.99

apples cost = $0.99

.....hope this helps///:)::))):))
