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

Ok so this is conic sectuion
first group x's with x's and y's with y's
then complete the squra with x's and y's


2x^2-8x+2y^2+10y+2=0
2(x^2-4x)+2(y^2+5y)+2=0
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
5/2=2.5, 2.5^2=6.25
add that and negative inside

2(x^2-4x+4-4)+2(y^2+5y+6.25-6.25)+2=0
factor perfect squares
2((x-2)^2-4)+2((y+2.5)^2-6.25)+2=0
distribute
2(x-2)^2-8+2(y+2.5)^2-12.5+2=0
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2-18.5=0
add 18.5 both sides
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2=18.5
divide both sides by 2
(x-2)^2+(y+2.5)^2=9.25

that is a circle center (2,-2.5) with radius √9.25

X/14=40/70 Solve the proportion for x.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{14}  =  \frac{40}{70}  \\ x =  \frac{40}{70}  \times 14 \\ x =  \frac{40}{10}  \times 2 \\ x = 4 \times 2 \\ x  = 8
