So, Anna has a markers, Ben has b markers and Cindy has c markers.
We know that a+b+c = m.
And we know also that a = 2b. (<span> twice as many markers as ben has</span>)
(Remember b is the number of Ben markers.)
The equation becomes:
2b+b+c=m.
Solving for c:
Cindy has (m-3b) markers.
Step-by-step explanation:
45 = 15 - 3
45 = 12
45 - 12
= 33
Answer:
<h2>x = 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look a t the picture.
The triangles on the picture are similar.
Therefore the sides are in proportion:
<em>cross multiply</em>

<em>divide both sides by 40</em>

Let the length be l
Then,
l *(l-3)= 88
l²-3l =88
l²-3l-88=0
l²-11l +8l -88 =0
l(l-11) + 8(l-11) =0
(l+8)(l-11)=0
As, l can't be negative, length=11cm and width=(l-3)=11-3 =8 cm
First you should subtract the first numbers. 82-33=49
Next, you need to subtract 49- the product, which is 49-35=14
Finally, check your work. 82-14-33=35
I think this is what you mean, at least?
