How can $500 be divided between four people so that each person gets $20 more than the person before.

Mathematics

Answer:

$95, $115, $135, $155

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first person gets x dollars:

the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars

the next person gets x + 40 dollars

and the last person gets x + 60 dollars

We add all these allocations together, and we get $500

x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500

Combine like terms

4x + 120 = 500

Subtract 120 on both sides

4x = 380

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 95

So the first person gets $95.

The second person must get $115

The third must get $135

And the fourth must get $155

Checking our work:

95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500

Write an absolute value inequality for each of the following. Then graph the
n200080 [17]

An absolute value inequality for "all numbers less than 7 and greater than -7" is given by |x| < 7.

<h3>How to write an absolute value inequality?</h3>

Based on the information provided, we can logically deduce that the statement describes an intersection of set because the word "and" was used.

This ultimately implies that, we would use the less than (<) symbol to write an absolute value inequality for the given statement:

|x| < 7

Therefore, this can be translated as follows:

-7 < x < 7      or      x < 7  and    x > -7.

When the product of 6 and the square of a number is increased by 5 times the number, the result is 4.
il63 [147K]

Let x be the unknown number. Its square is x^2. The product of 6 and the square of the number is 6x^2. Increase this by 5 and you get 6x^2+5.

If this has to equal 4, you have 6x^2+5=4
