Answer:

They got $91 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

I did some trial and error and when I reached 65 dollars for Gavin I realized that Jim would be $29. So 65 - 29 = $39. Btw substitute $ for £

Answer: £91

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of money Jim gets

Let x + 39 be the amount of money Gavin gets

<u>Given information</u>

Ratio = 5 : 2 (Gavin to Jim)

Jim = x

Gavin = x + 39

<u>Set up proportion</u>

5 / 2 = (x + 39) / x

<u>Cross multiply to reduce fraction form</u>

5x = 2 (x + 39)

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>

5x = 2 · x + 2 · 39

5x = 2x + 78

<u>Subtract 2x on both sides</u>

5x - 2x = 2x + 78 - 2x

3x = 78

<u>Divide 3 on both sides</u>

3x / 3 = 78 / 3

x = 26

<u>Find the amount of money they get altogether</u>

Gavin + Jim

=x + 39 + x

=(26) + 39 + (26)

=65 + 26

=\boxed{91}

Hope this helps!! :)

Between 02 30 and 05 30,the same day,the volume of water in a reservoir increased from 6000 L to 18 000 L.What was the average r
irinina [24]

Answer:

4,000 L/h

Step-by-step explanation:

First we'll find the amount of the change.

18,000 - 6,000 = 12,000 L

The time of the volume change was 3 hours: 0230 - 0530

Since we're looking for liters per hour, we will divide the liters (12,000) by the hours (3)

12,000/3 = 4,000 L/h

Write the equation for the line in slope intercept form ​
Helen [10]

Answer:

  y = -2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at -3, so that is the y-intercept.

It has a "rise" of -2 units for each "run" of 1 unit, so the slope is -2. (For example, from point (-1, -1) to point (0, -3).)

The slope m and y-intercept b are used in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

   y = mx + b

For the values this line has, the equation is ...

   y = -2x -3
