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!! :)

Anna35 [415]

Answer:leading Question

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading Question is the type of question that implicitly encourages a respondent to answer in a particular way. Leading questions are generally inappropriate as they lead to false and slanted information.

for example: If you ask an employee that "Do you have any Problem with your boss?"

This questions explicitly encourages the employee to think that there are Problems.

Another example is that  

"How fast is truck moving when it crashed into the car?"

This question directly blames the truck that it is at fault.

Similarly, the above question indicates that all Americans must possess cell phones

A linear model is used to determine the amount owed on a loan of $5,000 with simple interest of 4.25%. The model is A = 5000 + 5
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The question is asking us to use the model to find how long it would take for the loan amount to reach 7,000

In order to answer this, we need to make 7,000 equal to the equation:

7000=5000+5000(0.0425t)

Subtract 5000 from both sides

2000=5000(0.0425t)

Now we simplify the RHS

2000 = 212.5t

Now you divide both sides by 212.5 to get t by itself

t=9.41

So it would take 9.4 months for the loan amount to reach 7000

KengaRu [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

3d + 5p=9.50

2d + 5p=8

1 hot dog cost $1.50

2 × 1.50 + 5p = 8

3 + 5p = 8

5p = 8 - 3

5p = 5

p = 1

1 bag of potato chips cost $1.00
