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!! :)

A stick 111 inches long is broken into two pieces, so that one piece is twice as long as the other. How long are the two pieces?
Makovka662 [10]
Let’s say that the other one is described as X. So if one piece is twice as long as the other one, it’ll be 2x.

2x + X =111
3x = 111
3x divided by 3= 111 divided by 3
X= 37

So 2x = 2(37) = 74
X = 37

74
+ 37

After solving the equation x^2+ 9 = 6x, Donna stated that the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra is true for this equation. However,
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that the number of complex roots a polyomial has is equal to its highest exponent.  This is a squared polynomial; second degree; quadratic.  When it is factored, no matter what types of numbers you get as the solution, you will ALWAYS have 2 of them.  When this quadratic is factored, we get that x = 3 and x = 3.  That means that this is a quadratic that touches the x-axis at (3, 0).  It doesn't go through, it only touches.  We do have 2 roots, but since they're the same, we say we have a multiplicity 2 of that root.  The closest you'll come to that in your choices is A.  Apparently your text refers to multiplicity 2 as a double root.
