Short Answer: Tony 40 Cleo 30
Givens
T = Tony
C = Cleo
Equations
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30 (1)
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31 (2)
Adjustments
Multiply (1) by 3
Multiply (2) by 2
New Equations
3/2 T + C = 90 (1a)
<u>4/5 T + C = 62</u> (2a) Subtract (2a) from (1a)
(3/2 - 4/5)T = 28 the common multiple of 2 and 5 = 10.
(15/10 - 8/10)T = 28
7/10 T = 28 Multiply by 10
7T = 28*10
7T = 280 Divide by 7
T = 280/7 = 40
Put T = 40 into (1)
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30
1/2 (40) + 1/3 C = 30
20 + 1/3 C = 30 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/3 C = 30 - 20
1/3 C = 10 Multiply through by 3
C = 10 * 3
C = 30
Answer:
Cleo has 30 books.
Tony has 40 books.
Check
<em>Use Equation 2</em>
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31
2/5*40 + 1/2 * 30 = ? 31
16 + 15 =?3`
31 = 31 They are equal.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What
I got 180 because (although the picture is smaller and digital meaning I may be off) angle AOD = 85 degrees while angle BOC = 95. 95 + 85 = 180.
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, the first thing to do is get that 8 away from the fraction. How can we do it? When you have 2³ you have 8, is the same thing, so let's do it:
2³⁰/(2³)⁹ = 2^x
When you have a number with the shape (a^x)^y, you can write it as a^(x•y), so:
(2³)⁹ = 2^3•9 = 2²⁷
Now we have:
2³⁰/2²⁷ = 2^x
When you have a division like this: (a^x)/(a^y), you can write it as a^(x-y), so:
2^(30-27) = 2^x
2^-3 = 2^x
Now you know that x = -3
The answer is 650 have a nice day
