Answer:
The amounts of money each has are:
Joe = $92
Charlie = $29
Leila = $23
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will convert the statements into an equation, and use that to solve for the unknowns, as follows:
total amount = $144
Let Leila's share be S
Joe's share = 4 times Leila's = 4S
Charlie's share = $6 + Leila's share = 6 + S
Joe's share + Charlie's Share + Leila's Share = $144
4S + (6 + S) + S = 144
4S + 6 + S + S = 144
4S + 2S + 6 = 144
6S + 6 = 144
6S = 144 - 6 = 138
S = 138 ÷ 6 = $23
Therefore Leila's share 'S' = $23
Joe share= 4S = 4 × 23 = $92
Charlie's share = 6 + 23 = $29
Let n = length
let n-4 = width since it is 4 meters shorter
2( n+n-4) =72 Two of the length and width added together equal the perimeter
combine like terms
2(2n -4) = 72 Now use the distributive law on the left side of the equation
4n -8 = 72 Now add 8 to both sides
4n -8 +8 = 72 +8
4n = 80 Finally divide each side by 4
n=20
so the length is 20 and the width is 4 less or 16.
Let's see if our answer works.
20 + 16 + 20 +16 =? 72
72 =72 yes, it does. Length = 20 Width = 16
I believe the answer would be DE is parallel to line segment FG
