Answer:

Rj = $138

Shawn = $143

Riley = $133

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Notes</u>

We can set up an equation to solve

-> x will be equal to Rj

-> For Riley, Shawn has 5 more than Rj (x + 5) and Riley has 10 less. 5 - 10 = -5

<u>Solving for x</u>

[equation] (x) + (x + 5) + (x - 5) = 414

[combine like terms] 3x = 414

[divide both sides by 3] x = 138

<u>Solving for how much each person has</u>

Rj = $138

Shawn = $138 + 5 = $143

Riley = $138 - 5 = $133

<u>Checking work</u>

$138 + $143 + $133 = $414 ✔

Have a nice day!

Answer:

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the amount of money Rj has x, so Shawn would have 5+x dollars, and Riley would have (5+x)-10 dollars. Altogether they have 414 dollars, so you can create an equation.

x+(5+x)+((5+x)-10)=414\\3x+0=414\\3x=414\\x=138

Now that we know that x=138, we can substitute x into each equation.

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.

A basket contains 3/8 as many oranges as apples and three over four as many oranges as pairs what is the ratio of the number of
Gennadij [26K]
# of apples

3/8(a)=# of oranges

p=# of pears

3/4(p)=# of oranges

(3/8)a=(3/4)p

(3/8)/(3/4)=p/a

(3/8)(6/8)=p/a

3/6=p/a

1/2=p/a

the ratios of pears to apples is 1 to 2

for every 1 pear there are 2 apples

if there are 4 pears there are 8 apples

there are 8 apples

(3/8)(8)=3 oranges

there are 4 pears

(3/4)(4)=3 oranges again

8 apples, 3 oranges, 4 pears

15 pieces of fruit and 3 are oranges

ratio is 3/15=1/5
