The winner got $70,000 and the runner up got $14,000

Let the winner be represented by x and runner up by y

Data given;

  • Amount to be shared = $84000
  • x = 5y

This is a simple case of ratio i.e 1 : 5

<h3>Equation</h3>

x = 5y\\84000 = 5y + y\\84000 = 6y\\y = 14000\\

The runner up received $14000. let's use this data to find how much the winner got.

x = 5y \\x = 5 * 14000\\x = 70000

From the calculations above, the winner got $70,000 and the runner up got $14,000.

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 2(m + 2) = 22. Describe what it means to distribute the 2 to each term insid
Mumz [18]

Answer:

m = 9  

It means that you are multiplying each of the values inside the parentheses by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(m + 2) = 22

2m + 4 = 22

2m + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4

2m = 18                           -Divide both sides by 2

m = 9
