Using a system of equations, it is found that initially Ada has $0.385.

For the system, we have that the variables are:

  • x is Ada's amount.
  • y is Betty's amount.
  • z is Chris's amount.
  • w is David's amount.

$45 total, hence:

x + y + z + w = 45

Ada <u>gets 2 from Betty</u>, hence:

x + 2 = y - 2

x = y - 4

y = x + 4

<u>Chris triples</u> his money and <u>David's</u> money is <u>cut by half</u> four of them have the same amount, hence:

x + 4 = y = 3z = \frac{w}{2}

Then:

3z = x + 4

z = \frac{x + 4}{3}

x + 4 = \frac{w}{2}

w = 2x + 8

Solving for w, we find Ada's initial amount.

x + y + z + w = 45

x + x + 4 + \frac{x + 4}{3} + 2x + 8 = 45

4x + 12 + \frac{x + 4}{3} = 45

12x + 36 + x + 4 = 45

13x = 5

x = \frac{5}{13}

x = 0.385

Initially, Ada has $0.385.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 = 55° ( vertically opposite angles )

<4 = 180 - 105 = 75° ( linear pair )

<5 = 180 - ( 55 + 75 ) ( angle sum property of a triangle )

    = 180 - 130

    = 50°

<1 = <2 ( angles opposite to equal sides )

let < 1 and < 2 be x

55 + 2x = 180 ( angle sum property of a triangle )

2x = 180 - 55

2x = 125

x = 125 / 2

x = 62.5

therefore, < 1 = <2 = 62.5°

Hope this helps

What type of number has a decimal that does not repeat or end?
galina1969 [7]
A number that has a decimal that does not repeat or end in an irrational number.  The decimal goes on forever, without a pattern.  Think of it as it is irrational to keep going on and on and on.   Irrational numbers also cannot be put into fractions.
-5 is an integer, it is a whole (positive or negative without a decimal/fraction) number.  An integer can be any whole number as long as it is a whole number and does not have a decimal.<span />
