The first one is the answer to the question
Answer:
There is no x in this equation
There are three unknowns in this problem. First, let's assign variables for these unknowns.
Let
x be the amount received by the first friend
y be the amount received by the second friend
z be the amount received by the third friend
Next, we formulate equations for the relationships
x = 4z
z = 4y
x + y + z = <span>$231,000
Solving simultaneously,
4(4y) + y + 4y = </span><span>$231,000
21y = </span><span>$231,000
y = $11,000
z = 4($11,000) = $44,000
x = 4($44,000) = $176,000</span>
Formula: A=(pi)r^2
Substitution: A=3.14(7^2)
A=3.14(49)
Solve: A=153.86 in^2
*I personally like to use the pi sign on my calculator to multiply the radius squared by, but my keyboard did not have a pi sign. Usually, the pi sign is more exact. If you used the pi sign, your answer would be 153.94 inches^2. Hope this helps!
