Adam and Tom share a sum of money in the ratio 18:17

Mathematics

Digiron [165]2 years ago
5 0

x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.

since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

\stackrel{Adam~received}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that Adam got "5" more}}{ \stackrel{Adam}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{Tom}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}~~ + ~~5} }\qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{18x}{35}~~ + ~~\cfrac{17x}{35}+5

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{35}}{35\left( \cfrac{18x}{35} \right)~~ = ~~35\left( \cfrac{17x}{35}+5 \right)}\implies 18x~~ = ~~17x+175\implies \boxed{x =175} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\implies \cfrac{17(175)}{35}\implies \blacktriangleright 85 \blacktriangleleft

He solution is n = –2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2. What is the last line of the justification?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-0.8=-0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that n=-2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n+2=2n+3.2.

As n=-2 is the solution for our given equation, so it will satisfy our equation.

Let us substitute n=-2 is our given equation.

1.4*-2+2=2*-2+3.2

-2.8+2=-4+3.2

-0.8=-0.8

Since the value of n satisfies our equation, therefore, last line of the justification will be -0.8=-0.8.

Complete the table of values for y=2xsquared+x
hodyreva [135]

The solution of y= 2x^{2} +x given as:

x:   0      1       2       3

y:   0      3      10      21

<h3>What is Linear Equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b. involving only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given function is:

y= 2x^{2} +x

For finding the solution of above expression, take value of x and solve for y.

  • If x=0

y= 2(0)+0

y=0

  • If x=1,

y= 2(1)^{2} +1= 3

  • If x=2

y=2(2)^{2} +2=10

  • If x=3

y= 2(3)^{2} +3=21

The required table is:

x:   0      1       2       3

y:   0      3      10      21
