Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the parallelogram theorem
3x-8 = 10x+13
-7x = 21
x = -3
Substitute
3(-3) - 8
-17
10(-3) + 13
-17
To determine the number of tickets that Ric sold, subtract from the total tickets sold the sum of the number of tickets sold by Alex and Ian. This is mathematically shown as,
tickets (Ric) = tickets (total) - (tickets (Alex) + tickets (Ian))
tickets (Ric) = 48 - (11 + 18) = 19
Hence, Ric sold 19 tickets for the fundraising.
