Answer:

mass of empty basket: 1.21 kg

Explanation:

the mass of basket is constant. Let the mass of basket be "b" and mass of each balls be "m"

Make equations:

  • b + 3(m) = 3.64  ___ equation 1
  • b + 5(m) = 5.26  ___ equation 2

<u>solve them simultaneously,</u>

  • 3.64 - 3(m) = 5.26 - 5(m)
  • -3(m) + 5(m) = 5.26 - 3.64
  • 2(m) = 1.62
  • m = 0.81 kg

<u>mass of basket,</u>

  • b = 3.64 - 3(m)
  • 3.64 - 3(0.81 )
  • 1.21 kg

  1. Bucket be x
  2. balls be y

Now

  • x+3y=3.64=>x=3.64-3y--(1)
  • x+5y=5.26=>x=5.26-5y

So

  • 3.64-3y=5.26-5y
  • -3y+5y=5.26-3.64
  • 2y=1.62
  • y=0.81kg

So

  • x=3.64-3(0.81)=3.64-2.43=1.21kg

Brita has a monthly budget of x dollars. She spends $1,425 on her mortgage every month. One-third of her remaining budget is spe
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$(x - 1425)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total monthly budget be x

Amount spent on mortgage = $1425

Remaining balance after spending on mortgage = x - $1425

Amount spent on recreational activities = one-third of the balance

Expressing amount spent on recreational activities as an equation will give;

Amount spent on recreational activities = 1/3 of x - $1425

= 1/3 × ( x - $1425)

= ( x - $1425)/3

Hence the required equation is;

R = $(x - 1425)/3

R means recreational activities
