Together Sarah and lance have $60. If lance has six more than twice as much as Sarah, how much does each have?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Sarah has $18, and Lance has $42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Sarah and Lance together have $60, so we can write the equation:

S + L = 60

We also know that Lance has six more than twice as much as Sarah, which can be expressed as:

L = 2S + 6

Now, we have a system of two equations:

S + L = 60

L = 2S + 6

We can use substitution or elimination to solve this system. Let's use substitution:

From equation 2, we can express L in terms of S:

L = 2S + 6

Now, substitute this expression for L into equation 1:

S + (2S + 6) = 60

Combine like terms:

3S + 6 = 60

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3S = 60 - 6

3S = 54

Now, divide by 3:

S = 54 / 3

S = 18

So, Sarah has $18.

Now, we can find Lance's amount using equation 2:

L = 2S + 6

L = 2(18) + 6

L = 36 + 6

L = 42

Lance has $42.

Answers

Answer with explanation:

A regular polygon is simple closed geometrical shape, only made up of line segments.

And Regular Tessellation, is geometrical shape, made up of regular polygons having, 3 ,or 4 or 6 sides.

It is combination of, only single kind of polygon,either, polygon having 3 sides, or ,4 sides or 6 sides.

→Regular polygon having 3 sides is Called Equilateral Triangle.

→Regular polygon having 4 sides is Called Square.

→Regular polygon having 6 sides is Called Regular Hexagon.

⇒Regular polygon having , 8 sides will not form a regular tessellation.

Step-by-step explanation:

the browns boarded a train at 3.55pm. to go home from the fair. it tookthem 25minutes to get to the station from the fair . they spent 1 hour and 15 minutes at the fair. what time did they arrive at the fair

Answers

Just add 25 minutes. That's because they boarded at 3:55 and took 25 minutes to just go to the fair. So in 25 more minutes they got to the fair! so it would be 4:20 when they got to the fair.
Do:

3.55 - 0.25 - 1.15 = 2.15 hs

They arrived at fair the 2.15 hs

Which equation is true for any value of y?A. 4y^2+2=(4y*4y)+2
B. 4y^2+2=(4y+y)+2
C. 4y^2+2=4(y+y)+2
D.4y^2+2= 4(y×y)+2

Answers

I'm 80% sure. 
The Answer is: B

Because if I plugged all "y" with a the same number in the same postion they would equal the same.

For EX: 4*3+2+2=(4*3+2)+2

Answers

A. discriminant = 52;
B. 2, because 52 > 0
C. - discrminant / 4a = -52 / -12 = 6 > 0 =>  the vertex of the graph of the equation lie above the x-axis.

Which is the better buy on hamburger meat?2 lbs. for $4.50
3 lbs. for $6.90
Click on the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

2 lbs. for $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Do a ratio

2 : 4.50

You want to see how much it cost per pound, so divide them by 2

2 ÷ 2 : 4.50 ÷ 2

1 : 2.25

So per pound, the hamburger will cost $ 2.25

________________________________________________________

3 : 6.90

You want to see how much it cost per pound, so all you need to do is divide them by 3

3 ÷ 3 : 6.90 ÷ 3

1 : 2.3

So for the first one, it cost 2.25 per pound, and for the second one, it cost 2.3 per pound....the one that is better will be 2.25 because it cost 5 cents less than the second one
