Answer:

£30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Brian initially had money in his wallet = £x

and Colin had the money = £y

Since ratio of money in Brian's wallet to Colin's wallet was 5 : 1

Therefore,

⇒ x = 5y -------(1)

Brian spent £27 that day, so money left with him = £(x - 27)

After spending the money Brian had £3 less than Colin.

(x - 27) = (y - 3)

x = y + 27 - 3

x = y + 24 -------(2)

Now we equate the equations (1) and (2) for the value of x,

5y = y + 24

5y - y = 24

4y = 24

y = £6

From equation (2),

x = 6 + 24

x = £30

Therefore, Brian initially had £30.

i hope this helps

What is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 3) and is parallel to 2x + 3y = 6?

sergeinik [125]

If they are parallel then the coefficients of x and y will remain the same. Only the constant will change.

2x + 3y = ?
2(-2) +3(3) = -4 + 9 = 5 so ? is 5

ANSWER: 2x + 3y = 5

Please help ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

x = 3.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side, "x", solve using proportions.

In similar polygons, the 'new' polygon was created by multiplying every side of the 'old' polygon by the same number. Every side was multiply by the <u>scale factor</u>, "k", which tells you how much a polygon grew (k>1) or shrunk (0<k<1).

Therefore, if you divided the pairs of corresponding sides, they would be equal.

From the diagram, you can tell that the following sides correspond:

CB ~ GF

AB ~ EF

<u>Use the proportion</u>

$\frac{EF}{AB} = \frac{GF}{CB}$

$\frac{x}{6ft} = \frac{3.3ft}{5ft}$ Substitute values from diagram

$6ft*\frac{x}{6ft} = 6ft*\frac{3.3ft}{5ft}$ Multiply both sides by 6 ft

$x = \frac{6ft*3.3ft}{5ft}$ "x" is isolated. Multiply fraction by combining into numerator

$x = \frac{19.8ft}{5ft}$ Solved numerator. Divide for decimal answer.

$x = 3.76ft$

The value of 'x' is 3.76 ft.

Here are 100 seats on an airplane, and each of 100 passengers has a ticket for a different seat. The passengers line up to board

Kryger [21]

Answer:

There are 1% probability that the last person gets to sit in their assigned seat

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the last person gets to sit in their assigned seat, is the same that the probability that not one sit in this seat.

If we use the Combinatorics theory, we know that are 100! possibilities to order the first 99 passenger in the 100 seats.

LIke we one the probability that not one sit in one of the seats, we need the fraction from the total number of possible combinations, of combination that exclude the assigned seat of the last passenger. In other words the amount of combination of 99 passengers in 99 seats: 99!

Now this number of combination of the 99 passenger in the 99 sets, divide for the total number of combination in the 100 setas, is the probability that not one sit in the assigned seat of the last passenger.

P = 99!/100! = 99!/ (100 * 99!) = 1/100

There are 1% probability that the last person gets to sit in their assigned seat
