T= total
<span>Money spent is: </span>
48+ 1/3 (T-48) = 1/2 T
One equation for one unknown, solve:

48 + 1/3 T -1/3*48= 1/2 T
48 - 16 =1/2 T- 1/3 T
32= 1/6 T
T= 6*32
<span>T=192

</span>192-48=144 money left after watch
1/3*144=48 third of leftover, spent on pen
<span>144-48=96 left which is half of 192. </span>

Answer:

Gary had $192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gray has the money = $x

Gray spent on a watch = $48

Remainder money = $(x - 48)

He spent one third of the remainder on a pen.

Money spent on a pen = \frac{1}{3}(x - 48)

This remainder money is the half of x then the total money spent

\frac{x}{2}=48+\frac{1}{3}(x - 48)

\frac{x}{2}=48+\frac{x}{3}-\frac{48}{3}

\frac{x}{2}=\frac{x}{3}+32

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x}{3}=32

\frac{3x-2x}{6}=32

\frac{x}{6}=32

x = 6×32

x = 192

Money left after spending on watch = 192 - 48 = $144

Money spent on a pen = \frac{144}{3} = $48

Money left = 144 - 48

                 = $96

This amount is half of the total money = \frac{192}{2}

                                                               = $96

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line -3x + y/2 = -3 passes through the points (1, 0) and (0, -6).

First rearrange the equation

-3x + y/2 = -3

Y = 2( 3x - 3 )

Y = 6x - 6 ..... (1)

Also, the slope of points (1, 0) and (0, -6). Will be

M = ( -6 - 0 )/( 0 - 1 )

M = -6/-1

M = 6

Using general linear equation

Y = MX + C

Let Y = 0 and X = 1

0 = 6(1) + C

C = -6

Substitutes C back into the equation

Y = 6x - 6 ...... (2)

The value of b that will cause the system to have infinitely many number of solutions is 6

hammer [34]
A.) 50.45m + 60 = 57.95m

b.) 50.45m + 60 = 57.95m
     60 = 57.95m - 50.45m
     60 = 7.50m
     60 / 7.50 = m
     8 = m.....so the cost will be the same at 8 months

Zach walked his dog for 7/8 hour. They spent 1/2 of the time at the beach. How much time did Zach and his dog spend at the beach
Tresset [83]

Answer: \frac{7}{16}hour

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the total time was: 7/8 hour

You also know that they spent 1/2 of the time at the beach.

Therefore, to calculate the time  Zach and his dog spend at the beach (which you can call x) , you must multiply both fractions (7/8 and 1/2).

Then, you obtain the following result:

x=\frac{7}{8}hour*\frac{1}{2}\\\\x=\frac{7}{16}hour
