Amelia and elliott are collecting empty soda cans for recycling. amelia has 13 less than 5 times the cans that elliott has. together, they have 257 cans. how many cans does each one have?

ANSWER

Find out the  how many cans does each one have.

To proof

As given

Amelia and Elliott are collecting empty soda cans for recycling

Amelia has 13 less than 5 times the cans that Elliott has.

let us assume that the  Elliott has can be =x

Amelia can = 5x -13

Total can = 257 cans

than the equation becomes

x + 5x - 13 = 257

6x = 257 +13

6x = 270

x = 45

Elliott has can be = 45cans

Amelia can = 5 × 45 - 13

                   =  212cans

Hence proved

x = 23.78

step-by-step explanation:

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
