Brainliest given need asap russell, sarah, and terry share money in the ratio 2: 5: 8. if sarah gets an extra £120, she will have the same as terry. work out how much each gets.

Russel: £80

Sarah: £200

Terry: £320

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rewrite the ratio of 2:5:8 as 2x, 5x, and 8x

Now, it is stated that if Sarah gets an extra £120 she will have the same as Terry

Terry's money is written as 8x as mentioned previously, and Sarah's money is now 5x+120. We know that these two things are equal so you can write the following equation:

5x+120= 8x

Now subtract 5x from both sides to get:

120=3x

Divide 3 from x and 120 to get:

x=40

Now you can simply plug in 40 for each of the ratios (2x, 5x, and 8x)

Russel: £80

Sarah: £200

Terry: £320

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
