Brian, Tim and Kenny got paid a total of $240 for mowing neighborhood lawns. They split the money in the ratio of 5: 9: 10. A) How much less did Brian make than Tim?

The answer to your question is $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total payment = $240

Proportions   Brian: Tim: Kenny   5:9:10

Process

1.- Sum the proportions

           5 + 9 + 10 = 24

2.- Divide the total payment by the previous result

                  240 / 24 = 10

3.- Determine the money that every neighbor earn

   Brian = 10 x 5 = 50

   Tim = 9 x 10 = 90

   Kenny = 10 x 10 = 100

4.- Determine how much less did Brian make than Tim.

         90 - 50 = 40

5.- Conclusion

  Brian made $40 less than Brian

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
