Hi , please help me in this question, thanks!

Triangle AEF is an isosceles triangle since EF = ED (Equilateral Triangle) and AE = ED (Square).

hence, if angle x = 30 degrees, then

(b) angle y = (180 - 30) / 2 = 75 degrees.

angle AFC = 360 - 75 - 60 - 75 = 150

hence

(c) angle z = 150 degrees (rhombus).

Hi. I am looking for books with algebra questions on 3 unknowns and 3 equations (just to practice solving it. Not problem sums). I have searched some Secondary books but could not find any. Anybody can help?

The numbers are arranged in groups of 6
row 1 --> 1st group of 6 numbers
row 2 --> 2nd group of 6 numbers (7 to 12)...

Divide any given number by 6 -->
row number : if there is a remainder, then row number = quotient + 1, and if there is no remainder, the row number = quotient
column number --> determined by the remainder as follows-
remainder of 1 --> A
remainder of 2 --> B
remainder of 3 --> C
remainder of 4 --> D
remainder of 5 --> E
remainder of 0 --> F

827 ÷ 6 = 137 R5 --> Row 138, Column E

cheers.

Q1) 3/5 of Bette's money is $324 more than 3/4 of Tina's money.
Bette has twice as much as Tina.
a) How much does Tina have?
b) How much does Bette have?

Thanks in advance.

Tina's money --> 4 units,

3/4 of Tina's money --> 3 units
3/5 of Bette's money -->3 units + $324 = 3 x (1 unit + $108)

Bette's money (5/5) --> 5 x (1 unit + $108) = 5 units + $540

Bette has twice as much as Tina
so,
5 units + $540 = 8 units
1 unit --> $180

Tina's money --> $ 720
Bette's money --> $ 1440

cheers.
