Algebra.Com's Answer #189281 by drk(1908)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! From the given we can create several equations: \n" ); document.write( "(i) \n" ); document.write( "(ii) Q = 2H \n" ); document.write( "(iii) D = 2Q \n" ); document.write( "(iv) N = 3D \n" ); document.write( "Substituting everything in for the variable H, we get \n" ); document.write( "(v) \n" ); document.write( "solving, we get \n" ); document.write( "(vi) \n" ); document.write( "(vii) \n" ); document.write( "so, \n" ); document.write( "Q = 2H = 2*5 = 10 \n" ); document.write( "D = 2Q = 2*10 = 20 \n" ); document.write( "N = 3D = 3*20 = 60. \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "checking we get \n" ); document.write( "5(60) + 10(20) + 25(10) + 50(5) = ???? \n" ); document.write( "300 + 200 + 250 + 250 = 1000 \n" ); document.write( " |
