Wendy has four times as much money as larry. together they have $85. how much money does each of them have? can you show me how you got the answer too? you!

Larry has $17 and Wendy has $68.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation. Let's have the amount of money Larry has equal x. Since Wendy has 4 times the amount of money as Larry, the amount of money Wendy has is 4x.

Together they have $85.

This means that x + 4x = 85.

Combine like terms. 5x = 85

DIvide both sides by 5

x = 17. This means that Larry has $17. Wendy has 4x so 4 * 17. Wendy has $68.

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
