If Mary and Tom put their money together they have £36. If Mary's money were halved and Tom's money doubled they would have £42. How much does each of them have? If you're answering, could you please show working out, thanks so much.

Mary: £20

Tom: £16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=the number of £ Mary has and y=number of £ Tom has.

x+y=36  ==>x=36-y

x/2+2y=42 ==> x+4y=84

36-y+4y=84

36+3y=84

3y=48

y=16

x+y=36, so x+16=36, so x=20

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)

approx is 779.4 cm^2
