Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 20. What is Mikhail's age?

2 answers:

5 0

You can convert this problem into an equation.
3x + x = 20
When simplified, the problem is 4x = 20
You can easily solve for x, which is 5.
Mikhail’s age is 5 years old.

Answer:

Mikhail is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent each member with a variable.

X= Gabrille

Y=Mikhail

X+Y=20 (sum of their ages is 20)

X=3y (Gabrille is 3 times Mikhails age)

Substitute 3Y into the first equation (simultaneous equation)

. 3y+y=20

. 4y=20 (divide both sides by 4)

y=5

To check your answer.

X+5=20

X=20-5

X=15

15 is 5 times 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+w= 45 which means 15+15+15=45

b+b+b=21 which means 7+7+7=21

s+s+s=12 which means 4+4+4=12

w+b×s= a which means 15+7×4= 43

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(x, y) = (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides a quick and easy way to find the solution.

_____

There are several other ways to solve these equations. Or you can estimate where the answer might be using logic like this:

The intercepts of the first equation are ...

x-intercept = 26/4 = 6 1/2
y-intercept = -26/3 = -8 2/3

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 4th quadrant.

The intercepts of the second equation are ...

x-intercept = 11/3 = 3 2/3
y-intercept = 11/2 = 5 1/2

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 1st quadrant. The x-intercept of this one is less than the x-intercept of the first equation, so the two lines must cross in the 4th quadrant.

The only 4th-quadrant answer choice is (5, -2).

24=3(n-5) solve for n

mario62 [17]

Answer:

n = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 3 (n-5)

3n - 15 = 24

3n = 24 +15

3n = 39

n = 39/3

n = 13
