Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
Answer: 12 9/10 and 10 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
5 8/10 plus 7 1/10 equals 12 9/10
8 5/8 plus 2 2/8 equals 10 7/8
//You can substitute some values in to find out, for example (1, -5) and (5, -5) are good.
Using this method, you can deduce that it would be A
I think it is 1200 people. Because if 40% are female and there are 480 females, then do 480 x 2 and that equals 960 then half of 480 is 240 so add 960 to 240 and you get 1200 as the total amount of people there. I'm not sure if it's right, but it should be.
