The age of the grandson is 7 years and the grandfather is 84 years if the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the age of the grandsons is x years and

age of the grandfather's age is y years

Here some data are misprinted, so we are assuming the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.

Then according to the problem:

12x = y  (as in 1 year, there are 12 months)

y -x = 77 (as difference in age is 77)

After solving both equations, we get:

x = 7 years and y = 84 years

Thus, the age of the grandson is 7 years and the grandfather is 84 years if the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.

A gift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45. There are 8 items in the basket. Jars of jam cost $
castortr0y [4]
The equation you had:
6x + 5y = 45

Solve for Y:
5y = (-6x)    + 45 divide by 5
y   = (-6/5)x + 9
y   = -1 1/5x +9

How to solve: a parade traveled 4 miles in 2 hours. how far did tge parade travel per minute?
jek_recluse [69]

There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.

Right now, we have the fraction  (4 miles) / (2 hours).

We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of  (miles/minute)  or maybe  (feet/minute).

Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.

Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction.  But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.

      (4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ...  1 hour is the same thing as  60 minutes.

Multiply the fractions:  (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)

Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have

             (4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)

               = (4 miles) / (120 minutes) 

               =          (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .

Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer. 

   (4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom. 

Multiply all three fractions: 

     (4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)

You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:

     (4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)

  =  (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60)  feet / minutes

  =  (21,120 / 120)  feet/minute   =    176 feet per minute
