<span>P: y + z = 6
Q: 8y + 7z = 1
A. This makes y = -8Y which will eliminate the "y"'s when the equations are added.

Answer:
The answer should be C. By combining like terms you can find the answer. 1.75a+2.75a = 4.5a
2.25b + 1.75b = 4b
2.25c + 1.25c = 3.5c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train

Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600
x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
Let S = spoon
Let K = knife
1 knife is thee times the cost of a spoon, so it would be 3S
Now you have 9S + 12K = 82.80
We can replace the K with 3S:
9S +12(3S) = 82.80
Simplify the left side:
9S + 36S = 82.80
Add:
45S = 82.80
Divide both sides by 45"
S = 82.80 / 45
S = 1.84
One spoon cost $1.84
We know one knife cost 3 times as much, so multiply the cost of a spoon by 3:
Knife = 1.84 x 3 = $5.52
