Amy has $8 less than Maria.Together they have $30

1 answer:

8 0

a + m = 30
a = m - 8

(m - 8) + m = 30
2m - 8 = 30
2m = 30 + 8
2m = 38
m = 38/2
m = 19

a = m - 8
a = 19 - 8
a = 11

so Amy has $11 and Maria has $ 19

Four brothers and their sister have the average age 7. Four brothers have the average age 6. How old is the sister?

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If four brothers have the average age 6, then the sum of their ages is

$4\cdot 6=24$

years.

Let x years be the age of sister. If four brothers and their sister have the average age 7, then

Multiply this equation by 5:

$24+x=35\Rightarrow x=35-24=11.$

The sister is 11 years old.
