Answer:

  • C. 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between police station and the fire station be x.

According to question we have:

  • the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station,
  • the distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

It can be expressed as:

  • 5 = 2x - 3

Solve the equation for x:

  • 2x = 5 + 3
  • 2x = 8
  • x = 4

<u>Correct choice</u> is C

THEIR AGES
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176
