Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
<u>Condition:</u>
=> 10-3x = x+22
<u><em>Let's Solve it:</em></u>
=> -3x-x = 22-10
=> -2x = 12
<em>Dividing both sides by -2</em>
=> x = -6
Well she charged twice as much to walk large then small. Let s be small and l be large.
We we know that
l = 2s
we also know that she wants to make 100 so
xl + ys = 100
Where where x is number of large and y is number of small. it says she walked 10 small and 5 large so
5l + 10s = 100
substitute 2s for l because they are same value as shown in first equation I made
5 (2s) + 10s = 100
10s + 10s = 100
20s = 100
s = 5
we can now solve for l
l = 2s
l = 2 * 5
l = 10
So s is 5 and l is 10.
You can solve this question using two different methods. One is obviously a hit and trial method in which you keep guessing a number which gives the same amount of total cost. Second is forming two different equations and then solving them using simultaneous methods learnt.
The correct answer is 75 miles. I used the hit and trial method. You can see 20 + 75 * 0.35 = 46.25 and similarly 35 + 75 * 0.15 = 46.25. Hence the same cost.
Answer:
28 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of the years of Lance , Ted, Rosalinda = 39 + 22 +45 = 106 year
Sum of the years of Lance , Ted, Rosalinda & Erik = 33.5*4 = 134.0 year
Age of Erik = 134 - 106 = 28 years
