Answer:
a. x = total - $5
b. x = $6
c. x = $10
Step-by-step explanation:
a. pen + book = total
Let x = book
$5 + x = total
x = total - $5
b. pen + book = total
Total = 411
$5 + x = $11
x = $11 - $5
x = $6
c. pen + book = total
Total = $15
$5 + x = $15
x = $15 - $5
x = $10
14.6 is the constant because no matter how many hours she will work (that number could change) it will always be a linear growth of 14.6.
(50/100)(100gal/min)(60min/hr)(6hr)=18000=1.80X10^4
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write an equation to represent the situation.
34 = 2a + 12
This equation works because your combined age is half of 68, so 34. If your age is a, then yours sister's age is a + 12. if you add your age to your sister's, you get 2a + 12.
Now just solve for a.
34 = 2a + 12
First, subtract 12 from both sides.
22 = 2a
Then divide both sides by 2.
11 = a
So you are 11 years old. If you need to check your work, your age (11) plus your sister's age (11 + 12, which is 23) is 34, which is half of your grandfather's age.
