Answer:

30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming Algebraic expressions and solving them to find the age.

Ratio of age of mother and daughter = 5 : 3

Age of mother = 5x

Age of daughter = 3x

It is given that mother's age is 50 years.

⇒ 5x = 50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 50÷5

x = 10

Daughter's age = 3x

= 3*10

= 30 years

Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

$l$ : the number of large cars.

$s$ : the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

$\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.$

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

$\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5$

$l$ ≈ $56$

Substitute $l=56$ into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em> $56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86$
