Answer:

4) Melody is 9 and her sister is 24

5) The numbers are 3 and 9

6) 14 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions 4

There is a lot going on here.  This is probably hard to follow.  If it is, it is me and not you.

Let m = Melody and s = sister

m - 4 = 1/4(s-4)                     m + 6 = 1/2(s + 6)  Clear the fractions

4m - 16 = s -4                        2m -s = -6

Multiple the second equation by -1 and add together

4m - s = 12

<u>-2m + s = 6</u>

2m = 18  Divide both sides by 2

m = 9  Substitute this in to find the sister's age

2m + 12 = s + 6

2(9) +12 + s + 6

18 + 12 = s + 6

30 = s + 6  Subtract 6 from both sides

24 = s

Questions 5

x + y = 12              x = 5y - 6

Plug in 5y - 6 in the first equation for x

5y - 6 + y = 12  Combine like terms

6y - 6 = 12  Add 6 to both sides

6y = 18  Divide both sides by 6

y = 3

x + y = 12

3 + y = 12  Subtract 3 from both sides

y = 9

I am little confused by this because it says, "The value of the number..."  What number are they referring to?

Question 6

To find the rate taking into consideration the walkway rate:

\frac{48}{3} - w  Which is equivalent to 16 - w

\frac{24}{2} + w  Which is equivalent to 12 + w

Set these expression equal to each other and find the rate of the walkway

16 - w = 12 + w  Add w to both sides

16 = 12 + 2w  Subtract 12 from both sides

4 = 2w  Divide both sides by 2

2 = w

The rate of the walkway is 2 feet per second.  Subtract that from 16 or add is to the 12 to get 14 steps per second.

Answer:

x = 14 and x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Not that + (- ) = -

(a)

x + (- 4) = 10, that is

x - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 14

(b)

2x - 10 = - 24 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 7
