Answer:

George is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

George is g and Mike is m

g = 2m - 5
g + m = 31

Substitute g in the second equation

2m - 5 + m = 31
3m - 5 = 31
3m = 36
m = 12

Finding g

g = 2*12 - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Brand X costs $2.70 for 10 ounces. Brand Y costs 4 cents more per ounces. What is the cost of 11 ounces of brand Y?

Ksju [112]

Well you have to first find the constant of Brand X which would be 2.70/10 = .27. Brand Y is .4 more so that would be .31 per ounce. So then .31 x 11 = 3.41. The cost of 11 ounces of brand Y is $3.41.

Find the measure of angle X.

densk [106]

Answer:

x = 23 degrees

Because if you look at diagram x is vertical to angle FBC, and angle FEC and angle EBA are alternate interior angles so they are equal to each other, and AC is a straight line which means it equals to 180 degrees.

$4x+65+x = 180$

x = 23 degrees
