Answer:

son = 10

daughter  = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the daughter = d

Let the son =          s

s = 2*d

there ages in 15 years

Mother = 40 + 15 = 55

Son = s + 15

daughter = d + 15

Total: s + 15 + d+15 + 55 = 100    Combine the like terms.

s + d + 85 = 100                            Subtract 85 from both sides.

s + d = 100 - 85

s + d = 15

s = 2*d                                            Substitute for son

2d + d = 15

3d = 15

d = 15/3

d = 5

son = 2*5

son = 10

Check

son = 15 =           25

daughter + 15 =  20

<u>Mother + 15    =   55</u>

Total                   100 just as it should be.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the ages D for daughter and S for son.

We know that the son is twice as old as the daughter, so:

S = 2D

We also know that in 15 years, their ages add up to 100, so:

(40+15) + (S+15) + (D+15) = 100

55 + S + 15 + D + 15 = 100

85 + S + D = 100

S + D = 15

Substituting the first equation:

2D + D = 15

3D = 15

D = 5

Therefore:

S = 2D = 10

The son is 10 and the daughter is 5.

emmasim [6.3K]
(3c+s)(100-20)/100=100  multiply both sides by 100

(3c+s)80=10000  divide both sides by 80

3c+s=125  subtract 3c from both sides...

s=125-3c....now let's look at the second situation...

(4c+2s)(100-40)/100=120  multiply both sides by 100

60(4c+2s)=12000  divide both sides by 60

4c+2s=200  divide both sides 2

2c+s=100 subtract 2c from both sides

s=100-2c, and from earlier we saw that s=125-3c, since s=s:

100-2c=125-3c  add 3c to both sides

100+c=125  subtract 100 from both sides

c=25, and since s=100-2c

s=50

So cds cost $25.00 and sweatshirts cost $50.00

notka56 [123]

The value of the expression will be equal to 55.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that 6 is added to the product of 7 and a number 7. The expression will be written as,

E = 7 x 7 + 6

E = 49 + 6

E = 55

Therefore, the value of the expression will be equal to 55.
