John is 5 years older than Mary. In 10 years, twice John's age decreased by Mary's age is 35, and John's age will be twice Mary'

s current age. Find their ages now. If x is Mary's age now and y is John's age now, which system of equations could not be used to solve the problem?
1. y = x + 5 and y + 10 = 2x
2. y = x + 5 and 2(y + 10)-(x + 10) = 35
3. y = x + 5 and 2(y + 10) = x

J=m+5, 2(j+10)-(m+10)=35 

So number 2. is the correct answer...

Use the value of j=m+5 in the second equation to get:

2(m+5+10)-m-10=35

2m+30-m-10=35

m+20=35

m=15, and j=m+5=20

So Mary is currently 15 years old and John is 20 years old.

Answer:

Option 2 is correct that could be used to solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Mary is x

And present age of John is y  

Since, john is 5 years older than Mary hence, we get

y=x+5

In 10 years twice john's age is decreased by Mary's age by 35

2(y+10)-(x+10)=35

hence, Option 2 is correct which could be use to solve the problem.

Max, a carpet installer, needs to calculate the amount of carpet needed to cover a floor that’s 3 1⁄2 yards wide and 4 3⁄4 yards
AlekseyPX

Answer:

13 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just multiply 3.5 and 4.75

AKA

3 1/2 and 4 3/4

Change 1/2 into 2/4 so the denominators are the same

Multiply the numerators 2 and 3, you now have 6/4

3 × 4 = 12

6/4 is improper so, you need to simplify

now you have 1 1/2

Now 12 + 1 1/2 = 13 1/12
