Let's first convert that amount of money into cents, which makes 336 cents. Then, let's denote the amount of money one of the boys has with x. The other boy has got 3x-12 amount of money. We can construct an equation.
. Solving it we find that x=87 cents or $ 0.87 and the other boy holds $2.49 amount of money.
Answer:
B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.
Hope this helped ^-^
X-10>15.........................................
I'm not sure if it only wants you to find Equation 1 or go further and solve:
x = the number of 5c coins
y = the number of 10c coins
Equation 1: the total number of coins is 65
x + y = 65
total value of $3.80
0.05x + 0.1y = 3.8
<u>Simultaneous Equations</u>
Make one coefficient the same
10 * (0.05x + 0.1y = 3.80 = 0.5x + y = 38
x + y = 65
0.5x + y = 38
Subtract the equations
(x + y) - (0.5x + y)= 65 - 38
(x - 0.5x) + (y - y) = 65 - 38
0.5x = 27
x = 54
Substitute it into the original equation to find y.
x + y = 65
54 + y = 56
y = 65 - 54 = 11
Substitute it into the other equation to check it's right.
0.05x + 0.1y = 3.8
0.05(54) + 0.1(65) = 3.8
x = 54 5c coins
y = 11 10c coins
Answer:
The last table
Step-by-step explanation:
The X must go up by 1 and the Y must increase/decrease at a constant rate.
