<span>1. Martina is given to be 14 years older than Joey who is x years old. Hence, the age of Martina can be expressed as,
x + 14
2. If Joey's current age is x then in 5 years he will become x+5 years old.
3. Martina's age will be her current age added with 5 making it, x+14+5 or x + 19.
4. The equation that would best represent the given scenario in this item is:
x + 19 = 3(x + 5)
5. From the given above, the value of x is equal to 2. This is Joey's current age.
6. The current age of Martina is x + 14 which is equal to 16.</span>
Sorry dude! I don’t know this one but goodluck
Let the amount that Brandy paid be b, the amount that Katie paid be k, and the amount that Stephanie paid be s.
b=2k
s=k+3
b+s+k=56
Substituting and doing the equation only in terms of k, we get:
2k+(k+3)+k=56
4k+3=56
4k=53
k=13.25
Katie paid $13.25.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
rate of change = Δy / Δx = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
= -3 - 5/-6 - 0
= - 8/-6
= 1 and 1/3rd
We are asked to determine the <span>three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 195. This is translated to the equation x + x+2 + x+ 4 = 195. in this case, x is the lowest number and a dfference of two separates the consecutive odd integers. 3x + 6 = 195, where x is equal to 63. The numbers are 63, 65 and 67.</span>
