Jenny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

Bottle 1

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

Bottle 2

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6
