W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

Jackson used 8/9 of a case of soda to fill 1/3 of the soda machine.
how many cases does it take to fill the soda machine = ?
1/3 means three parts of the soda machine, it means if we fill with 8/9 of a case three times soda machine will be full so,
8/9 + 8/9 + 8/9 = 24/9 
it means it takes the case of soda between 2 and 3.
2.667 approx. cases of soda it take to fill the soda machine.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

12.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by the total which is 18. To find the percentage off you will have to make the 30% into a decimal, so simply move it two spaces to the left. Now you have .30. Multiply the decimal, .30, and the full amount, 18. Your equation now should be (.30)*(18). Your answer will be 5.40. 5.40 is what is off of the shirt from the original price, so subtract 5.40 from 18. Your equation now is (18-5.40) which is 12.60.
