Answer:

A) Steve = Ryan +18

B) Steve + Ryan = 144

A) Steve -Ryan = 18 then adding B

B) Steve + Ryan = 162

2 Steve = 162

Steve weighs 81 pounds

Ryan weighs (81 -18) pounds 63 pounds

X = Ryan’s weight
X + 18 = Steve’s weight
144 = total weight for both

X + X + 18 = 144 ( equation)
2X = 144 -18 (group your equation)
2X/2 = 126/2 (divide both sides by 2)
X = 63 ( Ryan’s age)
X + 18 = 81 ( Steve’s age)

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————

Given the Arithmetic sequence A1,A2,A3,A4 61, 74, 87, 100 What is the value of A15?
Rufina [12.5K]
A15=243
74-61=13
87-61=13
So they're adding 13 every time.
A15 is 11 terms from A4 which is the last one you are given so 11*13=143
143+100=243

10x + 1 = 2(3× + 5) - 1
MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 1 = 2(3x + 5) - 1

  1. mutlipy the 2 to the 3x and the 5
  2. you should get 10x + 1 = 6x + 10 - 1
  3. now you have to add the combine terms
  4. so it will now be 10x + 1 = 6x + 9
  5. now you.have to get the x's on one side and the constants (numbers alone) on the other side
  6. so you can subtract the 6x on both sides
  7. once you do that you wil get 4x + 1 = 9
  8. After you get this equation you will have to subtract the one from both sides.
  9. you will get 4x = 8
  10. All you have to do it divide 4 on both sides. Your final answer is x = 2.
