Answer:
13 14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
The numerator and denominator of 28/30 have a greatest common factor of 2. Dividing that from each of those numbers gives 14/15. This is the reduced fraction of the mixed number. The integer portion stays the same.
13 28/30 = 13 14/15
x = number of packages he bought
y = number of popsicles in each package
Here are the two equations:
xy = 54
x = 3 + y
Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.
(3 + y)y = 54,
3y + y^2 = 54
y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0
Solve the quadriatic equation:
(y +9)(y - 6) = 0
y = -9, 6.
Plug y into: xy = 54
x(-9) = 54, x = -6.
x(6) = 54, x = 9.
So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age be xy or 10x + y.
Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age, convert this to equation:
- (10y + x)/3 + 20 = 10x + y
- (10y + x)/3 = 10x + y - 20
- 10y + x = 3(10x + y - 20)
- 10y + x = 30x + 3y - 60
- 30x - x + 3y - 10y = 60
- 29x - 7y = 60
We should consider both x and y are between 1 and 9 since both the age and its reverse are 2-digit numbers.
Possible options for x are:
- 29x ≥ 7*1 + 60 = 67 ⇒ x > 2, at minimum value of y,
and
- 29x ≤ 7*9 + 60 = 123 ⇒ x < 5, at maximum value of y.
So x can be 3 or 4.
<h3>If x = 3</h3>
- 29*3 - 7y = 60
- 87 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 27
- y = 27/7, discarded as fraction.
<h3>If x = 4</h3>
- 29*4 - 7y = 60
- 116 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 56
- y = 8
So the age is 48.
