Answer:

x = 7

y = 11

z = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 32

Let's say the youngest is x, middle is y and oldest is z.

y= x+4 (age of the youngest + 4)

z= 2x (twice as old)

We can replace y and z in the main equation above with these values that contain x.

x + (x + 4) + 2x = 32

4x = 28, divide both sides by 4

x = 7

y = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

z = 2x = 2*7 = 14

And to check: 7 + 11 + 14 = 32

Answer:

Oldest=14

Middle=11

Youngest=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest is 2x youngest (7*2=14)

one you figure out the youngest (7) then *2 to get eldest(14)

32-7=25

25-14=11<--age of middle child that is 4 years older than youngest (7+4=11)

Hey!

-----------------------------------------

Answer: Yes 3/6 is rational!

-----------------------------------------

Why? Well, because 3 and 6 are integers that don't repeat. 3/6 simplifies to 1/2 or 0.5 which doesn't repeat so it's rational.

Agustin solved an equation as shown. What error did Agustin make? What is the correct answer?
Hitman42 [59]

Subtract 3/4x from both sides

1/3x-4-3/4x= 3/4x+1-3/4x

-5/12x-4=1

Add 4 to both sides

-5/12x-4+4=1+4

-5/12x=5

Multiply both sides by 12/(-5)

(12/-5)*(-5/12x)=  (12/-5)*(5)

x= 12


I hope that's help.

3 out of 5 picks are orange. if 12 picks are orange haw many picks are in all
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

There were 20 picks total

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem.  Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom

3 orange         12 orange

-------------- =   ---------------

5 total                x total

Using cross products

3x = 5*12

3x= 60

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

There were 20 picks total

Find the sales tax. Then find the total cost of the item. Sales Tax Selling Price Rate of Sales Tax Sales Tax $60.00 8% ? The sa
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: Sales tax is $4.80 and the total cost is $64.80

Step-by-step explanation: Take the difference in the total before and after tax and divide by the price before tax.

To get $4.80, find the sales tax of $60.00 of 8%

We can use this formula: (selling price x sales tax rate)

The sales tax is: $4.80

To find the total cost, add 60.00 by the sales tax. ($4.80)

60.00 + 4.80 = $64.80

Therefore, these are your answers: $4.80 and $64.80
