Answer:
syd is 23 and dev is 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Dev's age be x and Syd's age be y
Since Dev is 3 times older than Syd, we may write
x
=
3
y
Since the sum of their ages is 92, we may write
x
+
y
=
92
Now replacing x with 3y, we get :
3
y
+
y
=
92
Hence
y
=
92
4
=
23
and so Syd is 23 year old.
Back substituting we get Dev is 69 years old.
Answer:
$255
Step-by-step explanation:
As, the area of the pool bottom = length x breath
= 20 x 15 = 300 square foot
So for painting
Per square foot = $0.85
So for 300 square foot = $0.85 x 300
= $255
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 (4x - 8) + 3x =0
distribute the 1/4
x-2+3x=0
combine like terms
-2+4x=0
move -2 to the other side [by ADDing +2 to each side
4x=2
divide [by 4 on both sides]
x=1/2
The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.
Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive
I hope this helps :)
