Answer: The answer for x is 6.75. The answer for y 6.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
You are going to mutiple 0.75 x 9 = 6.75. Then, mutiple 0.50 x 9= 4.5. Hope this works.
X=Elinor´s age today.
y=Mother´s age today.
(x+15)=Elinor´s age after 15 years.
(y+15)=Mohter´s age after 15 years.
We can suggest this systemen of equations:
x/y=3/8 ⇒x=3y/8
(x+15)/(y+15)=6/11 ⇒11(x+15)=6(y+15)
Finally, we´ll have the following system:
x=3y/8
11(x+15)=6(y+15)
We can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
11[(3y/8)+15)=6(y+15)
11[(3y+120)/8)=6y+90
33y+1320=8(6y+90)
33y+1320=48y+720
33y-48y=720-1320
-15y=-600
y=-600/-15
y=40
We find out the value of "x";
x=3y/8
x=3(40)/8
x=120/8
x=15
Answer: Elinor is 15 years old.
Answer:
Its A x - 55 = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 55 = 39
x = 39 + 55
x = 94
This is correct as they sold 39 and kept 55
This means they had 94 to begin with.
I hope this helps ^_^
