Answer:

First of all this question makes no complate sense if this was in real life. But the answer is: Allen is 23 years old and Jim woukd be 12 1/2 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 20+3=23. That's because it said in 3 years. Tthen we divide by 2 to find Jim's age. That's because it said that in three years, Allen would be twice as old as Jim.

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirements set by this problem aren't possible to meet simultaneously. You can do your algebra for each one and find an answer. In this case, I found that the age of Jim was 23, and Allen 43, but those ages do not match the criteria of Allen being 2 times as old as Jim. Your teacher gave you a problem without remembering that both of the people in the problem are aging at the same time. That's the only possible explanation I have for this problem.

An icecream shop charges $3.39 for a dish of ice cream. A costomer can also order toppings for $0.59 each. If x represents the n
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

3.39 + 0.59x

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a dish of ice cream = $3.39

Cost of toppings = $0.59 each

x = number of toppings

which expression can be used to determine the total charge in dollars, for a dish of ice cream with x toppings

Total charge for a dish of ice cream with x toppings = 3.39 + 0.59x

The expression is 3.39 + 0.59x

the sum of two numbers is 61. five times the smaller number is 23 more than the larger. find the numbers
Stella [2.4K]
Smaller Number = X
5x - 23 = Larger Number

X + (5x - 23) = 61
6x - 23 = 61
6x = 84
X = 14

In Yellowstone National Park there are 300 species of birds that migrate. This accounts for 2/7 of all the species of birds sigh
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

\frac{2}{7} x = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of all the species of birds sighted in the park

“300 species of birds that migrate. This accounts for 2/7 of all the species of birds sighted in the park”

the above sentence means “(2/7)x = 300”

now we can solve it :

(2/7)x = 300

⇔ 2x = 7×300

⇔ 2x = 2100

⇔ x = 2100/2

⇔ x = 1050

PLEASE HELP 30 PTS!!! Select ALL the correct answers. Which expressions are equivalent to the following?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

  D:  -5(-6x^2 + x + 2)

  E:  5(2x + 1)(3x − 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>first two answer choices have incorrect constants</em> (25 and 3 vs -10). A factor of 5 is removed from the remaining answer choices, so let's remove a factor of 5 and see what we get:

  30x^2 -5x -10 = 5(6x^2 -x -2)

An additional x cannot be factored from the expression, so <em>choice C can be eliminated</em>.

Multiplying each of these factors by -1 will make the product correspond to answer choice D.

Factoring will make it correspond to answer choice E, best verified by finding the x-term of the product of the binomial factors:

  E:  2x(-2) +1(3x) = -x, as required

  F:  2x(2) -1(3x) = x, wrong sign

The equivalent expressions are those of choices D and E.
