The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get

J=4L, (J+9)+(L+9)=68  using J=4L in the second equation gives you:

4L+9+L+9=68

5L+18=68

5L=50

L=10 and since J=4L

J=40

So Jack is 40 years old and Lacy is 10 years old.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation has to be the ratio of raisins to sunflower seeds. If r is raisins and p is sunflower seeds and there are 3 times as many raisins as sunflower seeds then the first equation must be 3r=p

The second equation should model the prices properly. Raisins are 1.5 per pound and sunflower seeds are 4 per pound, because of this we should have 1.5r (r being each pound of raisins) and 4p (p being each pound of sunflower seeds). From this we know the second equation must be 4p+1.5r=34

Answer:

D)$42.00

Step-by-step explanation:

18 3/4 is equal to 18.75, so 18.75x2.80 is your original cost (52.5). After doing that, since 52.5=100% you are going to divide 52.5 by 5 since 20x5=100. So 20% is 10.5. 52.5-10.5= $42.00
