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.

leontyne sings for $1,000 an hour. Her rate increases by 50 percent after midnight. If she sings one night from 8:30 pm until 1:
iren2701 [21]
From 8.30 pm to 12 : 00

Difference = 12 : 00 - 08:30 = 3 : 30

3 hours 30 minutes = 3.5 hours.

Total for those hours = 3.5 * 1000 = $3500

From 12:00 to 1:00 am  = 1 hour.

50% increase =  50% of 1000 = .50 * 1000 = 500

So it will increase to 1000 + 500 = $1500 per hour.

For the 1 hour extra, 1 * 1500 = $1500

Total = $3500 + $1500 = $5000

She will be paid $5000

A kitten was given to a child as a birthday present when she was two years old. The cat lived a good life, but eventually became
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cat's age when it died = x.

Therefore, the child's age is 2 + x because he/she got the cat when he/she was 2 years old.

We can set up an equation.

x + (2+x) = 30

2x + 2 = 30

2x = 28

Therefore, x = 14

ycow [4]

Answer: 205 miles in 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find our answer is to first find how many miles the car can go in one hour. We would se the equation (123 divided by 3 to find our answer) which would give us 41 miles per hour. Then, we would proceed to multiply 41 by 5 which would give us our answer, 205 miles in 5 hours. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
