X=Tom´s age
y=Tim´s age.
we suggest this system of equations: 

x+y=21
(x+3)=2(y+3)

We solve this system of equations by susbstitution method.
x=21-y
[(21-y)+3]=2(y+3)
24-y=2y+6
-y-2y=6-24
-3y=-18
y=-18/-3=6

x=21-y
x=21-6=15.

Answer: Tom is 15 years old, and Tim is 6 years old.

At the produce counter, 71⁄5 pounds of seedless grapes cost $12.89. How much would 3 pounds cost? A. $3.58 B. $5.16 C. $1.79 D.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D. $5.37

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how much grapes cost per pound

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

7 1/5 = (5*7+1) /5 = 36/5

$12.89 / 36/5

Copy dot flip

12.89 * 5/36 = 1.79 per lb

If we are purchasing 3 pounds, we will multiply by 3

3 lbs * $1.79 / lb = $5.37

Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of f(x) = x. Which statement correctly describes the graph of g(x) if g(x
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

reflection over the x-axis and a vertical compression by a factor of 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is given as

f(x) = x

The transformed graph has equation:

g(x) =  - 8f(x)

The factor of 8, indicates a vertical stretch.

The negative sign indicates a reflection in the x-axis.

Therefore the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis and a vertical compression by a factor of 8.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

b = 45.9 - c

Step-by-step explanation:

A scalene triangle has non of its sides equal.

Perimeter = 54.6

side a = 8.7 cm

side b = unknown

side c = unknown

Perimeter of a shape is sum of all its sides.

Perimeter = a + b + c

54.6 = 8.7 + b + c

Making b the subject

b = 54.6 - 8.7 - c

b = 45.9 - c

The value of b is (45.9 - c)

Using the standard 28/36 guidelines, what is the maximum mortgage payment allowed for someone with an annual salary of $60,750?
Anna11 [10]

\frac{28}{36} rule says that 28 % of your total income should be spent on Housing finances and 36 % of your gross total income should be spend for Debts.

Annual Salary = $ 60,750

Maximum mortgage payment=28% of $ 60,750

=\frac{28}{100} \times 60750=\frac{1701,00}{100}\\\\ =1701

Maximum ,mortgage payment allowed for someone with an annual salary of $60,750= $ 1,701.00→→→Option (C)
