12 is the answer to this question
Noelle goes east at N mph.
Karina travels west at N + 9
then their velocity between them is (N + N + 9)
After 8 hours they travel 8(2N + 9) = 232
(2N + 9) = 29
2N = 20
N = 10 mph for Noelle
N+9=19 mph for Karina
Answer:
Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.
If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,
K = 2T
and in 6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then
K + 6 = 4T
Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second
2T + 6 = 4T
Collect like terms
6 = 4T - 2T
6 = 2T
Divide both sides by 2
T = 3
Recall that K = 2T
K = 2 * 3
= 6
Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old
7% of 232,000 is 16,240
232,000 + 16,240 is 248,240
so 248,240 is the answer
