Answer: Angie = 6, Jemma = 18

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the current age of Angie

              Current Age           Age 5 years from now

Angie:            x                              x + 5

Jemma:        3x                            3x + 5

5 years from now the sum of their ages is 34

                  (x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 34

                               4x + 10 = 34

                               4x        = 24

                                 x         = 6

Angle's current age is x = 6

Jemma's current age is 3x = 3(6) = 18

Answer: Angie is 6 years and Jemma is 18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jemma'a age be J and Angie's be A.

Then:

J = 3A .................................. Equation 1

Five years from now , Jemma will be J+5 years and Angie will be A+5 years.

That is :

J+5+A+5 = 34

Re arranging we have:

J +A+10 = 34

subtract 10 from both sides

J+A = 24............................ Equation 2

recall that  J=3A

Substitute  J = 3A  into equation 2 , then we have:

3A + A = 24

4A = 24

divide through by 4

A = 6

substitute A = 6 into equation 1 , we have

J = 3(6)

J = 18

Therefore :

Angie is 6 years and Jemma is 18 years

Explain why it can be helpful to use partial quotients when dividing?
Anastasy [175]
In mathematics, a quotient (from Latin: quotiens "how many times", pronounced ˈkwoʊʃənt) is the result of division. For example, when dividing 6 by 3, the quotient is 2, while 6 is called the dividend, and 3 the divisor.

“Ms. Blanco drove her car at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for 1 1/2 hours, then at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for 2
lara31 [8.8K]
I’m pretty sure it’s 370 bc
1 and a half hours is 80+40 (40 is half of 80)
and 2 and a half hours, so 100 for each hour.
100+100+50= 250

250+120=370!!

answer : 370 kilometers per hour

Ellen is excited to learn how to ski. She went to White Peaks Mountain, rented a pair of skis for $45, and took 4 hours of group
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

x=30h

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to figure out how much she actually paid for lessons, so you need to subtract 45 from 165.

165-45=120

Now you know she paid 120 dollars in total for lessons.

You know she took four hours of lessons, so you divide 120 by 4.

120/4=30

It takes $30 an hour for lessons.

Now you can form an equation.

Since you know it takes $30 per hour of lessons, it will be 30h.

x is the full amount of money paid

You don't need to add 165-45 to your equation because not everyone will need to rent skis when they come to White Peaks.

Hope this helps!
