Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1M + 1B = 62

rearrange to get:

1B = 62 - 1M

4M - 3 = 1B

substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:

4M - 3 = 62 - 1M

Get all the variables on one side:

4M + 1M - 3 = 62

Get all non variables on the other side:

4M + 1M = 62 + 3

simplify:

5M = 65

Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:

M = 13.

BONUS:

M + B = 62

B = 49

So her brother is 49 years old.

Maggie is 13 years old.

zvonat [6]

Complete question is;

It took Priya 5 minutes to fill a cooler with 8 gallons of water from a faucet that was flowing at a steady rate. Let w be the number of gallons of water in the cooler after t minutes. Which of the following equations represent the relationship between w and t? Select all that apply

A) w = 1.6t

B) w = 0.625t

C) t = 1.6w

D) t = 0.625w

Answer:

Option A: w = 1.6t

& Option D: t = 0.625w

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told It took Priya 5 minutes to fill a cooler with 8 gallons of water at a steady rate.

Thus;

Rate of filling = 8 gallons/5 minutes = 1.6 gallons/minutes

Now, we are told that w is the number of gallons of water in the cooler after t minutes.

Thus, to find w, we will multiply the rate by t minutes.

w = 1.6 gallons/minutes × t minutes

w = 1.6t gallons

Or we can write as;

w/1.6 = t gallons

0.625w = t gallons

Therefore, options A & D are correct.

Jayden is blocking off several rooms in a hotel for guests coming to his wedding. The hotel can reserve small rooms that can hol
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

  • 12 large rooms
  • 8 small rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were small rooms, 40 guests could be accommodated. Each large room accommodates 1 more guest, so there must be 52 -40 = 12 large rooms. The remaining 20 -12 = 8 rooms are small rooms.

Jayden reserved 12 large and 8 small rooms.

__

If you can't think without an equation, let x represent the number of large rooms. Then the number of guests accommodated is ...

  3x + 2(20-x) = 52

  x + 40 = 52

  x = 52 -40 = 12 . . . . . . .number of large rooms

  (20-x) = 20-12 = 8 . . . . number of small rooms
