<span>m = j + 16
m + 5 = 3j
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
m - j = 16
m - 3j = -5
---
x - y = 16
x - 3y = -5

so now that you have your equations formed, just solve. 

x - y = 16 , which means that x = y + 16 
substitute for x in the second equation : 
 
Hope this helps

M=martina's age now
x=joe's age now

m is 16 older than x means
m=16+x


in 5 years (m+5 and x+5) she will be 3 times as old a joey
m+5=3(x+5)

so
we have
m=16+x
m+5=3(x+5)



a.
m=16+x

b.
x+5
m+5

c.
m=16+x
m+5=3(x+5)

d.
solving
sub 16+x for m
16+x+5=3(x+5)
distribute and add like terms
21+x=3x+15
minus x both sides
21=2x+15
minus 15 both sides
6=2x
divide by 2
3=x

m=16+x
m=16+3
m=19

joey is 3 and martina is 19

Answer:

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins 28 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are

The total number of coins Josie has = 92

Let the number of quarters she has = x

Therefore, 92 = 8 + 3×x

8 + 3×x = 92

3×x = 92 - 8 = 84

3×x = 84

x = 84/3 = 28

x = 28

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins = 28 quarters.

Can someone explain how to do this
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

im not really good at percentages but from what i know you first make it a fraction by adding all the numbers together to get 55(denominator). then for the numerator you take the section that they want(11). 11/55 is equal to 20/100(divide 100 by 55 and multiply the quotient by 11 to get 20). 20/100 is 20%. hope this kinda helps.
