For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Let the variable representing the number of math problems result

y: Let the variable representing the number of pages read

According to the statement data we have:

2.5x + 3y = 59.5\\y = 2x

Substituting the second equation into the first we have:

2.5x + 3 (2x) = 59.5\\2.5x + 6x = 59.5\\8.5x = 59.5\\x = \frac {59.5} {8.5}\\x = 7

So, Joshua solved 7 math problems.

On the other hand we have:

y = 2 (7) = 14

So, Joshua read 14 pages.

Answer:

Joshua solved 7 math problems and read 14 pages.

Answer:

Joshua solved 7 math problems and tread 14 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of math problems Joshua solved. The number of pages Joshua read is twice the number of math problems he solved, then 2x is the number of pages Joshua read.

Joshua can solve each math problem in 2.5 minutes, then x math problems he solves in 2.5x minutes.

Joshua can read each page in 3 minutes, then 2x pages he reads in 3\cdot 2x=6x minutes.

It took him 59.5 minutes to complete all of his homework, so

2.5x+6x=59.5

Solve this equation:

2.5x+6x=59.5\\ \\8.5x=59.5\\ \\85x=595\\ \\x=7\\ \\2x=14

Joshua solved 7 math problems and tread 14 pages.

Determine if the triangles are congruent. If so, write a congruence statement. Explain your reasoning in a short paragraph proof
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vertical angle would show that 2 of the angles are exactly the same. Its also given 2 lines that are marked as congurent. Since we know that angle and the lines are congruent we can also say that angle IFJ is congruent to angle IHG meaning that they are congruent because of ASA (Angle Side Angle Theorem)

When 24 is subtracted from a number and that difference is multiplied by 1/4, the result is 4.
Katen [24]
If (x-24)0.25 = 4, distribute 0.25 within the parenthesis.
0.25x - 6 = 4
0.25x = 10
Divide both sides by 0.25
x = 40

Aleksandr [31]
Malik earned $243.

When he bought the tires, he spent $90 ($45x2), and he sold them for $130 ($65x2). So his profit was $40 ($130-$90).

He bought three rims for $225 ($85x3) and sold them all for $378 ($126x3). His profit was $153 ($378-$225).

The headlight covers cost him $25 in total ($5x5). He sold them all and got $75 ($15x5). The profit was $50 ($75-$25).

The total amount of money made was $243 ($40+$153+$50).
