92 = 11 + 12 + 13 + 2(a) + 4(3a)

92 = 36 + 2a + 12a

92 = 36 + 14a

-36 -36

56 = 14a

56/14 = 14a/14

a = 4

Given x : y: z = 5:1:3 and z - y = 28. find the value of x + y

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

x + y = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x : y : z = 5 : 1 : 3, then

$\frac{x}{y}$ = 5 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 5y ←

and $\frac{y}{z}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

3y = z

Substitute z = 3y into z - y = 28

3y - y = 28

2y = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 14 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into x = 5y

x = 5 × 14 = 70 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into z - y = 28

z - 14 = 28 ( add 14 to both sides )

z = 42 ← ←

Thus x = 70, y = 14 and z = 42

Hence x + y = 70 + 14 = 84

Tom and Brian are hiking towards each other at the opposite ends of a trail that is 21 miles long. Tom hikes uphill at a speed o

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 21 miles

Speed * time

Speed * time = distance

Tom speed = 2 mph

Brian = 4 mph

Let time = t

Brian distance + Tom's distance = total distance

4t + 2t = 21

6t = 21

t = 21 / 6

t = 3.5 hours
