<u>Answer:</u>

13 years

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

5 years ago, let the grandchild's age to be x so the grandfather's age will be 5x.

3 years from now, the grandchild's age will be x+8 (x+3+5) and the grandfather's age will be 5x+8 (5x+3+8).

So we can establish an equation:

5x+8=3(x+8)

5x+8=3x+24

5x-3x=24-8

2x=16

x=8

Therefore, the present age of the grandchild is x+5 = 8+5 = 13 years and the present age of the grandfather is 5x+5 = 5(8)+5 = 45.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

13 years old

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let g and m represent grandfather's age now and my age now. The relation 5 years ago was ...

... g -5 = 5(m -5)

The relation in 3 years will be ...

... g +3 = 3(m +3)

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

... 8 = -2m +34

... 2m = 26 . . . . . add 2m-8

... m = 13

My age now is 13.

A circle has a circumference of 28.26 units. What is the diameter of the circle?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The diameter of the circle is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because circumference is equal to \pi * d, we can backtrack and use this equation to find diameter. Let's say \pi is equal to 3.14.

28.26 = 3.14d

Divide both sides by 3.14.

9 = d


The diameter of the circle is 9.

I need help quick please
kenny6666 [7]
Volume is Length x width x height divided by 3. You have the length and the width. which equals 24. (6x4). The volume that is present is 72... the last thing you do in the equation is divide by three so multiply 72 by 3 and get 216. This is the LxWxH. Like I said before you have the L and the W, which is 24. You would divide 24 from 216. The Height is 9cm.

One day a store sold 21 sweatshirts. white ones cost​ $9.95 and yellow ones cost $ 11.50. in​ all, ​$235.30 worth of sweatshirts
FromTheMoon [43]
For this problem you have yo set up two equations.

White shirts = w Yellow shirts = y

1st: w + y = 21
2nd: 9.95w + 11.50y = 235.30

Now we're going to do system of equations using substitution.

If w + y = 21, then y = 21 - w
If y = 21 - w, then you can substitute this in the second equation for y.

9.95w + 11.50(21 - w) = 235.30
9.95w + 241.5 - 11.50w = 235.30
-1.55w + 241.5 = 235.30
-1.55w = -6.2
w = 4, so 4 whites shirt were sold.

Now I'm finding out how many yellow shirts were sold using one of the two equations at the top.

w + y = 21
4 + y = 21
y = 17

So 17 yellow shirts were sold and 4 white shirts were sold.
