Answer:

Her current age is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age: x

"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."

In 10 years: <u>x + 10</u>

6 years less than triple: <em>3x - 6</em>

<u>x + 10</u> = <em>3x - 6</em>

<em>solve.</em>

<em>16 = 2x</em>

<em>x = 8</em>

Family traveled 25 miles in 1/2 hour. If it’s currently 3:00 pm and the destination is 225 miles away, what time will they arriv
dangina [55]

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the speed first to find the time it will take the family to complete the trip.

Given

Distance = d = 25 miles

Time = t = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours

Speed =\frac{d}{t}\\=\frac{25}{0.5}\\=50 miles\ per\ hour

Now,

Distance remaining = 225 miles

Speed = 50 miles per hour

s=\frac{d}{t}\\t=\frac{d}{s}\\t=\frac{225}{50}\\t=4.5\ hours

As we see that the time required to complete the journey is 4.5 hours.

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

A high school basketball team has a budget specifically for towels and extra basketballs. A towel costs $3 and a basketball cost
bonufazy [111]
An equation that can be used is 3T + 18B = 450. Since they know they need 30 towels, substitute 30 for T. The equation becomes 3(30) + 18B = 450. Simplifying, 90 + 18B = 450. Subtract 90 from each side, 18B = 360. Finally, divide each side by 18, B = 20. The maximum number of basketballs that may be purchased is 20.
