Answer:
14/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3*4+2
You are given the information that he takes six lessons per week. First we will calculate the total lessons he could potentially take per year.
6 • 52 = 312
He could potentially take 312 lessons in one year.
Now that you know this information, you simply subtract the days he missed from that total.
312 - 5 = 307
Your final answer: Peter took 307 lessons during the year.
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let 
and 
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that 
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that 
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system
We can use the first equation to substitute in the second
And then solve for :
For the second problem, let 
and 
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:
30cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of large rectangle = length x width
= 5 X 9 = 45 cm^2
area of small rectangle = length x width
= 3 X 5 = 15 cm ^2
45 - 15 = 30cm^2
