Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have three people
jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)
wesley= x+1
John= x+2
the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108
when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108
you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105
divide that by 3 which makes x=35
so
jamal is 35
wesley is 36
john is 37
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that 4 days I have 140 copies of a book, 9 days I only have 50 left. We are asked to write an equation 
, where c is number of copies still on hand and t days being available.
We have two points on line (4,140) and (9,50). Now, we will use these points to find slope as:
Now, we will use point-slope form of equation 
and substitute and coordinates of point (9,50) as:
Therefore, our required equation would be .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution by substitution method
3x+5y=7
and 4x-y=5
Suppose,
3x+5y=7→(1)
and 4x-y=5→(2)
Taking equation (2), we have
4x-y=5
⇒y=4x-5→(3)
Putting y=4x-5 in equation (1), we get
3x+5y=7
⇒3x+5(4x-5)=7
⇒3x+20x-25=7
⇒23x-25=7
⇒23x=7+25
⇒23x=32
⇒x=32/23
→(4)
Now, Putting x=32/23
in equation (3), we get
y=4x-5
⇒y=4(32/23)-5
⇒y=(128-115)/23
⇒y=13/23
∴y=13/23 and x=32/23
