Mr. and Mrs. Storey drove 2,400 miles during their vacation. Mr. Storey (y) drove 3 times as many miles as Mrs. Storey (x).

1 answer:

5 0

X + y = 2400
y = 3x

x + 3x = 2400
4x = 2400
x = 2400/4
x = 600 <== Mrs. Storey drove 600 miles

y = 3x
y = 3(600)
y = 1800 <== Mr. Storey drove 1800 miles

Answer:

18=6b, b=3

"sam's furniture was destroyed by a fire. the furniture cost $1200 when it was purchased, but similar new furniture now costs $1

oee [108]

Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)
