Richard and Teo have a combined age of 37. Richard is 13 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Teo is 8 years old and Richard is 29 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

Assume that Teo is x years old

∵ Teo is x years old

∵ Richard is 13 years older than twice Teo's age

→ It means multiply x by 2, then add 13 to get the age of Richard

∴ Richard's age = 2x + 13

∵ Richard and Teo have a combined age of 37 years

→ Add their ages and equate the sum by 37

∴ x + 2x + 13 = 37

→ Add the like terms

∵ (x + 2x) + 13 = 37

∴ 3x + 13 = 37

→ Subtract 13 from both sides

∵ 3x + 13 - 13 = 37 - 13

∴ 3x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 3 to find x

∴ x = 8

∵ x represents Teo's age

∴ Teo is 8 years old

→ Substitute the value of x in the expression of Richard age to find his age

∵ Richard age = 2(8) + 13 = 16 + 13 = 29

∴ Richard is 29 years old

∴ Teo is 8 years old and Richard is 29 years old

Salim has 5 boxes of paint jars. Each box has the same number of paint jars. His teacher gives him 6 more paint jars. Now he has

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

7 jars per box

Step-by-step explanation:

He now has 41 jars. How many did he have before his teacher gave him 6?

Well, 41-6=35. He had 35 jars before his teacher gave him more.

It says there was an equal amount of jars in each box. There are 5 boxes. Divide the total amount of jars (35) by the amount of boxes to find out how many jars are in each box.

35 jars / 5 boxes = 7 jars / box

In regina, saskatchewan, the average mid-afternoon temperature in january is -12.6°C.The average mid afternoon temperature in ju

Andrews [41]

Finding the difference between the two temperatures, it is found that Regina is 38.7ºC degrees colder in January than in July.

----------------------------

The mid-afternoon temperature in January is of -12.6ºC.
In July, it is of 26.1ºC.
The difference of the temperatures is given by:

$26.1 - (-12.6) = 26.1 + 12.6 = 38.7$

From the difference of 38.7ºC, there are two interpretations:

Regina is 38.7ºC degrees colder in January than in July.
Regina is 38.7ºC degrees warmer in July than in January.
