x+y=36

2x+2y=72

As twice of 36=72, any two numbers that add up to 36 ,will give a sum of 72 after multiplying them with 2.Therefore ,Benjamin's and David's age can be any set of numbers that sum up to 36.

Answer:Benjamin’s age = 30 and David’s age = 6

Explanation:

Let x be the age of Benjamin
Let y be the age of David

x + y = 36

And 2x + 2y = 72

If we plug 30 for x and 6 for y we get:

30 + 6 = 36
36 = 36

2(30) + 2(6) = 72
60 + 12 = 72
72 = 72

VikaD [51]

Answer:

It will take 3 hours 46 minutes and 8 seconds to use 375 mg of ibrufen.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adult takes 400 mg of ibuprofen. Two hours later, there is 201.6 mg of

ibuprofen left in the persons system

This means that in 2 hours time

400- 201.6= 198.4 mg was used up.

We need only 25 mg in the system

so 400- 25= 375 mg  time is needed

time          mg

2 hour      198.4

x                375

Using the cross product rule

x= 375*2/198.4

x= 3.780 hrs

Which means 3 hours and (0.78* 60)= 46.8 minutes.

It will take 3 hours 46 minutes and 8 seconds to use 375 mg of ibrufen.
