Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
1. Mickey's bowling score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score
2. The sum of their scores is 228
We need to find the score of each one
Assume that the score of Minnie is x
∵ Minnie's score = x
∵ Mickey's score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score
- That means subtract 16 from 3 times Minnie's score
∴ Mickey's score = 3 x - 16
∵ The sum of their scores is 228
- Add their scores and equate the sum by 228
∴ x + 3 x - 16 = 228
- Add like terms in the left hand side
∴ 4 x - 16 = 228
- Add 16 for both sides
∴ 4 x = 244
- Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 61
Substitute the value of x to find their scores
∵ Minnie's score is x
∴ Minnie's score = 61
∵ Mickey's score is 3 x - 16
∴ Mickey's score = 3(61) - 16 = 167
Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Answer: 562.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok...Im <em>PRETTY </em>sure this is right, because you multiply 5 (5 years till 2025) times 7.5 (the rate of decrease in price) and subtract that from 500, so that would be 600-37.5, which gives you 562.5
Answer:
5/8 of a quart.
Step-by-step explanation:
That would be 28/32 - 1/4
= 28/32 - 8 /32
= 20/32
= 5/8 of a quart.

I'm going to take a guess at this and say what you meant is 2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
Step One
Find out the power of 7 that will equal 2401.
You could do it like this.
7^y = 2401 and just guess at some values.
y 7^y
1 7
2 49
3 7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2401 So the answer is 4
7^4 = 2401
Step 2
Equate the powers.
2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
7^4 = 7^ (6 - 2x)
4 = 6 - 2x Subtract 6 from both sides.
4 - 6 = - 2x
-2 = - 2x divide by - 2
-2/-2 = x
x = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<answer
