To find the age of tom we will use the expression 20*3 because tom is three times as old as Sam.

so the answer is 60

Sam is 5
Tom is 5 x 3 = 15

15 years later Sam is 20 (5 + 15 = 20)
Add 15 to Tom's age (15 + 15 = 30)
Tom is 30

A rectangle width is one fourth it’s length, outs are is 9 square units. The equation I(1/4I)=9 can be used to find I, the lengt

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The length of rectangle is 6 units and the width is 1.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L -----> the length of rectangle

W ----> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$A=9\ units^{2}$

$9=LW$ -----> equation A

A rectangle width is one fourth it’s length

$W=\frac{1}{4}L$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for L

$9=L(\frac{1}{4}L)$

$L^{2}=9*4$

$L^{2}=36$

take square root both sides

$L=6\ units$

Find the value of W

$W=\frac{1}{4}(6)$

$W=1.5\ units$

Melissa ran 6 2/5 miles north 2 3/4 west and 2 1/3 south how far did she run

alexgriva [62]

Answer:11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

distance=6 2/5 + 2 3/4 + 2 1/3

d=(5x6+2)/5 + (4x2+3)/4 + (3x2+1)/3

d=32/5 + 11/4 + 7/3

d=(12x32+15x11+20x7) ➗ 60

d=(384+165+140) ➗ 60

d=689 ➗ 60

d=11.5

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stepladder [879]

First, multiply the top equation by 2 and bottom by -3.
60x+60y=900
-60x-75y=-1035
————————
-15y=-135
—————-
-15=-15
y=9

So the answer should be 9.
