Write an equation where x = Justin's orders 
93 = (x) + (2x) + (x + 5)
Simplify the equation:
93 = 4x + 5 
Subtract 5 from both sides:
88 = 4x
Divide 4 on both sides:
22 = x
Solve for the orders:
x = 22 = Justin
22(2) = 44 = Chang
22 + 5 = 27 = Heather. 


Hope this helps!

Let the # of orders sold by these 3 people be represented by H, C and J.
Then H+C+J=93.
C=2J
H=J+5
Find H, C and J.

Let's eliminate C.  Substitute 2J for C in      H+C+J=93:  H+2J+J = 93
Now let's eliminate H:  Subst. J+5 for H in this last equation:

J+5   +   2J   +   J  =  93   =>       4J + 5 = 93   => 4J = 88.

Thus, J = 88/4 = 22.

J handles 22 orders.
H handles 22+5 (or 27) orders.
C handles the rest:  2(22) (or 44) orders.

Check:  do the numbers 22, 27 and 44 add up to 93, as they must?  Yes.

Chaucer explores the idea that appearances can be deceiving through the character of the old woman. how does this theme relate t
Inessa [10]
Since the plot of "The Wife of Bath's Tale" has at its heart a loathly lady who shape-shifts into a beautiful, young damsel, we might expect appearances to be important here. And they are, just not for the reason you might think. For instead of this being a tale about how a knight learns to appreciate people for what's on the inside and that outer appearances don't matter, it's a tale about how a knight learns to give up sovereignty to his wife. That sovereignty includes power over the body. The loathly lady's physical appearance becomes an important symbol of that body, so that, at the end of the tale, when she offers her husband a choice about how he wants her to look, she's in essence offering him control of her body. He grants this control back to her, thus proving his understanding of the doctrine of women's sovereignty in marriage. Medieval stories don't necessarily go in for the whole 'appearances don't mean anything' maxim anyway, as we've seen in the "General Prologue<span>."</span>

What does it mean when the ratio of person 1’s income to person 2’s incomes is 1 to 3 or 3 to 1? Explain.
viktelen [127]

Answer with explanation:

3:1 means that person 1's income is three times person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 150 per hour, person 2 gets 30 per hour.

1:3 means that person 1's income is one third of person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 40 per hour, person 2 gets 120 per hour.
