First, let us define our variables.

Let

x = age of the father

y = age of the son

z = age of the daughter

 

5 years ago..

(x – 5) = age of the father

(y – 5) = age of the son

(z – 5) = age of the daughter

 

After 18 years...

(x + 18) = age of the father

(y + 18) = age of the son

(z +18) = age of the daughter

 

From the first condition

y = z + 5 à eqn 1

5 years ago

(x-5) = 23 + (y-5) + (z-5)

x –y –z = 18 à eqn 2

after 18 years

(x+18) = 17*[(y +18 –z – 18)]

x – 17y + 17z = -18 à eqn 3

 

solving the 3 equations simultaneously

x = 67

y = 27

z = 22

Jenna wants to build 8 birdhouses. She needs 2 3/5 square feet of plywood for each birdhouse. If the plywood costs $0.56 per squ
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$11.76

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the amount of plywood for all birdhouses.

2 3/5 * 8 = 104/5 or 20.8 or 20 4/5

Now we can solve the cost for all the birdhouses by multiplying the total amount of plywood needed by the price per square foot.

20.8 * 0.56 = $11.648 or estimated $11.65

Remember, the question might be different, so don't submit anything yet. If the people who sell the plywood only sell in integer numbers (meaning you can't buy 4/5 of a square foot of wood but can only by amounts with no fractions), then Jenna must buy 21 square feet of plywood and will have a little bit of wood left over. Now solve just like before.

21 * 0.56 = $11.76

Therefore the answer is $11.76 if she can only buy an integer amount of plywood or estimated $11.65. I think the best answer is 11.76.

Please help! <br><br> 6.2 divided by (2x + 1)= 2 1/3 divided by 4
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

x=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+1)/2 = 2 1/3/4

Multiply 4 on both sides:

2x+1=2 1/3

Rewrite:

2x+1=7/3

Subtract 1 on both sides:

2x=4/3

Divide 2 on both sides:

x=2/3

Thus x=2/3

Hope this helps!
