How old am i if 200 reduced by 2 times my age equals 16?

Anna [14]

Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...

200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16

200 - 2x = 16

Now let's solve for x to find "my age"

First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x

-2x = -184

Divide each side by -2 to isolate x

x = -184/-2
x = 92

I'm 92 years old!

Suppose you have just enough money, in coins, to pay for a gallon of milk priced at $2.40. You have 12 coins, all quarters and d

wel

The answer is
q + d = 12
0.25q + 0.10d = 2.40

q - the number of quarters
d - the number of dimes

You have 12 <span>coins, all quarters and dimes:
q + d = 12

The value of 1 quarter is $0.25.
The value of 1 dime is $0.10.
Therefore, if you want to pay </span>$2.40 you will have q quarters of value $0.25(0.25q) and d dimes of value $0.10d (0.10d).
The second equation is:
0.25q + 0.10d = 2.40
