Answer:

Since, Robin is twice as old as Earl,

Thus, the ratio of the age of robin and earl = 2 : 3

Let the age of robin = 2x and the age of earl = 3x

Where x is any number,

According to the question,

3×Age of Adam = 2x + 6

Age of Adam = 1/3(2x+6)

Also, Age of Adam = Age of earl - 8

⇒ 1/3(2x+6) = 3x - 8

⇒ 2x + 6 = 9x - 24

⇒ -7x = - 30

⇒ x = 30/7

Hence, the age of Robin = 2x = 2×30/7 = 60/7 years

The age of Earl = 3x = 3×30/7=90/7 years

The age of Adam = 34/7 years

Consider the system of equations. y = −2x + 4 y = − 1/3x − 1
ipn [44]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have two values for y. Since y=y, this means that −2x + 4 and − 1/3x − 1 are equal as well, so we can put them in an equation and solve for x.

−2x + 4 = − 1/3x − 1

We subtract 4 from both sides.

-2x=-1/3x-5

We add 1/3 x to both sides.

-5/3x=-5

We divide both sides by -1 2/3.

x=3

Now, we plug this into one of the original equations to find y.

y=-2(3)+4

y=-6+4

y=-2

Therefore, the solution is (3,-2) or x=3 and y=-2.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

Pie
To determine the fraction of her classmates with dogs as pets, we simply multiply the two given fractions based from the survey. 

                                       Pets = (2/3)(5/6) = 5/9

Thus, there are 5/9 of Ruby;s car.
