Answer:

Joe is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by creating two different equations, one for each fact that we know about their ages.

Say that J is Joe's age

Say that T is Tim's age

Our first equation would then be:

4J + 2T = 50

J - 2 = T

Now that we know that T is J - 2, we can plug that in to the first equation.

4J + 2(J - 2) = 50

We can simplify this equation to solve for J

4J + 2J - 4 = 50

6J = 54

J = 9

Joe is 9 years old

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4 3/8 cups of flour needed for 60 cookies

Explanation:

You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line-y=-x+6
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

y=x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

if lines are parallel then that means the slope (m) is the same so the only thing left to change is the y-intercept (b). this can be anything but probably shouldn't be what the original was
