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

The cash drawer of the market contains $227. There are six more $5 bills than $10 bills. The number of $1 bills is two more than

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There are 122 one dollar bills, 11 five dollar bills and 5 ten dollar bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are bills of one dollar, five dollars and ten dollars on the cash drawer, therefore the sum of all of them multiplied by their respective values must be equal to the total amount of money on the drawer. We will call the number of one dollar bills, five dollar bills and ten dollar bills, respectively "x","y" and "z", therefore we can create the following expression:

$x + 5*y + 10*z = 227$

We know that there are six more 5 dollar bills than 10 dollar bills and that the number of 1 dollar bills is two more than 24 times the number of 10 dollar bills, therefore:

$y = z + 6\\x = 2 + 24*z$

Applying these values on the first equation, we have:

$2 + 24*z + 5*(z + 6) + 10*z = 227\\2 + 24*z + 5*z + 30 + 10*z = 227\\39*z + 32 = 227\\39*z = 227 - 32\\39*z = 195\\z = \frac{195}{39}\\z = 5$

Applying z to the formulas of y and x, we have:

$y = 5 + 6 = 11\\x = 2 + 24*5 = 122$

There are 122 one dollar bills, 11 five dollar bills and 5 ten dollar bills.

Eileen drove for 85 minutes. This is 21 more minutes than one third the number of minutes Ethan drove. How do I put this into an

Lapatulllka [165]

So let's start out by labeling Ethan as X

Since 85 is 1/3 of what Ethan drove, that means Ethan drove 3 times of 85.

85= (3x) -21
85 -21 = 3x
60=3x
20 = x

A car traveled 120 miles driving 60 miles per hour. The trip took 2 hours.

Ugo [173]

To answer this all you need to do is divide 120 by 50

120/50
2.4

So it will take 2 hours and 24 minutes (.4 of 60 to get the 24)
