Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Casey = x

Age of Ralph = y

According to given statement;

x = 6y     Eqn 1

In two years

x+2=4(y+2)

x+2=4y+8

x = 4y+8-2

x = 4y+6     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

6y=4y+6 \\6y-4y=6\\2y=6

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\y=3

Putting y=3 in Eqn 1

x=6(3)\\x=18

Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

First look at the given numbers, especially 123 degrees which if you add up the other side it equals 180 degrees so:
180-123= 57 
Ok now you know two sides of the triangle and you know that all the 3 sides add up to 360 degrees so:
57+75= 132
180-132= 48

Hugo recurved $100 for his birthday.He then saves 20$ per week until he had a total of $460 to buy a printer. Use a. Equation to
SashulF [63]

Answer:

18 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to use an equation to show the number of weeks it took Hugo who received a certain amount in his birthday and continually saved a certain amount before he could gather a certain amount of money.

In this question, we understand that Hugo wants to buy a printer that costs $460. Fortunately, he had his birthday and he received $100 bucks. Now, let’s say the number of weeks he had to save for is w and he saves 20 per week. This means the total amount he hit from his savings would be 20w

Mathematically, we can use the equation below to model this scenario;

100 + 20(w) = 460

20w = 460 - 100

20w = 360

w = 360/20

w = 18 weeks
