(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
     28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
     24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
     24/2 = p....simplify
     12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week

X=53+44+46? Is this right or no?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

X= 143°

You could do it your way or as you can see, there's a right angle, which equals 90°, so you could either add 44+46+53 or 90+53. You get the same answer, which is 143°.

Casey was twice as old as his sister 3 years ago. Now he is 5 years older than his sister. How old is Casey?
Margarita [4]
Let x is Casey's sister age.
<span>3 years ago: 
</span><span>Casey was twice as old as his sister: 2a - 3
Now: 
</span><span>he is 5 years older than his sister: a + 5

2a - 3 = a + 5
subtract a to both sides
2a - 3 -a = a + 5 - a
simplify
a - 3 = 5
add 3 to both sides
a - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3
simplify
a = 8

His sister age is 8 years old now.
</span>Now: 
he is 5 years older than his sister: a + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13
<span>
proof: 
so 3 years ago,
his sister age: 8 - 3 = 5
Casey age 3 years ago:
13 - 3 = 10 (</span>C<span>asey was twice as old as his sister 3 years ago</span>)
<span>
Answer:
Casey is 13 years old now.
