Ages of Dan and Cary are 29 and 33 respectively.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Form equations out of the given details. Let the age of Dan be x, then age of Cary is x + 4.
In 7 years, sum of their ages = 76
⇒ (x + 7) + (x + 4 + 7) = 76
⇒ 2x + 18 = 76
⇒ 2x = 58
⇒ x = 29
Step 2:
Calculate age of Cary.
⇒ x + 4 = 33
we have the expression

Evaluate for x=-4/5 and y=1/3
substitute the values of x and y in the given expression

the answer is 32/15
If there are 150 total instruments in said Orchestra, we'll need to divide that number in half.
75, simple enough. Now we know that half of 150 is 75.
Start by writing your problem like this: 150= 75w+37.5b
That equation is all I can think of, because 37.5 is half of 75, which means that's roughly the number you're looking for. Sorry if this doesn't help much<span />
The scale factor of two means you need to multiply the original length by 2:
9 x 2 = 18
The new length would be 18 cm.
