Let Morgan = X

Then Mary = 5X ( 5 times as old).


The sum is 72, so 5x +x = 72

5x +x = 6x:

6x = 72

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 72 / 6

x = 12

Morgan is 12 years old.

Mary is 5(12) = 60 years old.

Which is a simplified form of the expression -2b – 3(2b + 1)?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property to expand this.

The property is:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

So, the part " -3(2b+1) " will becomes:

-3(2b+1) = (-3)(2b) + (-3)(1) = -6b - 3

So, the problem becomes:

-2b -3(2b+1) = -2b -6b -3

Now, we add like terms:

-2b - 6b - 3

(-2-6)b - 3

-8b - 3

This is the correct answer, answer choice C

My parents recently moved to the Poconos, they got 30 or more inches of snow from this last snow storm. It took my Dad 2 hours t
never [62]

To determine how much will it take to clean a 120ft driveway considering that it took him 2hs to clear 10ft and that the cleaning rate is constant, you can use cross multiplication:

10ft______2hs

120ft_____xhs

If the cleaning rate is the same, then the ratios between both are the same:

\frac{2}{10}=\frac{x}{120}

From this expression, you can determine the time by multiplying both sides of the equal sign by 120

\begin{gathered} 120(\frac{2}{10})=\frac{120x}{120} \\ 24=x \end{gathered}

It will take him 24 hours to clear the 120ft driveway.
