h = t - 15

h + t = 33

Because we have a value of h, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for t.

t - 15 + t = 33

Add 15 to both sides.

t + t = 48

Combine like terms.

2t = 48

Divide both sides by 2.

t = 24

<h3>Thomas's age is 24.</h3>

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmers' market. So far, he has sold 6 items. Each of his customers buys 2 item

amid [387]

Answer:

More than 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmer's market.

Number of items already sold = 6

So, number of more items to be sold > Total number of items to be sold - Number of items already sold > 20 - 6 > 14

Given that each customer buys 2 items.

Let $c$ be the number of customers.

So, number of items bought be the customers = Number of items bought by each customer multiplied by the number of customers = $2c$

And as per the question statement,

Number of more items to be sold > 14 (as calculated in above step)

$2c>14\\\Rightarrow \bold{c>7}$

Therefore, the answer is: <em>More than 7 additional customers are required</em>.

Ken’s predicted temperature for April is 7ºC. His prediction for May is 2ºC higher than April. He used the number line to solve

tia_tia [17]

Answer: Ken Should have moved 9 units to the right because his prediction for May is 9°C. Moving to the left part of the number line would take Ken into negative degrees. 9°C is warmer than 7°C. Therefore, Ken should have moved 9 units to the right of the number line instead of 2 units to the left.

What is four and five eighths as a improper fraction and a mixed number

Afina-wow [57]

4 5/8 as an improper fraction is 37/8
——> 8*4=32 32+5=37
As a mixed number it is the same I think. 5 can’t decide into 8 so it stays 4 5/8.

Hopefully this helps...
