Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set:

x=12

x+2x+5=62

12+2*12+5=62

12+24+5=62

41=62

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set:

x=15

x+2x+5=62

15+2*15+5=62

15+30+5=62

50=62

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set:

x=18

x+2x+5=62

18+2*18+5=62

18+36+5=62

=59

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set:

x=19

x+2x+5=62

19+2*19+5=62

19+38+5=62

62=62

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation:

x+y=62

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Replacing the Jenny´s age we have:

19+y=62

Solving for y:

y=62-19

y=43

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62 
      -5      -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3     /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62.  Jenny is 19 years old.  Hope this helped.

A student athlete run 3 1/3 miles in 30 minutes A professional runner can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes . how far can the
IrinaK [193]
The professional runner can run 4 1/6 miles in 30 minutes.

Since the professional can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes, we multiply 3 1/3 by 1 1/4:

(3 1/3)(1 1/4)

Convert each to an improper fraction (multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator):
10/3(5/4) = 50/12 = 25/6 = 4 1/6.
