Answer: fluffy is 11 years old
Scuffy is 8 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the present age of Fluffy the cat.
Let y represent the present age of Scuffy the dog.
Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. This means that
x = y + 3 - - - - - -- - - - - 1
Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy's age. This means that
5y - 6 = 3x + 1
5y - 3x = 1 + 6
5y - 3x = 7 - - - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
5y - 3(y + 3) = 7
5y - 3y - 9 = 7
5y - 3y = 7 + 9
2y = 16
y = 16/2 = 8
x = y + 3
x = 8 + 3 = 11
Move the decimal 2 places to the right
8.4 becomes 840
I’m having a hard time understanding your question
Answer: n= -20?
Step-by-step:
Simplify both sides of the equation
1/5n+4=0
Then subtract 4 from both sides
1/5n + 4 - 4 = 0 - 4
1/5n= -4
Then multiply both sides by 5
5*(1/5n)=5*(-4)
The area of a rectangle is the result of multiplying its length times its width. So the rectangles length and width are factor pairs of the area.
The number 36 has four non-equal, whole number factor pairs: (1,36) ; (2,18) ; (3,13) ; (4,9)
*note : (6,6) makes a square not rectangle
The number 15 has only two whole number factor pairs (1,15) and (3,5)
