Billy's age is twice Joe's age and the sum of their ages is 45. How old is Billy?

Mathematics

Answer:

30 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe's age can be set to x. Since Billy is twice as old as Joe, his age can be set to 2x. They add up to 45. You can set up an equation, 2x+x=45.

Simplify the equation.

3x=45, x=15

Joe is 15. Billy is 2(15)=30.

Answer:

B will be the answer...

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation in system B is only in terms of y, so we need to use elimination to eliminate the x term from the second equation in system A.

To do that, we need to multiply the first equation by 5.

5 (-x − 2y = 7)

-5x − 10y = 35

Add to the second equation.  Notice the x terms cancel out.

(-5x − 10y) + (5x − 6y) = 35 + (-3)

-16y = 32

Combining this new equation with the first equation from system A will get us system B.

-x − 2y = 7

-16y = 32

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————

What is the exact solution to the equation 4^5x=3^(x-2)<br> list the steps to get the answer
scoray [572]

Answer: x = -0.377

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

4^(5*x) = 3^(x - 2)

Now we can use the fact that:

Ln(A^x) = x*Ln(A)

Then we can apply Ln(.) to both sides of the equation to get:

Ln(4^(5*x)) = Ln(3^(x - 2))

(5*x)*Ln(4) = (x - 2)*Ln(3)

(5*x)*Ln(4) - x*Ln(3) = -2*Ln(3)

x*(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -2*Ln(3)

x = -2*Ln(3)/(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -0.377
