Let Daniel's age be 'x' years , hence, Lisa's age is (x - 5) years. Let Grandma's age be 'y' = 54 years.
Hence,
x(x - 5) = 2/3 × y
x² - 5x = 2 × 54 years / 3
x² - 5x = 36 years
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
∆ = (-5)² - 4(1)(-36) = 25 + 144 = 169
√∆ = √169 = 13
x1 = (5+13)/2, x2 = (5-13)/2
x1 = 9, x2 = -4
Since, age can't be negative,
Daniel's age = x = 9 years.
You need to include how wide the walls are. but once you find how wide the walls are (X) then multiply it by how tall a the walls are (8 feet) and you will get the area of one wall. Take that answer and multiply it by 3 then multiply that by how much the paint costs
Answer:
The answer is that the cost will be a total of: $142.05. That is $125.80 for Watermelon that weighs 185 lbs and $16.25 for 5 lbs of tomatoes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Watermelons are .68 / lb and tomatoes are 3.25 / lb.
Let w = watermelon weight and tomato weight.
An equation would be:
.68w + 3.25t = Total cost
For 185 lb of Watermelon and 5 lbs of tomatoes:
.68(185) + 3.25(5) =
$125.80 + $16.25 = $142.05
