The sum of their ages equals 80.
Gabrielle is 3 times older than Mikhail
Two numbers that have a sum of 80, with one number being 3 times the other are:
Gabrielle’s age: 60
Mikhail’s age: 20
60 + 20 = 80
20 x 3 = 60
Mikhail is 20 years old.

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the coefficients of z are such that elimination of the z term from the equations is made easy.
Adding equations 1 and 2:
(2x -3y -2z) +(x +3y +2z) = (4) +(-7)
3x = -3
x = -1
Adding equations 2 and 3:
(x +3y +2z) +(-4x -4y -2z) = (-7) +(10)
-3x -y = 3
Substituting for x, we get ...
(-3)(-1) -y = 3
0 = y . . . . . . . . . . . add y-3 to both sides
Then z can be found from any equation. Substituting for x and y in the second equation gives ...
-1 +2z = -7
2z = -6 . . . . . add 1
z = -3 . . . . . .divide by 2
The solution is (x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3).
Answer: there were 345 pieces of chocolate in the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pieces of chocolate there in the box.
0.55 of a box of chocolate are dark chocolate. This means that the number of dark chocolate in the box is 0.55x
0.3 are milk chocolate. This means that the number of milk chocolate in the box is 0.3x
The rest are white chocolate. This means that the number of white chocolate in the box is x(1 - 0.55 - 0.3) = 0.15x
There are 138 pieces more dark chocolate than white chocolate. This means that
0.55x - 0.15x = 138
0.4x = 138
x = 138/0.4
x = 345
Answer:
she would have 30 apples!
Step-by-step explanation:
since each bag weighs 5 pounds, and she needs 10 pounds of apples, she needs to buy two bags. if each bag contains 15 apples and she buys two bags, 15x2=30. hope this helps!
You first divide 30 by 4 to see how long it takes him to run one mile. Then you get 30/4 which simplified is 15/2 minutes
