Answer:

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>

<em />

Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y

<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>

x = 4y + 3

Also,

<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>

x + y = 58

or x = 58 - y

Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:

x = 4y + 3\\58-y = 4y + 3\\58-3=4y+y\\55=5y\\y=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

We know

x = 58 - y

so,

x = 58 - 11

x = 47

So,

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Total = \$103.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount =\$160

D_1 = 30\% --- first discount

D_2 = 10\% --- second discount

Sales\ Tax = 7.5\%

Required

Determine the amount paid

First, we add the total discount:

D = D_1  + D_2

D = 30\% + 10\%

D = 40\%

If she got a discount of 40%, then she paid 60% (i.e. 100% - 40%)

So:

Amount = 60\% * \$160

Amount = \$96

Calculate the sales tax

Sales\ Tax = 7.5\% * \$96

Sales\ Tax = \$7.2

Total = \$96 + \$7.2

Total = \$103.20

Using the following image, solve for SR. Look at the image closely.
iren [92.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume

SR = 2x + 23

RQ = x + 21

if that is true, then the situation is completely simple :

14 = (2x + 23) + (x + 21) = 3x + 44

3x = -30

x = -10

SR = 2×-10 + 23 = -20 + 23 = 3

RQ = -10 + 21 = 11
