The sum of Cathy's and Tony's ages is 65. Eight years ago, Cathy's age was 2/5 of Tony's age. How old are they now?

5 0

Eight years ago, the total of their ages was 16 less, so 49. The total of the "ratio units" of their ages was 2+5 = 7, so each represents 7 years. At that time, Cathy's age was 2*7 = 14, and Tony's age was 5*7 = 35.

Now, they are 8 years older, so their ages now are ...
Cathy is 14+8 = 22
Tony is 35+8 = 43

17. Solve for w: P = 21 + 2w

Viktor [21]

Answer:

w = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 21 +2w

get 2w by its self

p= 21 + 2x

-21 -21

p - 21 = 2w

cancel out p

p(0) - 21 = 2w

-21 = 2w

divide both sides by 2

w= -10.5

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3c + 5w = 16

6c + 2w = 22

-6c - 10w = -32

6c + 2w = 22

-8w = -10

w = 10/8 = 5/4 = $1.25 per lb

3c + 5(1.25) = 16

3c + 6.25 = 16

3c = 9.75

c = $3.25 per lb
