Imagine there are 2 triangles solve for one 3*3=9\2=4.5
Then add
4.5+4.5=9
Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then
Alvin's age = 2x , that is
y = 2x ............... equation 1
The sum of their ages is 63 implies
x + y = 63 .............. equation 2
Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have
x + 2x = 63
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
Answer:
The number of horses that can eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5 stacks = 35 days
Therefore;
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5/5 stacks (1 stack) = 35 days/5 = 7 days
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days
The time it takes 16 horses/16 to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days × 16 = 112 days
Therefore;
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 1 stack of hay = 112 days
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 × 1 stack of hay = 112 days × 4 = 448 days
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 stacks of hay = 448 days
Therefore, given that (448 days)/(8 days/horse) = 56 horse, we have;
The number of horses that will eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses.
Answer:
25.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
So Bradley's speed can be modeled by the equation y=2x+40 where y=speed, x=time in hours after noon, and b=initial speed
So 12:15 is 15 minutes after noon, which is also 0.25 or 1/4 of an hour after noon. This is the x-value. Plug this into the equation to get his speed at 12:15
y=2(0.25)+40
y=0.5+40
y=40.5
So his speed was 40.5 at the time and since he was going 15 miles over the speed limit, the speed limit is 15 less than his speed
40.5 - 15 = 25.5
