Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Dan's age
3x be James'age
Paul 2(3x+x)=6x+2x
Suming all ages
x+3x+6x+2x=120
Solving for x
12x=120
x=10 (Dan's age)
3×=30 (James'age)
6×+2×=80(Paul's age)
Answer:
You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 200 of Continental Mocha to use up all the eggs and cream.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a first order equation
I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.
The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 700 eggs in stock, so:
2x + y = 700.
The problem also states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream and that each quart of Continental Mocha uses 3 cups of cream. There are 1350 cups of cream in stock, so:
3x + 3y = 1350
Now we have to solve the following system of equations
1) 2x + y = 700
2) 3x + 3y = 1350
I am going to write y as function of x in 1) and replace it in 2)
y = 700 - 2x
3x + 3(700 - 2x) = 1350
3x + 2100 - 6x = 1350
-3x = -750 *(-1)
3x = 750
x = 250
You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla
Now, replace it in 1)
y = 700 - 2x
y = 700 - 2(250)
y = 700 - 500
y = 200.
You should make 200 quarts of Continental Mocha
-1/12 - (-11/12) would change into -1/12 + 11/12 because a double negative (bold print) would become a positive. The answer to the new problem would be 10/12 or 5/6 (depending on if it says to simplify).
