Answer:
the Peter age be 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let assume peter be
And, then mary is 2p ÷ 3
So
The equation would be
2p ÷ 3 - 2 = 1 ÷ 2 (p + 5)
4p - 12 = 3p + 15
p = 27
So Peter age be 27
And, the mary age is
= 2 (27) ÷ 3
= 18
Hence, the Peter age be 27
Answer:
m = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9m + 13 = 4
subtract 13 from both sides
9m = 4 - 13
9m = - 9
divide both sides by 9
m = - 1 (negative 1)
28 white ducks swimming in pond
2*(28 white ducks) = 56 brown ducks flew and landed in pond
(28 white ducks)/2 = 14 white ducks remained in the pond
Ducks remaining in the pond (at this point):
(14 white ducks) + (56 brown ducks) = <u><em>70 ducks in all</em></u>
To round it to the nearest unit it would be 38. To round it to the nearest ten it would be 40.
Answer:Initiation fee is $400 while monthly fee is $10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial fee be x which is fixed while the monthly fee be y
At the end of 5 months, 450 was paid
This means that;
x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(i)
At the end of 10 months, $500 was paid
Mathematically, this means that;
x + 10y = 500•••••••••••(ii)
now we solve both equations simultaneously to get the value of x and y
our equation ii can be rewritten as;
x + 5y + 5y = 500
we can now insert equation i directly into this
450 + 5y = 500
5y = 500-450
5y = 50
y = 50/5
y = $10
From x + 5y = 450
let’s insert the calculated value of y
x + 5(10) = 450
x + 50 = 450
x = 450-50
x = $400
