Answer:

In 7 Months both will have same number of comic books.

The both will have 40 comic books in 7 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Number of months be x.

Given:

Tom Has number comic books = 5

Each month he receives number of books = 5

Total Number of books he has after x month can be calculated by sum of number of comic books he has + number of comic books he receives multiplied by number of months

Hence Total Number of books he has after x month = 5+5x

Also Given:

Joe Has number comic books = 145

Each month he send number of books to 1 friend = 5

Number of friends = 3

Hence books send to friend each month = 5\times3 =15

Total Number of books he has after x month can be calculated by Difference of number of comic books he has and number of comic books he send to friends multiplied by number of months

Hence Total Number of books he has after x month = 145-15x

We need to find the number of months in which both will have same number of of comic book.

Hence we can find by making both equation equal we get;

5+5x=145-15x

Combining same terms we get;

5x+15x=145-5\\20x =140\\x=\frac{140}{20}=7 \ months

Hence the will have same number of comic books after 7 months.

Now we need to find the number of books the both had after 7 months:

Tom has = 5+5x=5+5\times7= 5+35=40\ books

Joe has = 145 - 15x = 145 - 15\times7 = 145-105 = 40 \ books

Hence they both will have 40 comic books after 7 months.

sammy is eleven less than five times Jaime's age. if the sum of their ages is 55, how old is each girl? please help me if i dont
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Jaime = 11

Sammy = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Sammy is eleven less than five times Jaime's age. Use parameter (S) to represent Sammy's age, and parameter (J) to represent Jaime's age. Form an equation based on this given information:

S = 5J - 11

It is given that the sum of the two girl's ages is (55), use an equation to represent this.

S + J = 55

Substitute in the expression for the value of (S) in terms of (J),

(5J - 11) + J = 55

Simplify,

6J - 11 = 55

Inverse operations,

6J - 11 = 55

6J = 66

J = 11

Backsolve for the value of (S), substitute in the value of (J) into the equation for (S) and solve,

S = 5(J) - 11

S = 5(11) -11

S = 55 - 11

S = 44
