<span>1. Martina is given to be 14 years older than Joey who is x years old. Hence, the age of Martina can be expressed as,
x + 14
2. If Joey's current age is x then in 5 years he will become x+5 years old.
3. Martina's age will be her current age added with 5 making it, x+14+5 or x + 19.
4. The equation that would best represent the given scenario in this item is:
x + 19 = 3(x + 5)
5. From the given above, the value of x is equal to 2. This is Joey's current age.
6. The current age of Martina is x + 14 which is equal to 16.</span>
Answer:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: We see that it took James 10 minutes to go 0.5 miles, so to get how many miles an hour James is traveling, we need to get the miles to 1. To do this, multiply by 2, and this will give you that it took James 20 minutes to go 1 mile. This is option C.
x= hot dogs
y= soda
Total sold
1 x + 1 y = 87 .............1
2 x 0.50 y = 78.50 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -0.50
Multiply (2) by 1.00
-0.50 x -0.50 y = -43.50
2 x + 0.50 y = 78.50
Add the two equations
1 x = 35.00
/ 1
x = 35.00
plug value of x in (1)
1 x + 1 y = 87
35 + y = 87
y = 87 -35
y = 52
y = 52.00
x= 35 hot dogs
y= 52 soda
