Let the cost of one sheep and one cow be x and y respectively.
Therefore,

5x+5y=129
10x+17y =177

Solving the two equations,
Multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second from the results;
10x+10y = 258
10x+17y = 177
0x-7y = 81 => y= $-11.57 (cannot be a negative value). The details of the question need to be checked.

Now,
5x+5y = 129 => 5x-57.86 =129=>5x = 186.86 => x= $37.37

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son     = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x     = 3y - 9 + 3

x     = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x       = 2y + 10 - 5

x       = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4      = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years

300-7 [4 (3+5)]+3 to the 3rd power
Allisa [31]
The expression to solve is the
300-7 [4 (3+5)] + 3 to the 3rd power
3 to the third power means 3³, so
300-7 [4(3+5)]+3³
= 300 - 7 [4(8)] + 27
= 300 - 7[32] + 27
= 300 - 224 + 27
= 76 + 27
= 103
so, by solving this we get 103
