To be able to give the answer to this item, we are to represent first with any variables the amount he earns each weekend for mowing the same field. Also, we represent the number of weeks he had worked by the variable y. The total amount of money he will have after working for y weeks is,
T = xy
Since, we are not given with any other information of the other expenses that have to be paid then we can say that if T is already equal to the price of the new lawnmower then, Tom will be able to purchase it and begin his lawn mowing business in due time.

Answer:
Son's Age: 11
Mary's Age: 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let set Mary and her son as variables,
M = Mary's age
S = Mary's son age
<u>Breakdown:</u>
"Mary is three times as old as her son"
M = 3S
"In <em>12 years</em>, Mary's age will be one less than <u>twice her son's</u> age"
M <em>+ 12</em> = <u>2</u>(S <em>+ 12</em>) - 1
we add 12 to both sides as it will be in 12 years for both
We know that M = 3S, so we plug this in
3S + 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1
Now solve for <em>S (son's age),</em>
3S + 12 - 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1 - 12
3S = 2(S + 12) - 13
3S = 2S + 24 - 13
3S - 2S = 2S - 2S + 24 - 13
S = 24 - 13
S = 11
To find <u>Mary age</u>, plug in her son age ,
M = 3S
M = 3(11)
M = 33

Answer:
The required equation is (1) and the number of boys is 211.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of boys be x.
It is given that there are 100 more girls than boys. It means the number of girls is x+100.
The total number of students is 522.
Number of boys + Number of girls = 522
... (1)
Combine like terms.
Subtract 100 from both the sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore the required equation is (1) and the number of boys is 211.
