This year, when Latifa and Jameel add their ages, the sum is 29. Latifa’s age is 10 less than twice Jameel’s age. The system of

equations that represents this situation is { L+J=29 { L=2J-10. (L is Latifa’s age and J is Jameel’s age). How old is Latifa?

Answer:

Jameel is 13 and Laitfa is 13 x 2 - 10 = 16

16 + 13 = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has already been given to us, so we just have to solve it.

According to the question,

L + J = 29

L = 2J - 10

L

2J - 10 + J = 29

add 10 both sides

2J + J = 29 + 10 = 39

3J = 39

J = 39/3 = 13

Done!

Answer:

$x=27\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because AC || DE.... (given)$

$\therefore m\angle CAD= m\angle EDF\\ (corresponding \: \angle s)$

$\therefore m\angle BAD= m\angle EDF\\(\because B\in \overleftrightarrow{AC})$

$\therefore m\angle BAD= 2x\\(\because m\angle EDF=2x)$

$In\:\triangle BAD,$

$m\angle BAD+m\angle BDA+m\angle ABD= 180\degree$

$2x+2x+72\degree = 180\degree$

$4x= 180\degree -72\degree$

$4x= 108\degree$

$x= \frac {108\degree}{4}$

$x=27\degree$

An office manager spent $4870 on a

Andrews [41]

Answer:

6 chairs

8 desks

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we assume that all 14 items he bought were chairs, if that was to be true then the office manager would spend...

125 x 14 = 1750$

We see that he spent less then he should have so now we start to substitute desks instead of chairs, and we have to keep in mind that if we change 1 chair to a desk then the total will increase by...

515 - 125 = 390$

Now we just find the difference between the needed total and the total that we get if the office manager would by only chairs and then divide the result by 390 in order to find the number of desks, and so we get...

(4870 - 1750) / 390 = 3120 / 390 = 8 desks

And now that we know the number of desks we just subtract the number of desks from 14 and get the number of chairs, and so...

14 - 8 = 6 chairs
