Answer: YES!

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First Box: x

Second Box: (x + 9) - 4  = x + 5

Third Box: x + 9

Total: 59

First Box + Second Box + Third Box = Total

     x        +       x + 5              x + 9      =   59

3x + 14 = 59

<u>       -14 </u>  <u>-14 </u>        

3x       =  45

<u>÷3       </u>    <u>÷3   </u>      

        x = 15

Since 15 is a whole number <em>(not a fraction)</em>, then it is possible.

Which square root is between 4 and 5
shusha [124]
Answer:
I’m not sure what you mean by divided, but the square root of 24 would be between 4 and 5.

Explanation:
I translated 4 and 5 into square roots, being the square root of 16 (4^2) and the square root of 25 (5^2).
4 is equal to the square root of 16 just as 5 is equal to the square root of 25.
Of the given square roots in the answers, only the square root of 24 was between the square roots of 16 and 25. Therefore, the square root of 24 is between 4 and 5.

There are four children in a family, two girls, Kate and sally, and two boys, tom and Ben.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Bren=5 years

Tom=7yrs

Sally=4 yrs

Kate=8years

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let Bren's current age be  x, therefore Tom is x+2

-Let Sally's current age be y, therefore Kate is 2y

-Also, given that:

x+x+2=2y+y\\\\2x+2=3y\ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

#We calculate the ages one year ago of Tom and Sally:

\#Tom's \age\\x+2-1=x+1\\\\\# Sally's \ age\\=y-1\\\\\therefore x+1=2(y-1)\\\\x=2y-3\ \ \ \ \ ...ii

#Substitute for x in i;

2x+2=3y\\\\2(2y-3)+2=3y\\\\4y-6+2=3y\\\\y=4\\\\2y=4\times 2=8\\\\2x+2=4+8=12\\\\2x=10\\\\x=5\\\\(x+2)=7
