2x+x+16 = 70 is the equation for their combined ages in 8 years. combine like terms to get 3x+16=70. subtract sixteen from both sides to get 3x=54. divide by three to get x = 18. so feeder is 18, and mary is 36.
Pay attention in math class! in higher grade levels, this is gonna show up EVERYDAY! no joke
In these types of problems, you need to use PEMDAS also.
((4)+3)+(13(-2)-5)
(7)+(-31)
7-31
-24
<u><em>C</em></u>
so if you do 1/tan(10) in the calculator you get 5.67128
round the answer as needed
The solution to the system of equation is (2, 7)
<h3>System of equation</h3>
Given the system of equation expressed as:
3x – y = -1 * 2
x – 2y = -12 * 1
________________
6x – 2y = -2
x – 2y = -12
Subtract to have;
6x-x = -2-(-12)
5x = 10
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into 2 to have:
2 - 2y = -12
-2y = -14
y = 7
Hence the solution to the system of equation is (2, 7)
