Answer:
a) Here we have:
"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
O = age of the oldest child.
Then we know that:
Y = O - 7
O = 18
Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:
Y = 18 - 7 = 11.
b) Here we have:
"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
M = age of the middle child.
Here we have only one equation:
M = Y + 5.
Answer:
Positive 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite of negative 5 is positive 5.
The point will be on the positive side, which is above sea level. So it will be on 5 above the zero.
Answer:
35 hotdogs and 52 sodas sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the number of hotdogs sold, x>0
y = the number of sodas sold, y>0
At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50:
1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50
You sold a total of 87 hotdogs and sodas combined:
x + y = 87
We have the following system of equations:
1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50
x + y = 87
You divide to get the answer
