Answer:

Joe is 14.

Martha is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the variables and information from the question to make equations.

If Joe's age is half Martha's:

(1/2)m = j     OR     2j = m

If their ages combined is 42:

m + j = 42

We can substitute the equation m=2j into equation m + j = 42, replacing "m".

m + j = 42    Substitute m for 2j

2j + j = 42     Combine like terms, terms with same varables

3j = 42     Divide both sides by 3 to isolate j

j = 14       Joe's age

Since j = 14, we can substitute it into equation m=2j to find "m".

m = 2j       Substitute j for 14

m = 2(14)     Simplify

m = 28       Martha's age

Therefore Joe is 14 and Martha is 28.

Science ignores

Neither beliefs or opinions. Science is open to all opinions and beliefs and can use them to make sense. You could use it to connect with your original beliefs.

mote1985 [20]
Entire distance = 1,320
Entire time = 5 hours

bus avg = 40 km/h
plane avg = 600 km/h

Working this by trial and error
1 hour bus 4 hour plane = 40 + 2,400 = 2,800 distance (too high)
2 hour bus 3 hour plane = 80 + 1,800 = 1,880 distance (too high)
3 hour bus 2 hour plane = 120 + 1,200 = 1,320 distance (Correct!!)

So, they traveled 3 hours by bus and 2 hours by plane
(yes, you had the right answer).

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of Boyle's law: a law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature. There is thus a relationship between volume and pressure of the gas thus option B and C are incorrect.
