Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.

Susan made 10 baskets.

Bill made 17 baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.

Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.

Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.

Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that

x = y + 5

Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that

z = 2y - 3

Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that

x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42

4y + 2 = 42

4y = 42 - 2 = 40

y = 40/4 = 10

x = y + 5 = 10 + 5

x = 15

z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3

z = 20 - 3 = 17

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:the relative ages of the rocks exposed in the circle cliff area are given below.

1. older rocks are exposed in the center and younger rocks in the flanking flatirons.

2. younger rocks are exposed in the center and older rocks in the flanking flatirons.

Step-by-step explanation: this is because whenever older rocks are exposed in circle cliffs, exposure occur at the center while younger rocks will be exposed in the flanking flatirons at this time.

2. But when younger rocks are exposed in contrast to the older rocks, these younger rocks are exposed at the center while the older ones receive exposure at the flanking flatirons.

Note that both cases interchange, exposure of a particular rock occur at the center and the next category of rock receive theirs at flanking flatirons.
