Let James be x years old
Joe = 10 + x
After 8 years
18 + x = 3(x)
18 + x = 3x
18 = 2x
x = 9
Joe is 19
James is 9
<u>Answer:</u>
Cost of package of paper = 4$
Cost of stapler = 7$
<u>Explanation:</u>
Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.
Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$
Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.
we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$
Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62
Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->
15x + 20y = 200
15x + 18y= 186
Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4
which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$
and one stapler = y = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:
The total of two whole numbers one after another is 33. for example 10 + 11 (two consecutive integers) = 21
Answer:
Difference between the original and current volumes = 4013140.30 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Largest pyramid has the square base with one edge = 754 feet
Area of the square base = (Side)²
= (754)²
= 568516 square feet
Volume of the pyramid = 
= 
= 91152065.3 cubic feet
After erosion,
Area of the base = (745)² = 555025 square feet
Volume of the pyramid = 
= 87138925 cubic feet
Difference between the original and current volumes of the pyramid
= 91152065.30 - 87138925
= 4013140.30 cubic feet
