Answer:

5 years ago

Let Kelly's age be x

Jake's age is 4x

5 years later

Kelly's age is x + 5

Jake's age is 4x+5

The sum of both their ages is 60. The equation will be

x + 5 + 4x + 5 = 60

5x + 10 = 60

5x = 60 - 10

x = 50/5 = 10

So Kelly is (10 + 5) 15 years old.

Jake is (4*10 + 5) = 45 years old

Let cheese wafers = x
chocolate wafers = y

we know they bought 20 total packets so x+y = 20, this can be re-written as x = 20-y

cheese wafers cost 2, so we have 2x
chocolate wafers cost 1, so we have 1y, which is just the letter y

so we know 2x + y = $25

replace x with x=20-y to get:

2(20-y)+y = 25

distribute the parenthesis:

40-2y +y = 25

combine like to terms to get:
40-y = 25

subtract 40 from each side"
-y = -15

divide both sides by -1
y = 15

chocolate wafers was y so they bought 15 chocolate wafers
cheese wafers was x, so they bought 20-15 = 5 cheese wafers
 
using the substitution method was the easiest way to isolate one of the variables in order to find the solution.

Input value for the function machine that gives an output value of 3.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x = –1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

y = √(–2x + 7)

y = 3

x =?

The value of x can be obtained as follow:

y = √(–2x + 7)

3 = √(–2x + 7)

Take the square of both side

3² = –2x + 7

9 = –2x + 7

Collect like terms

9 – 7 = –2x

2 = –2x

Divide both side by –2

x = 2 / –2

x = –1
