Answer:

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the age of the grinkgo tree

y -----> the age of the dogwood tree

z -----> the age of the blue spruce tree

we know that

x=3y-2 ------> equation A

z=8 ----> equation B

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2z)

substitute the value of z

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2(8))

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+16) -----> equation C

equate equation A and equation C and solve for y

3y-2=\frac{1}{2}(y+16)

6y-4=(y+16)

6y-y=16+4

5y=20

y=4

Find the value of x (equation A or equation C)

x=3(4)-2=10

therefore

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

I Need Help Please And This Is Due In 1 Hour
alex41 [277]

So the first one is 1 square meter of ceiling, and it says 1 square meter of cieling is 10.75. <em>So the first one is just that, 10.75</em>

The second one says 10 square meters, so just multiply 10.75, by 10.

In which case you get <em>107.5.</em> So that's the answer.

Third one, it gives you how many ceiling tiles you have. So you divide the 100 tiles by 10.75, which gives you 9.30232558, which becomes <em>9.3</em>

I'm sure you can figure out the last one.

20 = 7x + 2 - 4x <br> What does x equal
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

20 = 7x + 2 - 4x

7x + 2 - 4x  = 20    (switch the sides)

7x - 4x + 2 = 20     (group the like terms together)

3x + 2 = 20            (add similar numbers, in this case it's the both x's)

    -2     -2              (subtract 2 on both sides)

------------------

3x = 18

/3     /3                   (divide both sides by 3)

-------------------

x = 6
