Answer: Angelo is 13 years old.

Aaron is 15 years old

Alfred is 34 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of Angelo.

Let y represent the age of Aaron.

Let z represent the age of Alfred

The sum of three guys ages is 62. It means that

x + y + z = 62 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Angelo is two years younger than Aaron. It means that

x = y - 2

Alfred is four years older than twice Aaron's age. It means that

z = 2y + 4

Substituting x = y - 2 and z = 2y + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

y - 2 + y + 2y + 4 = 62

4y + 2 = 62

4y = 62 - 2 = 60

y = 60/4 = 15

x = y - 2 = 15 - 2

x = 13

z = 2y + 4 = 2 × 15 + 4

z = 34

Area of the living room is 180 square feet and the perimeter is 54 feet. What are the dimensions in feet?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer.....15ft by 12ft

Explanation:

Area = Length × Width

180 = LW....make W the subject of formula

;W = 180/L

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

54 = 2L + 2(180/L)...sub W with the formula above...

then simplify the equation and obtain...

2L^2 - 27L + 180 = 0....then solve using the quadratic formula....then obtain..

;L = 15ft....after obtaining L = 15...then substitute into the W = 180/L equation...

where W = 180/15 = 12ft

there you have...Length = 15ft and Width = 12ft

There are 205 coins in a jar all of which are either nickles or quarters . The vaule of the coin in the jar is $31.85. if both o
Gnesinka [82]

Answer: There are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of nickels, y = Number of quarters.

As per given,

x+y = 205    ...(i)

0.05x+0.25y = 31.85 ... (ii)    [1 nickel = $0.05, 1 quarter = $ 0.25]

Multiply (ii) by 20, we get

x+5y=637   ...(iii)

Eliminate (i) from (iii)

4y = 432

⇒ y = 108 [Divide both sides by 4]

Put value of y in (i), we get

108+x=205\Rightarrow\ x= 97

Hence, there are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.

What is the probability of flipping two coins and both landing on heads
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25. The second useful rule is the Sum Rule.
