Answer:
Noah is 17 and Tina is 7.
Why?
Let t represent Tina’s age.
So, 2t + 3 is Noah’s age.
This is your equation;
2t + 3 + t = 24
Now, simplify so t is on one side.
3t = 24 - 3
3t = 21
t = 21/3
t = 7
Tina’s age is 7, and Noah (according to the expression made for him) is 17.
Check:
7 + 17 = 24
Hi there!
Let the second angle be represented by x. Now, just use the given information to write expressions for each angle.
Angle 1:
The question says that it is 10 degrees less than the second angle. Therefore, it can be represented by the expression x - 10.
Angle 2:
Represented by x.
Angle 3:
As said in the question, the third angle is 2 times the second angle. This gives us the expression 2 × x, giving us 2x.
Now, take all the expressions and add them up and make them equal to 180 degrees, according to the Triangle Sum Theorem.
x + 2x + x - 10 = 180
4x - 10 = 180
4x = 190
/4 /4
x = 47.5
Therefore, the angle measures are 47.5 degrees, 2(47.5) = 95, and 47.5 - 10 = 37.5 degrees. Hope this helped!
Answer: 160 liters of the
40% solution and 80 liters of the 70% solution will be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of liters of 40% antifreeze solution that should be used.
Let y represent the number of liters of 70% antifreeze solution that should be used.
The volume of the mixture to be mixed is 240 liters. It means that
x + y = 240
The 40% antifreeze solution is to be mixed with a 70% antifreeze
solution to get 240 liters of a 50% solution. This means that
0.4x + 0.7y = 0.5(240)
0.4x + 0.7y = 120 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 240 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.4(240 - y) + 0.7y = 120
96 - 0.4y + 0.7y = 120
- 0.4y + 0.7y = 120 - 96
0.3y = 24
y = 24/0.3
y = 80
x = 240 - y = 240 - 80
x = 160
A equals 3 because 87 divided by 29 equals 3. You can check this by doing 29 times 3 which equals 87. Hope that Helped!
