Let 2a=Alex and Alicia’s age and a=Alex or Alicia’s age
And k=Kevin’s age
a+5=k
2a+k=53

And to solve use substitution since we already know what k is

2a+(a+5)=53
2a+a+5=53
3a+5=53
3a=48
a=16

And just in case you wanted to know if needed it

16+5=k
21=k

Alex is 16, Alicia is 16 and Kevin is 21

Avery uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at her restaurant. She wants to buy 10 kg
Ksju [112]

Answer:

d = m + 10\\d+m=150

Step-by-step explanation:

If Avery wants the amount of dark chocolate (d) to be 10 kg higher than the amount of milk chocolate (m), then the following relationship must be true:

d = m + 10

If the total amount of chocolate must equal 150 kg, then:

d+m=150

The system of equations that represent this situation is:

d = m + 10\\d+m=150

gina pasted 3 stickers in a book. if she added one sticker to her collection every day, what equation represents the relationshi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

                       Number of stickers = number of days + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- To find the equation of the line that represents the situation, first, find the slope.

Slope = m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

             m = \frac{4 - 3}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

- Find the equation of the line

                      y - y1 = m(x - x1)

                      y - 4 = 1(x - 1)

                      y - 4 = x - 1

                           y = x - 1 + 4

                           y = x + 3

y = number of stickers

x = days

                     Number of stickers = number of days + 3
