Answer:Alden is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation

Let x represent Alden's age.

Let y represent the age of his sister.

Let z represent the age of his second sister.

His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that

y = x + 5

y = 3z

Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is

z - 4

His brother is 2. It means that

z - 4 = 2

z = 2 + 4 = 6

y = 3z

y = 3 × 6 = 18

Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes

18 = x + 5

x = 18 - 5 = 13

Two groups of friends go to a movie. Each ticket costs the same amount. One group spends ​$57. The other group spends ​$95. List
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

1) All possible number tickets for group that spends $57: A, B, C, D

2) All possible number tickets for group that spends $95: B, C, E, F

3) Each ticket will cost at most $19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that one group spends $57 dollars while the other group spends $95.

Now,we want to find all possible whole number ticket prices for each group and at most how much each ticket​ costs.

To do this, let's first find the factors of both amounts which will give us all possible whole number ticket prices for each group.

57: 1, 3, 19, 57

95: 1, 5, 19, 95

Since each ticket costs same amount, to find out at most how much each ticket costs, we will select the highest common factor of both groups which is 19.

Thus,each ticket will cost at most $19
