1/2 pounds,
assuming that each friend takes an equal part of the 2 1/2 pounds, then 2 1/2 divided by 5 would get you 1/2 pound
Answer:
7th week
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the number of weeks as x
Jill begins the summer with $500 in her savings account. Each week, she withdraws $20.
$500 - $20× x
500 - 20x
Her brother, Sam,starts the summer with $150 in his account. He adds $30 to his account each week.
$150 + $30 × x
150 + 30x
At what week will both Jill and Sam have the same amount in their account?
We solve this be Equating both Equations together
Jill = Sam
500 - 20x = 150 + 30x
Collect like terms
500 - 150 = 30x + 20x
350 = 50x
Divide both sides by 50
50x/50 = 350/50
x = 7 weeks
Therefore, at the 7 week, Jill and sam would have the same amount in their accounts
Answer:
Roy is 6 years old and Aaron is 1 year old.
Step-by-step explanation:
A is Aaron's age,
R is roy's age,
A = R - 5
R + 4 = 2(A+4)
We can distribute first,
R + 4 = 2A + 8
Subtract 4 from each side,
R = 2A + 4
Since A = R - 5, you can substitute in R - 5 for A in the equation,
R = 2(R-5) + 4
Distribute,
R = 2R - 10 + 4
Since - 10 + 4 = -6, we can do this,
R = 2R - 6
Subtract R from both sides,
0 = R - 6
Add 6 to both sides and you have part of your answer;
R = 6
Since A = R - 5,
A = 6 - 5
A = 1, so Aaron's age is 1.

= 2π - (-10π)
= 12π
Answer: the most straight-forward way to prove this is to plug -5 in the equation as the value of x. If the the equality holds, it is proven that x=-5:
3x+1=-14 | use x=-5
3(-5)+1=-14
-15+1=-14
-14=-14 --> equality holds --> x=-5 is a solution to 3x+1=-14
