The Additive inverse is 9
Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then
Alvin's age = 2x , that is
y = 2x ............... equation 1
The sum of their ages is 63 implies
x + y = 63 .............. equation 2
Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have
x + 2x = 63
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
Answer:x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar figures have sides that are proportional. Setting up a proportion for the sides of the figures will help solve for 'x':
Cross-multiply: 3(x + 1) = 6(x - 3)
Distribute: 3x + 3 = 6x - 18
Combine like terms: 21 = 3x
Solve for 'x': x = 7
Answer:
20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Water is leaking at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.
a) We have to write a linear equation in two variables that show the amount of water, w, in gallons, that is leaked from the faucet after t minutes.
So, the equation is ......... (1) (Answer)
b) Now, if t = 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes, then from equation (1) we can write
gallons.
Therefore, 20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour. (Answer)
1/4 hour = 75 gallons
1 hour = 75 x 4 = 300 gallons
--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The rate is 300 gallons/hour
