Answer:

Ava's share = $20

Charlotte's share = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 12x = 36 : multiply each girl's age by same amount and adding gives $36

27x = 36 : add x terms

x = 36 / 27 : divide both sides of equation by 27

x = 4 / 3

Ava's share = 15x = 15 * 4/3 = 20

Charlotte's share = 12x = 12 * 4/3 = 16

A teacher has two students, one two times as old as the other. The teacher is five times as old as the older student, and in 5 y
kramer
Let's call the younger student's age A and the older student's age B. The teacher's age will be T.

B = 2A
T = 5B
T+5 = 5(A+5)

Simplify the last equation.

T+5 = 5A+25
T = 5A+20

Now we have two equations solved for T, so we can set them equal to each other.

5B = 5A + 20

We can plug 2A in for B

5(2A) = 5A + 20

10A = 5A + 20

5A = 20

A = 4

To find T, we plug 4 in for A in T = 5A + 20

T = 5(4) + 20

T = 40

The answer is 40 years old.

Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2

120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2

(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8
