Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
Answer:
i think like $7.99 to $10.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
two hours and thirteen minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
count up from 3pm to 5pm to start with. That gives you two hours
we already have 38 minutes, now just subtract the 25 minutes he spent resting.
That leaves you with 2 hours and 13 minutes.
Correct me if I'm wrong I'm currently responding to this at a major lack of sleep lol
A) -8.93 > -8.4 is false. There is no solution.
B) -0.7 > -6.12 is true. There are infinite solutions.
C) 7.1 > 7.24 is false. There is no solution.
D) -3.2 > -3.6 is true. There are infinite solutions.
The answer is the last one, y = 2/3 -2
