Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The answer would be 12 feet square.

That’s because taking out the square is taking out an area of 4 feet square. If you substitute the 4 feet square back in, that would fill in the empty spot marked with the 2 feet by 2 feet dimensions. Then, you could treat it like a rectangle of 4 by 3. If you multiply them you’ll get 12 feet square which is your answer. Hope this helps

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 45 pounds each, and the small boxes

Svetllana [295]

You have effectively wasted 1 hour of my time. Congratulations.

115 = 65 + 50

45(65) + 35(50) = 2925 + 1750 = 4675
45(50) + 35(65) = 2250 + 2275 = 4525

115 = 55 + 60

45(55) + 35(60) = 2475 + 2100 = 4575

Therefore 55 large boxes and 60 small boxes. Absolutely no more of these questions; I got stuck for 40 minutes using trial and error, even though that's the only way you can solve two variables in one equation with integers.

Lines J and k intersect at point Q and h is a straight line. What is the value of X ?

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 so 180-135 equals 45. Vertically opposite angles are equal so the second angle inside the triangle equals 100. Henceforth, we can solve this equation:

x +45+100 = 180 (angles in triangle add up to 180)

x+145=180

x=35

Vertically opposite angles are equal so x will become 35.

Hope this helps!
