Answer:
C. 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
B's age = x years
A's age = 2 times older than B
= 2 * x
= 2x years
A's age = 2x years
For instance, if B's age is 17 years
Then,
A's age = 2x
= 2(17)
= 34 years old
Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

Finally, solve for x:

If you had 100 balloons, you will have
40 yellow balloons.

+ 6 +

= 18
First, simplify

to

/ Your problem should look like:

+ 6 +

= 18
Second, simplify

to

+ 6 / Your problem should look like:

+ 6 = 18
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like: 6 -

= 18
Fifth, multiply both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 42 - x = 126
Sixth, subtract 42 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 126 - 42
Seventh, simplify 126 - 42 to 84. / Your problem should look like: -x = 84
Eighth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -84
Answer:
x = -84
Answer:
Perimeter = 42 units Area = 57.73 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of an Astroid = 6l ---> 6 x 7 = 42 units
Area of an Astroid = (3 x pi x a^2)/8 = 57.73 square units
