Answer:

Jaime = 11

Sammy = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Sammy is eleven less than five times Jaime's age. Use parameter (S) to represent Sammy's age, and parameter (J) to represent Jaime's age. Form an equation based on this given information:

S = 5J - 11

It is given that the sum of the two girl's ages is (55), use an equation to represent this.

S + J = 55

Substitute in the expression for the value of (S) in terms of (J),

(5J - 11) + J = 55

Simplify,

6J - 11 = 55

Inverse operations,

6J - 11 = 55

6J = 66

J = 11

Backsolve for the value of (S), substitute in the value of (J) into the equation for (S) and solve,

S = 5(J) - 11

S = 5(11) -11

S = 55 - 11

S = 44

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4=y/8+1

rewrite equation

y/8 + 1 = 4

move all terms not containing y to the right of the equation

y/8 = 3

multiply both sides of the equation by 8

8 x y/8 = 8 x 3

simplify both sides of the equation.

y = 24

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is
Nata [24]

the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.

and  the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.

According to question,

For   3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.

⇒ 3x+2y=11  →  (1)

For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23

⇒ 5x+6y=23 →  (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0

⇒3(3x+2y)-5x-6y=3(11)-23

⇒9x+6y-5x-6y=10

hence,

⇒4x=10

⇒x=2.5

Putting x=2.5 in  3x+2y=11  we get ;

⇒  3x+2y=11

⇒  3(2.5)+2y=11

⇒  2y=11-7.5=3.5

⇒  y=1.75

Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .
