Answer:

a=50 b=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Call A and B the 2 present ages.

Ten years from now, A is twice as old as B -->

(A + 10) = 2(B + 10) (1)

Five years ago, A was 3 times as old as B -->

(A - 5) = 3(B - 5) (2).

Solve the system (1) and (2).

From (2) --> A = 3B - 15 + 5 = 3B - 10.

Replace this value of A into (1) -->

3B - 10 + 10 = 2B + 20 --> B = 20. Then,

A = 3B - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50.

Check

!0 years from now --> A = 60 and B = 30 --> A = 2B .OK

5 years ago --> A = 45 and B = 15 --> A = 3B. OK

Need help please please i need help thanks ​

Answer:

1) 6 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of balls Elsa can shoot

x + 6 = number of balls Anna can shoot

18 = number of balls together they can shoot

x + (x + 6) = 18

x + x + 6 = 18

2x + 6 = 18

2x = 18 - 6

2x = 12

x = 6

2)2) 20x (3÷ 4)=90 120-90=30 thus left seat has 30 seating capacity.

3)Let x & y be packets of [a] type & [b] type detergent sold

Then 9x +7y =180

Let us say x=7

Then 9*7+7y =180

7y =180–63 = 117

y =117/7=19.2 this will not do as it contains decimal not whole number

Say x=6

Then 9*6 +7y =180

7y=180–54 =126

y =126/7 =18 this is acceptable as it is whole number

Answer: 6 packets of (a) and 18 packets of type (b) were sold to get 180Php
