Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Juan be x

Let the age of Gabe be y

Let the age of catherine be z

The sum of their ages is 149, then;

x+y+z = 149

If Juan is three times as old as Gabe, then;

x = 3y .....2

If Gabe is six years older than Catherine, then;

y = z + 6

z = y-6 ....3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;

From 1; x+y+z = 149

3y+y+y-6 = 149

5y = 149+6

5y = 155

y = 31

Since x = 3y

x = 3*31

x = 93

If z = y-6

z = 31-6

z = 25

Hence Juan is 93 years old

Gabe is 31 years old

Catherine is 25 years old

Answer:

\left\{\begin{matrix}2p + 4c = 31.50\\3p + 2c = 33.25\end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call (as suggested)

p = the cost of one pizza

c = the cost of one cheeseburger

The Anderson Family ordered 2 pizzas and 4 cheeseburgers and paid $31.50, thus:

2p + 4c = 31.50             [1]

Next weekend, they ate at the same restaurant and ordered 3 pizzas and 2 cheeseburgers for $33.25, thus:

3p + 2c = 33.25           [2]

To know the cost of one pizza and one cheeseburger, we need to solve the system of equations defined by [1] and [2]

\left\{\begin{matrix}2p + 4c = 31.50\\3p + 2c = 33.25\end{matrix}\right.

What is the volume of the rectangular prism?<br><br> Type the answer in the boxes below.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

15 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's 15 because if you count, there are 30 boxes. Each box has a volume of 1/2, so you are supposed to multiply, which means 1/2x30.

1/2x30=15

I hope it's right!

If sin(x) = M, with M &gt; 0, find the value of then sin(x - pi) =
Alexus [3.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(x) = M, M > 0

= sin(x - π)

= sin(x)cos(π) - cos(x)sin(π)

= sin(x).(-1) - cos(x).0

= -sin(x) - 0

= -sin(x)

= -M
