Answer:

Elsa sent 15, Lamar sent 30, and Keith sent 23

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=Elsa, L=Lamar, and K=Keith

2x=L

x+8=K

x+x+8+2x= 68

4x+8=68

4x=60

x=15

Then you plug 15 into x, and solve for each person.

(15)2=L

(15)+8=K

What is the negation of the following statement: "n is divisible by 6 or n is divisible by both 2 and 3."
olganol [36]

Answer:

H.''n is not divisible by 6 and n is not divisible by both 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that  a statement ''n is divisible by 6 or n is divisible by both 2 and 3.''

We have to write the negation of the  given statement.

Negation: If  a statement p is true then its negations is  p is false.

n is divisible by 6 then negation is n is not divisible by 6.

n is divided by both 2 and 3 then negation is n is not divisible  by both 2 and 3.

Therefore, negation of given statement

''n is not divisible by 6 and n is not divisible by both 2 and 3.

Hence, option H is true.

A can holds 753.6 cubic centimeters of juice. The can has a diameter of 8 centimeters. What is the height of the can?
Tresset [83]

height = 15 cm

the volume (V) of a cylindrical can is

V = πr²h ( r is the radius and h the height )

here d = 8 cm ⇒ r = 4 cm

π × 4² × h = 753.6

16πh = 753.6 ( divide both sides by 16π )

h = 753.6 / 16π = 14.99 ≈ 15 cm

Gavin likes biking. He never misses a chance to go for a ride when the weather is nice. This week his goal is to bike about 65 t
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Total Miles he  drives first day      = 8 miles

Total Miles he drive second day   = 12miles

Total Miles he drives third day    =    18miles

Total Miles he drives fourth day    =  27 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of linear equations in 1 variable:

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution.

It is given in the question that ,

This week his goal is to drive bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before.

Let, on the first day, he drives x miles. On second day, he drives 1.5x. On the third day, he drives 1.5(1.5x) and on the fourth day, he drives 1.5(1.5(1.5x)).

So the equation is :

x +1.5x + 1.5(1.5x) + 1.5(1.5(1.5x)) = 65miles

x + 1.5x + 2.25x + 3.375x   = 65miles

            8.125x   =    65 miles

                  x   =  65/8.125  miles

                  x   = 8 miles

so after solving the equation we get, on the first day Gavin drives 8 miles

similarly, on the second day he drives 12miles

               on third day 18 miles

   and     on the fourth day  27miles

Theresa is 14 years younger than her brother Jonathan. Together, their total age in years is 35. A) How many years old is Theres
ikadub [295]

A) The age of Theresa is 10 years 6 months old

B) Jonathan age is 24 years and 6 months old

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Theresa is 14 years younger than her brother Jonathan.  

Let the age of Theresa be "n" years

Then the age of Jonathan will be "n + 14" years

Together, their total age in years is 35

<em><u>A) Finding age of Theresa:</u></em>

Jonathan age + Theresa age = 35  

n + 14 + n = 35  

2n + 14 = 35  

2n = 35 - 14  

2n = 21  

n = 10.5

So, age of Theresa is 10 years 6 months  

<em><u>B) Finding age of Jonathan</u></em>

Now, we know that n = 10.5  

Then Jonathan age = n + 14 = 10.5 + 14 = 24.5 years

So, Jonathan is 24 years and 6 months old
