Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 plus 9 plus 10 equals 27. so 8 is the smallest.
3 and 2/3 hours.
Multiply the number of hours Dominic spent by the scale factor.
Answer:Jason is 5 years old.
John is 4 years old.
Jackson is 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the age of Jason.
Let y represent the age of John.
Let z represent the age of Jackson.
The ages of three siblings Jason John and Jackson totals 21 years. It means that
x + y + z = 21 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Jason is one year older than John. It means that
x = y + 1
Jackson is three times as old as John. It means that
z = 3y
Substituting x = y + 1 and z = 3y into equation 1, it becomes
y + 1 + y + 3y = 21
5y = 21 - 1 = 20
y = 20/5 = 4
x = y + 1 = 4 + 1
x = 5
z = 3y = 3 × 4
z = 12
Answer:
6. 6x-21=33+9x 7. -15x=-5(3x+7) 8. 16x-19=113-6x 9. -19x-34=56-x 10. -6(4x+3)=6(4x-3)?
6. 6x-21 = 33 +9x
+21 + 21
6x = 54 + 9x
-9x -9x
-3x = 54
/3 /3
x = -18
7. -15x = -5(3x+7)
First multiply the -5 to the other numbers.
-15x = -15x - 35
0x = -35
7 is impossible I believe.
8. 16x-19 = 113-6x
+6 +6
22x - 19 = 113
+ 19 +19
22x = 132
/22 /22
x = 6
9. -19x - 34 = 56 - x
+19x +19x
-34 = 56 + 18x
-56 -56
-90 = 18x
/18 /18
x = -5
10. -6(4x+3) = 6[4x-3]
-24x - 18 = 24x - 18
+18 +18
-24x= 24x
x = 0, since only zero can make the equation true.
