Answer:

10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.

Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6

Michelle=x

Yogi=x+6

we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as

x+(x+6)=26

combining like terms we get

2x+6=26

subtract 6 from both sides

2x=20

divide both sides by 2

x=10

now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages

Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.

Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6

Answer:

34 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

For Frank to cover his whole ceiling, he needs paper that will cover

20 ft x 20 ft                      

20 x 20 = 400 ft

So, Frank needs to cover 400 ft of the ceiling. He has to split up this large need for paper into smaller rolls, because the rolls he can buy are small.

If each roll has 12 ft, we need to find how many 12-feet are in 400 feet.

To do this, we should divide

400 / 12

= 33.333

Because Frank cannot cover the whole ceiling using only 33 rolls, he has to buy an additional roll to make sure he can cover the extra area [that would be left over if he were to only buy 33 rolls, which would only cover 396 feet]

So, Frank will need to buy 34 rolls to have enough paper to entirely cover his ceiling.

The difference between two numbers is 10 and their sum is 20. Find the biggest number.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 10, then x = 10 + y

x + y = 20

substitute for x:

10 + y + y = 20

2y = 10

y = 5

x = 10 + 5 = 15

PLZ HELP I WILL MARK BRAILNLEIST!! 20. b) Find the side length of the square. [No label is required.] *
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The length of one side is 13 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, a square is 4 sides that are equal in length. This means that when you have a problem like this, you need to set the equations equal to each other like:

2x+5=6x-11

In order to solve a problem like this, with the same variables on different sides, start by subtracting the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, you would be subtracting 2x from both sides, which would leave us with:

5=4x-11

After that, you solve it like a normal one-step equation. Add 11 to both sides.

16=4x

Now, divide both sides by 4 and you will know how much x is worth.

4=x

Now that we know how much x is worth, we can plug that into either of the equations given to us. It doesn't matter which since they are equal to each other.

2(4)+5

That would give us 13.
