Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12

Answer:

Jackson is 12 and Shelly is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know Jackson is two times older than Shelly, it only makes since for our answer to be 12.

to find this you can make two circles and add dashes in each until you reach 18, but add 2 to Jackson to each 1 you put for Shelly.

Un grupo de turistas gasta $ 153 para alquilar tubos y aletas. Se alquilan un total de 12 snorkels y 15 pares de aletas. Alquila
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The cost to rent a snorkel is 9$

(<em>espanol</em>) el costo de un snorkel es de 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

(English)Given that the group of tourists have spent $153 in renting snorkels and fins and there are 12 snorkels and 15 pairs of fins being rented, allow x to be the amount paid for the rent of the snorkels and y to be the rent for pairs of fins then 12x + 15y = 153. Given also that the rent for a snorkel is three times the rent of a pair of fins then x = 3y then, 12(3y) + 15y = 153. Simplify the equation, 36y + 15y = 153. 51y = 153. Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 51 then, y = 153/51 = 3. Therefore, renting a pair of fins costs $3. To compute for the rent of a snorkel, use the equation x = 3y then, x = 3($3) = $9.

(Espanol) Dado que el grupo de turistas han gastado $153 en el alquiler de snorkels y aletas y hay 12 snorkels y 15 pares de aletas que se alquilan, permitir x para ser la cantidad pagada por el alquiler de los snorkels y y para ser el alquiler para pares de aletas entonces 12x + 15y 153. Dado también que el alquiler para un snorkel es tres veces el alquiler de un par de aletas y luego x a 3y, entonces, 12 (3y) + 15y a 153. Simplifique la ecuación, 36y + 15y a 153. 51y a 153. Resuelva para y dividiendo ambos lados de la ecuación por 51 entonces, y á 153/51 a 3. Por lo tanto, alquilar un par de aletas cuesta $3. Para calcular el alquiler de un snorkel, utilice la ecuación x á 3y, a continuación, x a 3($3) a $9.

One Friday night, two large groups of people called Centerville Taxi Service. The first group
NeX [460]

Answer:sedan can hold 3 people and a minivan can hold 9 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the number of passengers each sedan can carry is A and the number of passengers each minivan can carry is B

So 3A + 2B = 21 and 3A + 3B = 27

If we subtract the equations we can solve for B

3A + 3B = 27

-3A - 2B = 21

___________

B = 6

Now we know Each minivan can hold 6 passengers and we can solve for A.

3A + 3B = 27

3A + 3(6) = 27

3A + 18 = 27

- 18. -18

__________

3A = 9

A =3

You can check this by solving the other equation.

3A + 2B = 21

3(3) + 2(6) = 21

9 + 12 = 21

Hope that helps

Answer is –4/5

Rearrange the equation to make y the subject

5y = –4x – 35

y = –4/5 x – 7

If the line is parallel to the other line, they both have the same gradients but different y-intercepts, so the gradient is just as is.
