Mathematics

Pepsi [2]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by  y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21.  Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3:  Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

Samuel wants to use his earnings from Monday and Tuesday to buy some batteries
IrinaK [193]

Answer: There are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of cans at the recycling center = $0.40 per pound

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Monday = 16.2

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Tuesday = 11.8

Total earning of Samuel is given by

(16.2+11.8)\times 0.40=\$11.2

Now, cost of battery =$5.60

So, number of batteries he can buy is given by

\frac{\text{ Total earnings}}{\text{ Cost of each battery}}\\\\=\frac{11.2}{5.6}\\\\=2

So, there are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .

plzzz help A model train is on a track 100 cm from its starting point. Turning a switch displaces the train either forward or ba
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: B.  |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.
