Answer:

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Alicia be x

Let the age of Quentin be y

Let the age of Rosalyn be z

If the sum of the siblings’ ages, in years, is 48 then;

x+y+z = 48.... 1

If Rosalyn is two years older than Quentin then;

z =y+2 ..... 2

Also if Quentin is four years younger than Alicia then;

y = x-4 ... 3

From 3:

x = y+4 ... 4

Substitute 2 and 4 into 1 to have:

y+4+y+y+2 = 48

3y + 6= 48

3y = 48-6

3y= 42

y = 14

Since x= y+4

x = 14+4

x = 18

Since z = y+2

z = 14+2

z = 16year

This means that;

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Makovka662 [10]

if one customer shows up, and she buys one song, that's $1.29, if she doesn't buy anymore, then that's the charge.

the first song is always at a full price, and after that, to encourage buying, the next ones are just 99 cents, let's see how it goes after a few songs purchases.

1 song.........................$1.29

2 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(2)

3 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(3)

4 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(4)

c songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(c)

s(c) = 1.29 + 0.99c.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( n + 5 ) = -2

First, solve the brackets.

2n + 10 = -2

Now take 10 to the right side.

2n + 10 -10 = -2 - 10

2n = -12

Then divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2n}{2} =\frac{-12}{2}

And now you'll the value of n.

n = ( -6 )
