Answer:

13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this we use a system of equations. Let's use "j" to represent Jack, "t" to represent Tyler, and "d" to represent the dad. Set the system up and it will look something like this:

j = t - 13 (Jack is 13 years younger than Tyler)

d = 2t (Dad is twice Tyler's age)

d + j + t = 91 (The sum of the ages is 91)

And then solve, I solved by isolating the "j" variable on the last equation, giving us j = 91 - t - d, then plugged that into the first equation, giving us 91 - t - d = t - 13, and got d = 104 - 2t. Then I plug that into d = 2t, giving us 104 - 2t = 2t, and solve for t. T is 26, meaning Tyler is 26 years old, and then I just subtract 13 from that, giving us 13 years old.

And finally, I obviously checked my answer, because now we know dad is 52, and I got 91.

Answer:

t=13

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the shorter sides is t/4 and the ratio of the longer sides is 26/8 so t=26×4/8=104/8=13

Write an equation that is parallel to the line x + 3y = 2 and passes through the point (1, 0).
Nady [450]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3y=2

3y = 2 - x

y = 2/3 - 1/3x

y = -1/3x +2/3

the slope is -1/3 and the equation that is parallel will have the same slope also

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + b

0 = -1/3(1) + b

0 = -1/3 + b

1/3 = b

y = -1/3x + 1/3

Gerald buys a bag of 7,500 assorted beads online. A random sample of 150 beads contains 17 red beads. Predict the number of red
Vanyuwa [196]
850. If there is 17 red beads for every 150 beads Then you would divide 7500 by 150 and you get 50. Then multiply 50 with 17 and your answer is 850 red beads. 7500/150=50. 50 x 17= 850.
