We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.
Then 11x=33, and x = 3.
Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or
6:12:15.
Do these 3 ages add up to 33? 6 + 12 + 15 = 33? YES!
The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.
Answer:
The number of questions he finished will be q.
37 + q = 78
rewrite this
78 - 36 = q
solve
78 - 36 = 42
Using elimination method to find y
3x - 4y = -15 (multiply 4)
4x + 3y = 5 (multiply 3)
------------------------------------
12x - 16y = -60
12x + 9y = 15
--------------------- - (substract)
-25y = -75
y = 3
Using subtitution method to find x
3x - 4y = -15
3x - 4(3) = -15
3x - 12 = -15
3x = -3
x = -1
The solution (-1,3)
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(3) = -12
-12 + 8 = -4
