First we have to find how much they spent on each gallon.
To find out how much Carly paid for each gallon we have to divide her total price by haw many gallons she got.
$17.50/7=$2.50 per gallon
Likewise we do the same for Jade
$45/15=$3
So the answer will be Jade paid more per gallon than Carly
8g+10=35+3g You need to find what number g is, just plug in random numbers till both sides are equal
A. 8 books on each shelf
B. 4 shelves for mystery, 7 shelves for biography
Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.
4 years ago, the son was:
s-4
So, his father is currently:
3(s-4)
=
3s-12
Therefore:
f = 3s-12
In twelve years, the son will be:
s+12
And the father will be:
f+12
This can also be written as:
3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12
=
3s
So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36
Son’s current age: 36
We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.
2(24)+24 = 72
Father’s current age: 72

The correct answer for the second one is,
