Answer:

Randall: 44, Amy: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Four years ago, their age added up to 71. Since four years have passed and they've each grown four years older since then, their ages added up together is 79. Here is the equation for Amy: x + (x + 9) = 79. We can simplify to get 35. Now we add 9 to 35 to get Randall's age. So, Amy's age is 35 and Randall's age is 44, and 35 + 44 = 79.

A+b=180<br> A=-2x+115<br> B=-6x+169<br> What is the value of B?
natulia [17]
The answer is:  " 91 " .   
___________________________________________________
                    →    " B = 91 " .
__________________________________________________ 

Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Given:  
__________________________________________________
    "  A +  B = 180 " ;

  "A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  
_____________________________________________________
METHOD 1)
_____________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ; and then plug the solved value for "x" into the expression given for "B" ; to  solve for "B"
_____________________________________________________

(115 − 2x) + (169 − 6x) = 

  115 − 2x + 169 − 6x = ?

→ Combine the "like terms" ;  as follows:

      + 115 + 169 = + 284 ; 

 − 2x − 6x = − 8x ; 
_________________________________________________________
And rewrite as:

 " − 8x + 284 " ; 
_________________________________________________________
   →  " - 8x + 284 = 180 " ; 

Subtract:  "284" from each side of the equation:

  →  "  - 8x + 284 − 284 = 180 − 284 " ; 

to get:

 →  " -8x = -104 ; 

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "-8 " ; 
    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→ -8x / -8 = -104/-8 ; 

→  x = 13
__________________________________________________________
Now, to find the value of "B" :
__________________________________________________________
  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  

↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  

         = 169 − 6(13) ;   ===========> Plug in our "solved value, "13",  for "x" ;

         = 169 − (78) ; 

         = 91 ;

   B   = " 91 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 91 " . 
____________________________________________________
     →     " B = 91 " . 
____________________________________________________
Now;  let us check our answer:
____________________________________________________
               →   A + B = 180 ;  
____________________________________________________
Plug in our "solved answer" ; which is "91", for "B" ;  as follows:
________________________________________________________

→  A + 91 = ? 180? ;  

↔  A = ? 180 − 91 ? ; 

→  A = ?  -89 ?  Yes!
________________________________________________________
→  " A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

Plug in our solved value for "x"; which is: "13" ; 

" A = 115 − 2x " ; 

→  A = ? 115 − 2(13) ? ;

→  A = ? 115 − (26) ? ; 

→  A = ? 29 ? Yes!
_________________________________________________ 
METHOD 2)
_________________________________________________
Given:  
__________________________________________________
    "  A +  B = 180 " ;

  "A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ; 

→  Solve for the value of "B" :
_______________________________________________________
 A + B = 180 ;  

→ B = 180 − A ; 

→ B = 180 − (115 − 2x) ; 

→ B = 180 − 1(115 − 2x) ;  ==========> {Note the "implied value of "1" } ; 
__________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:__________________________________________________  a(b + c)  = ab +  ac ;  <u><em>AND</em></u>:
  a(b − c)  = ab − ac .________________________________________________________
Let us examine the following part of the problem:
________________________________________________________
              →      " − 1(115 − 2x)  " ; 
________________________________________________________

→  "  − 1(115 − 2x) " = (-1 * 115) − (-1 * 2x) ;

                                =  -115 − (-2x) ;
                         
                                =  -115  +  2x ;        
________________________________________________________
So we can bring down the:  " {"B = 180 " ...}"  portion ; 

→and rewrite:
_____________________________________________________

→  B = 180 − 115 + 2x ; 

→  B = 65 + 2x ; 
_____________________________________________________
Now;  given:   "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ; 

→ " B =  169 − 6x  =  65 + 2x " ; 
______________________________________________________
→  " 169 − 6x  =  65 + 2x "

Subtract "65" from each side of the equation;  & Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation:

→  169 − 6x − 65 − 2x  =  65 + 2x − 65 − 2x ; 

to get:

→   " - 8x + 104 = 0 " ;
 
Subtract "104" from each side of the equation:

→   " - 8x + 104 − 104 = 0 − 104 " ;

to get: 

→   " - 8x = - 104 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "-8" ; 
   to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  -8x / -8  = -104 / -8 ; 

to get:

→  x =  13 ; 
______________________________________________________

Now, let us solve for:  " B " ;  → {for which this very question/problem asks!} ; 

→  B = 65 + 2x ;  

Plug in our solved value, " 13 ",  for "x" ; 

→ B = 65 + 2(13) ; 

        = 65 + (26) ;  

→ B =  " 91 " .
_______________________________________________________
Also, check our answer:
_______________________________________________________
Given:  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;   ↔  B = 169 − 6x = 91 ; 

When "x  = 13 " ; does: " B = 91 " ? 

→ Plug in our "solved value" of " 13 " for "x" ;

      → to see if:  "B = 91" ; (when "x = 13") ;

→  B = 169 − 6x ; 

         = 169 − 6(13) ; 

         = 169 − (78)______________________________________________________
→ B = " 91 " .

Irina-Kira [14]
Hi there!

PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)

Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1

PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.

Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers

ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.

Hope this helps!! :)

Your bill at dinner is $25. Sales tax is 8.1% and you will tip 18%. What is your total.
Over [174]

Answer:

31.525

Step-by-step explanation:

first you calculate the tip, 0.18*25 is 4.5

then you calculate the tax, 0.081*25 is 2.025

finally you add everything together, 25+4.5+2.025 is 31.525
