Answer:
45 horseshoe crabs and 45 sea stars
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium initially contained x crabs and x sea stars.
"After 15 horseshoe crabs and 27 sea stars are removed the ratio of horseshoe crabs to sea stars is 5:3"
(x-15):(x-27) = 5:3
(x-15)/(x-27) = 5/3
3(x-15) = 5(x-27)
3x-45 = 5x-135
90 = 2x
x = 45
Answer:
HCF (HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR) OR GCF ( GREATEST COMMON FACTOR) OF 40 AND 60 IS 20.
Answer:
10x - 5y = 15
-5y = -10x + 15
y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part a) Daniel's age is 2 years
Part b) Kevin's age is 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question is </em></u>
Part a) How old is Daniel?
Part b) How old is Kevin?
Let
x ----> Kevin's age
y ----> Daniel's age
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
Equate equation A and equation B

solve for y



therefore
Daniel's age is 2 years
<em>Find the value of x</em>
substitute the value of y in any of the two equations


therefore
Kevin's age is 8 years
there is no inverse though
