Charles is twelve. Matt is two times older so he is 24. Paul is two times older than Matt so he is 48.
For the first question it is (3x-5) degrees second question is (x-5)
Answer:
Find the ratio of minutes to miles, 4:1. Multiply 7.5 by 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Minutes: 10 || 16 || ? || 48
-----Miles: 2.5 || 4 || 7.5 || 12
Required
Which statements solve for the missing value?
First, we need to calculate the ratio of minutes to mile

When minutes = 16; mile = 4
So, we have:


Next, we multiply the ratio by 7.5



<em>Hence, option B answers the question.</em>
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:
1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11
set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1
sub “o” into one of the eqn
5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2
therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20
