Devaughn is 7 years older than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 95. What is Sydney's age?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Devaughn's age is D, and Sydney's age is S.

We know that D is 7 greater than S, so D = 7 + S.

We know that the sum of their ages, or D + S, is equal to 95, so D+S = 95

We have

D = 7 + S

D + S = 95

What we can do is plug D= 7 + S into the second equation to get

D + S = 95

= (7+ S) + S

= 7 + 2 * S

7+2 * S - 95

subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the coefficient and the variable

2 * S = 88

divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

S = 44

Sydney is therefore 44 years old

Avon Edwards worked 45.5 hours at $5 per hour. He made $100 in tips but no bonuses. Anything over 40 hours is paid time-and-a-ha
posledela

Answer:

1. D

2. B


Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation  W=HR+1.5VR+B+T

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)


<em>Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:</em>

<em>W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25</em>


<em>So avon's earnings are $341.25</em>

<em>Answer choice D is right.</em>


<u>Question 2:</u>

The other employee needs to work x hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.
