Answer:

x + 14 = 2(x + 6)

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Algebra book age = x

Chemistry book age = x + 8

In 6 years time

Chemistry book age = x + 8 + 6

= x + 14

Algebra book age = x + 6

the chemistry book will be twice as old as the Algebra book.

x + 14 = 2(x+6)

x + 14 = 2x + 12

x - 2x = 12 - 14

- x = - 2

Divide both sides by -1

x = 2

Check:

Chemistry book age = x + 14

= 2 + 14

= 16

Algebra book age = x + 6

= 2 + 6

= 8

625-576=x^2

49=x^2

x^2=49

x=√49

x=7cm

How many ways can you make 65 cents using nickels dimes and quarters
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

14 ways in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If you use 2 quarters, you have to make the remaining 15� with either no

dimes or 1 dime and the rest in nickels.

That's 2 ways.

B. If you use 1 quarter, you have to make the remaining 40� with either no

dimes, 1 dime, 2 dimes, 3 dimes or 4 dimes and the rest, if any, in nickels.

That's 5 more ways.  

C. If you don't use any quarters, you have to make the entire 65� with either

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 dimes and the rest in nickels.

That's 7 more ways.  2+5+7 = 14 ways in all.
