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

After the booster club sold 40 hotdogs at a football game, it had $90 in profit. After the next game, it had sold a total of 80
Ainat [17]
We can model the equation:y = m x + b, where y is the total profit and x is the number of hotdogs sold.The system of equations is:
90 = 40 m + b210 = 80 m + b---------------------b = 90 - 40 m210 = 80 m + 90 - 40 m210 - 90 = 40 m120 = 40 mm = 120 : 40m = 3b = 90 - 40*3b = 90 - 120b = - 30Answer: The equation is y = 3 x - 30
