Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages

we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43

the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years 
Tony's ages is 22 years

Hiro painted his room. After 3333 hours of painting at a rate of 8888 square meters per hour, he had 28282828 square meters left
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = 52 - 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

If he painted for 3 hours at a rate of 8 square meters per hour, the area painted was:

A_P=8*3=24\ m^2

If after 24 squared meters painted, there are still 28 left, the total area is:

A=24+28 = 52\ m^2

The area still left to paint is initially 52 squared meters and decreases at a rate of 8 square meters per hour, the function that describes the relationship between the area left to paint (y) and number of hours (x) is:

y = 52 - 8x

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

She must win the next 8 consecutive games to get 80% and after that loose the next 12 games to get to 50%.

<h3>How to find the probability of winning?</h3>

She has won 8 out of 12 days. Thus, percentage of winning is;

P(winning) = 8/12 * 100%

P(Winning) = 75%

To arrive at 80% winning, it means that the number of extra consecutive games she must win is;

(8 + x)/(12 + x) = 80/100

10(8 + x) = 8(12 + x)

80 + 10x = 96 + 8x

2x = 16

x = 8

Thus, she must win the next 8 consecutive games to get 80%.

For her to get to 50% after that, it means that;

(16 - x)/(20 - x) = 50/100

(16 - x)/(20 - x) = 1/2

2(16 - x) = 20 - x

32 - 2x = 20 - x

x = 12
