Answer:
A = 21
J = 2A = 42
C= A+5 =26
Step-by-step explanation:
C= christines text messages
J = jims messages
A = ali messages
Jim sent 2 times as many messages as Ali.
J = 2A
Ali sent 5 fewer messages than Christine.
A =C-5
A+5 =C
Christine, Jim, and Ali sent a total of 89 text messages
C+J+A = 89
substitute
C +5= A
A+5 +J+A = 89
combine like terms
2A +5+J = 89
now substitute J = 2A
2A +5+2A = 89
combine like terms
4A +5 = 89
subtract 5 to each side
4A +5-5 = 89-5
4A = 84
divide by 4
A = 21
J = 2A = 42
C= A+5 =26
Answer:
87
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d = number of desktops.
Let a = number of laptops.
a + d = 165
a = d + 9
d = a - 9
a + d = 165
a + a - 9 = 165
2a - 9 = 165
2a = 174
a = 87
Answer: 87
Answer:
Amount of paint to be bought = 10 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of paint needed by Mrs. Sullivan to paint her house = 12 gallons
She is already having paint = 8 quarts
Since, 1 quart = 0.25 gallons
Therefore, 8 quarts = 8 × 0.25
= 2 gallons
So, amount of paint she is already having = 2 gallons
Amount of paint to be bought = 12 - 2
= 10 gallons
