A.
Let x = age of Samantha.
Then x - 2 = age of Emily,
and x + 2 = age of Lauren.
b.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
c.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
3x = 42
x = 14
x - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
The ages of the sisters are 12, 14, 16.
Total cost=$142
cost of parts=$62
cost paid for labour=$142-$62=$80
According to question,
》cost of labour per hr=$32
which can be written as,
》cost of labour/time=$32
Use cross multiplication,
》time=cost of labour/32
Since cost of labour is 80,
Time=80/32
=2.5hrs
Answer:
X > (greater than or equal to) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 15 > -6
3x > -21 (subtract 15 from both sides)
X > -7 (divide both sides by 3)
Original Ratio of 1 in = 7 ft so 3 in = 21 ft
Now, New ratio 1 in = x ft so 3 in = 27ft
1/x = 3/27
cross multiply a/b = c/d ad = bc
1/x = 3/27
3x = 27
x = 9
1 in represents 9 ft
The equation of this equation is 2x/31=22. First, multiply both sides by 31 to get 2x=682. Then, divide both side by two to get x=341, which is 341 home runs by the Yankees that season
