Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
Answer:
$21.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.
He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers
Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.
Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25
= $26
He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.
Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10
= $52.5
Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:
Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)
= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)
= $100 - $78.50
= $21.50
Multiply 3x9 and it gives u 27
And -3 plus -9 equal -12
Answer:
D. $1.95
F. $3
Step-by-step explanation:
dimes: x + 2
quarters: x
x + 2 + x = 12
2x + 2 = 12
2x = 10
x = 5
dimes: x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
quarters: x = 5
Total value: (7 * .10) + (5 * .25) = $1.95
_____
dimes: x
quarters: 2x
x + 2x = 15
3x = 15
x = 5
dimes: x = 5
quarters: 2x = 2(5) = 10
Total value: (5 * .10) + (10 * .25) = $3
