We need to write system of equations for this problem. Reading text we write 1 equation by 1.
first lets name our variables
x - Kiana cards
y - Gary cards
z - Monty cards
m - Willa cards
x = y-3 which we can write as y = x+3
z = x + 7
m = 2z
x + y + z + m = 74
I think easiest way to solve this is to express all variables in last equation and solve for x.
x + x+3 + x + 7+ 2x + 14= 74
5x = 50
x = 10
now we just calculate cards given to each friend
y = 13
z = 17
m = 34
Answer:
, so using order of applications, it simplifies to 27+1.5+9 after multiplying and dividing, and the final answer is 37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.
According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get
11 * 2 = 22
22 - 4 = 18
So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.
Answer:
Distribute the 5 to get 10a-15=20+a and solve
