Answer:

  Sydney is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent Sydney's age. Then Devaughn's age is (s-14). The total of their ages is ...

  s +(s -14) = 76

  2s = 90 . . . . . . simplify, add 14

  s = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Sydney's age is 45.

___

<em>Check</em>

  Devaughn's age is 45 -14 = 31. Their age total is 45 +31 = 76, as required.

Answer:

x + (x - 14) = 76

2x - 14 = 76

2x = 90

x = 45

Sydney is 45

45 - 14 = 31

Devaughn is 31

31 + 45 = 76 ✅

It took James 5h to paint an 8ft by 24ft wall. At this rate, how long would it take him to paint a 12ft by 36ft wall
olasank [31]
8 * 24 feet = 192 sq feet per 5 hours

12* 36 = 432 square feet

432 is 2.25 times the area of 192 square feet

So, it takes 5 * 2.25 = 11.25 hours

What should you do first in order to reconcile your checkbook register?
Anarel [89]
First, you need to have your bank statement and your check register.

Then, compare all your deposits from your checkbook register to your bank statement credits to determine the amount of deposit not yet credited by the bank, which is called your Deposit in Transit.

Next, compare all your disbursements from your checkbook register to all the debits in your bank statement to determine the amount of disbursements not yet debited by the bank.

Also, you need to check for any bank charges already debited to your bank account but not yet recorded.
