Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² = 9
(b + c)² = 25
(a + c)² = 81
Taking the square root:
a + b = ±3
b + c = ±5
a + c = ±9
By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.
Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:
a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2
a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2
a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2
Well, i depends on how much the van cost bc if you do have enough for the van alone, then you will not have enough for the gas or for snacks for the 180mile drive
Step-by-step explanation:
x = father's age now
y = son's age now
x = 2y + 10
x - 20 = 5(y - 20) = 5y - 100
using the first in the second equation :
2y + 10 - 20 = 5y - 100
-10 = 3y - 100
90 = 3y
y = 30
x = 2y + 10 = 2×30 + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70
the father is now 70 years old, the son now 30 years old.
Not enough Information. I could say 50 and it would work. I could say 68 and it would work. Any even number thats under 80 but higher than what you think her eldest son is.
