Answer:
Tara is 27 and Adam is 31.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tara: x years old
Adam: x+4
Subtract the five years to get their current age
x-5 and x+4-5
x-5 and x-1
(x-5) + (x-1) = 48
x-5 + x-1 = 48
2x - 6 = 48
2x= 48+6
2x= 54
x= 27
Tara is 27 and Adam is 31
No but it is true that the two equations are parallel.
What are you trying to find? y?x?..???
Flour : sugar = (1/3) : (1/5) = 5 : 3 . . . . . . . . multiply the first ratio by 15 to eliminate fractions
The total of ratio units in the last representation is 5+3=8, so for a recipe of 16 cups, each ratio unit will stand for 16/8 = 2 cups.
Multiplying the ratio by 2 cups, we find Amanda will need
... 10 cups flour : 6 cups sugar
for her recipe.
