S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2
check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
7 = 7 correct✅
Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon
Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:
= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
= 5 × $3
= $15
(6, 2 )
substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y
6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y =
= 2
the ordered pair is (5, 2 )
It would be 7 with 75 over 100....it would look like 7 75/100. then simplify it.
