Answer:

Jerry's weight is 36kg and tom's weight is 66kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given condition:

Let,tom's weight =x

Jerry's weight=y

So,

X=2y-6 ---(1)

X+y=102-----(2)

Put value of x from eq 1 in 2

2y-6+y=102

3y-6=102

3y=102+6

3y=108

Y=108/3=36

Jerry's weight is 36.

Put value of y in eq 1

X= 2(36) -6

X=72-6

X=66

So, Tom's weight is 66kg

Michael is 4 years younger than twice his cousin, Damien’s age. The sum of their ages is 46. How old is Damien?

Verizon [17]

Let x = The age of Michael
Let 2x-3 = The age of Michaels cousin
X+2x-3=46
x=16+1/3
X = 49 years

I think that’s the answer I’m not 100% sure though

This is an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be expressed mathematically in the following way:
$y=a (1+r)^{t}$ .
Parameter a presents initial amount.
Parameter r is percentage increase.
Parameter t is time.
An equation that would describe given problem is:
$y=400 (1+0.02)^{t}$
t is the time in years.
I attached the graph of this function.
