Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick

Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M

The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48

Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:

H + M = 48

3M + M = 48

4M = 48

M = 12

Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.

Maverick is 12 years old. I used the equation (3x)+x=48. X represents Mavericks age.
I plugged in a random number for x until the equation equaled 48.

scoray [572]

Answer:

#1: inequality form: x ≤ –1 or x ≥ 2

interval notion: ( -∞,-1] U [2,∞)

#2: false/no solution

#3: A) point form: (3,9)(-1,1)

equation form: x= 3,y=9 and x= -1,y=1

B)point form: (1,7)(7,1)

equation form: x=1,y=7 and x=7,y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

#1: solve for x by simplifying both sides of the inequality, then isolating the variable.

#2: N/A

#3: solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the results into the other question.

Little Snail is going to visit his friend over at the next pond, 3 miles away. He can crawl ( 1/2. 1/3, 1/4, 3/4, 2/3 ) of a mil

KIM [24]

Solution :

It is given that Little Snail is going to visit one of his friend at the pond which is 3 miles away.

When the snail crawls 1/2 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{2}{1} \times 3$

= 6 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/3 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{3}{1} \times 3$

= 9 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/4 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{4}{1} \times 3$

= 12 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 3/4 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{4}{3} \times 3$

= 4 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 2/3 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{3}{2} \times 3$

= 4.5 days to get to the next pond.

3 people divide $30 charge. They get refund of 1 dollar each and cashier keeps 2 dollars. When cross checking you multiply 9x3=2

Inessa [10]

Answer:

First, 3 people divide $30, then each one of them pays:

$30/3 = $10.

Each one of them gets $1 in refound.

Then at the moment, each one of them paid $9, and there are 3 friends, so the total amount is 3*$9 = $27.

We also know that the cashier keeps $2, but these $2 must come from the $27 that the friends paid.

Then we will have $27 = $25 + $2.

This means that the total cost was $25, and the cashier kept $2 as a tip.

Now, in your problem, you add the $2 that the cashier kept to the $27 that the friends paid. While those $2 actually are already counted in the $27 that the friends paid.
