<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
  • jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Age off paul.

<h3><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u></h3>

<u>Let,</u>

  • Age of paul = x years
  • Age of jane = y years

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> question</u>

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

<u>And,</u>

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u>

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • Age of paul = 15 year

Back in ye olden days, cell phone companies charged for texting. A cell phone company charges 10 cents per text message if a cus
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: It is worth it.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a customer sends 101 - 200 texts in a month, they get charged 8 cents per text.

If they send 201 - 300, they get charged 6 cents per month.

If you have sent 200 texts, your charge for the month will therefore be:

= 200 * 8

= $16.00

If you send the 201th text, you will be charged 6 cents per text. Total charge would be:

= 201 * 6

= $12.06

<em>If you send 1 more text, it will be worth it because you will save:</em>

<em>= 16 - 12.06</em>

<em>= $3.94</em>
