Answer:

a + b ≥ 40

a + 5 ≤ b

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told she would like to have at least 40 cupcakes and cookies combined.

If a is number of cupcakes and b is number of cookies, then this inequality is;

a + b ≥ 40

Secondly, we are told she would like to have at most 5 more cupcakes than cookies.

Thus, the inequality is;

a + 5 ≤ b

Lastly, we are told that cupcakes sell for $2.50 and cookies for $1.50

Thus, the inequality is;

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Finally, the 3 inequalities are;

a + b ≥ 40

a + 5 ≤ b

2.50a + 1.50b ≤ 105

Edith’s age is 1/4 of Ronald’s age. In how many years will Edith’s age be 1/3 of Ronald’s age if Edith is 20 years old?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Edith's age = 20 years

y = Ronald's age

x = 20 = y/4

y = 20×4 = 80 years

in z years we have

(x + z) = (y + z)/3

(20 + z) = (80 + z)/3

3(20 + z) = 80 + z

60 + 3z = 80 + z

60 + 2z = 80

2z = 20

z = 10

in 10 years Edith's age will be 1/3 of Ronald's age.

then Edith will be 30, and Ronald will be 90.

30 = 90/3

correct.
