Answer:

Aaron's bowling score is 30

David's bowling score is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable representing Aaron's score is = a

The variable representing David's bowling score = d

The sum of their scores is 84.

= a + d = 84...... Equation 1

David's bowling score is 6 less than 2 times Aaron's score.

d = 2a - 6

Substituting 2a - 6 for d in Equation 1

a + 2a - 6 = 84

3a - 6 = 84

3a = 84 + 6

3a = 90

a = 90/3

a = 30

Hence, Aaron's bowling score is 30

d = 2a - 6

d = 2(30) - 6

d = 60 - 6

d = 54

David's bowling score is 54

Answer:

-2/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(75, 60) (45, 40)

75       60               since 75 is larger than 45, we subtract = -30

45       40               since 60 is larger than 40, we subtract = -20

= -20/-30

reduce

= -2/-3

bob travels from inglewood to Anytown; a distance of 20km. he walks 800m and cycles the rest of the way. What percentage of the
Semmy [17]
We can convert 20km to 20,000m. Then, we can subtract 800m (walking distance) from 20,000m which would result in 19,200m. Then we can put 19,200m and 20,000m as a fraction (19200/20000). Before we can multiply it by 100 to make it in the percentage form, we can get rid of 2 zeroes for both number making it 192/200 and then further simplifying it to 24/25 by dividing both numbers by 8. Finally to get the percentage we can multiply 24 and 100 (2400) and then divide the result (2400) by 25. The final answer is 2400/25=96 meaning he cycled 96% of the journey and walked 4% of the journey (100-96=4).
