Answer:

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 19

Shirley's age = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Priya.

According to the question,

Amirah's age = x + 4

Shirley's age = x - 2

Their sum is 47.

So,

x + 4 + x + x - 2 = 47

3x + 2 = 47

3x = 47 - 2

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

So,

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 15 + 4 = 19

Shirley's age = 15 - 2 = 13

Answer:

Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let Amirah =x

let Priya = y

let Shirley = s

so we have

x= 4+y

s=y-2

x+y+s =47

we have x= 4+y

4+y+y+s=47

4+2y+s=47

2y+s=43

s-y=-2 (MULTIPLY BY NEGATIVE 1)

y-s =2

2y+s= 43

by solving simultaneously we get

3y= 45

y=15

x= 4+y

x=19

s=y-2

s= 13

so Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

At a bus station, buses begin their routes at 6 a.M. The schedule for two of the buses is based on the time intervals listed bel
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The next time both will leave the bus station at the same time is 7:15 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 and 75 are multiples to each other.

So, L.C.M. of 15 and 75 is 75.

So, after 75 minutes both buses will leave the station at the same time.

Also since buses begin their routes at 6 a.m.

So, next time they will meet at

6 hours 0 minutes + 75 minutes = 7 hours 15 minutes = 7:15 a.m.

NeTakaya

Given :

Two equations :

-8x + 3y = -17  ....1)

3x - y = 7        ....2)

To Find :

The solution of the system.

Solution :

Multiplying equation 2) by 3 and adding with equation 1), we get :

(-8x + 3y) + 3(3x - y) = -17 + 21

x = 4

Putting above value of x equation 2) we get :

12 - y = 7

y = 5

Therefore, solution of system is ( 4,5 ).
