Answer:

The present age of Joyal is 14 years.

The present age of Joyal's mother is 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J denotes the age of Joyal

Let M denotes the age of Joyal's mother

The present age of Joyal’s mother is three times the present age of joyal.

Mathematically,

M = 3J

After 5 years their ages will add up to 66

Mathematically,

(M + 5) + (3J + 5) = 66

M + J + 10 = 66

M + J = 66 - 10

M + J = 56

But we know that M = 3J

3J + J = 56

4J = 56

J = 56/4

J = 14 years

So the present age of Joyal is 14 years.

M = 3J

M = 3(14)

M = 42 years

So the present age of Joyal's mother is 42 years.

How many oz of walnuts which cost $6/oz must be added to 2 oz of peanuts which cost $12/oz to make mixed nuts which cost $8/oz
Burka [1]

Answer:  4 oz

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Create a table.  Multiply across and add down (the middle column cannot be added).  The Mixture line creates the equation that must be solved.

Let x represent the unknown quantity of walnuts.

\begin{array}{c|c|c||c}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{Cost}&\underline{Qty \times Cost}\\Walnuts&x&6&6x\\\underline{Peanuts}&\underline{\qquad 2\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 12\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 24\qquad }\\Mixture&x+2&8&6x+24\end{array}

.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (x+2)(8) = 6x+24\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 8x + 16 = 6x + 24\longrightarrow \text{distributed}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad2x+16=24\qquad \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 6x}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2x=8\qquad \qquad \ \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 16}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad x=4\qquad \qquad \quad \longrightarrow \text{divided by 2}
