Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of oats = 4/(4+11) = 4/15
So fraction of barley = 11/15
Weight of oats in 150 kg = 150 * 4/15 = 40 kg
and there are 110 kg of barley,
Hi Kristian
a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2
We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
-2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12
Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14
Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12
The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)

Answer:
the man is 52 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
man: 35+x
son:x
y=884/x
x(35+x)=884
35x+x^2=884
35x+x^2-884=884-884 . 884/-17+52=35
x^2+35x-884=0
(x-17)(x+52)=0
x=17 . x=-52 (age can't be negative)
man:35+17=52
