Answer:
George is 12, Mary Lou is 24 and Kate is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find these, start by setting George's age as x. This means that we can model Mary Lou's age as 2x, since she is twice as old. We can also model Kate's age as x - 2 since she is two years younger. Now we can add these 3 together and set equal to 46
x + 2x + x - 2 = 46
4x - 2 = 46
4x = 48
x = 12
This means that George is 12.
Mary Lou = 2x
Mary Lou = 2(12)
Mary Lou = 24
Kate = x - 2
Kate = 12 - 2
Kate = 10
Answer:
6 dollars per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up and solve an equation to answer this question. For this problem, let x stand for the amount he earned per hour. The equation that represents this situation is 3.2x + 4.3x = 45. The first term represents monday and the second represents tuesday. When these add up they should equal 45 because that is the total amount he made. To find his pay per hour, solve for x.
First, combine the like terms
Next, divide both sides by 7.5
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 364 yards. If the width of the field is 84 yards, what is its length?
(364 : 2) - 84 =
182 - 84 =
98
Total commission that Lamar got is:
6.5/100×785,000
=$51,025
Amount that Lamar split with his broker:
40/100×51025
=$20410
Amount that brokerage split
=50/100×20410
$10205
Total amount Lamar received $10205
There are an infinite number of different equations that have
x=2/3 as the solution, or as one of several solutions.
You didn't show us your list of choices, so we can't help you
pick the right one.
Just take each choice, one at a time. Write ' 2/3 ' in place of 'x'
in each equation, and simplify everything. You'll wind up with
one equation that's true, and the others will say something that's
nonsense.
The one that's true is the one that has x=2/3 as its solution.
