<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = dresser height
x = mirror height
x+y=6.28
x-y = 1.28
x = 1.28+y
x+y=6.28
(1.28+y)+y=6.28
2y = 5
y = 2.5
Dresser = 2.5 ft
Dresser + Mirror = 2.5 + 1.28 = 6.28 ft
Mirror = 1.28 ft
When we have exponents multiplied with the same base we add them so 5^5*5^10=5^15
Answer:
Each boy recieved $25.25 each
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you add up all the money the 3 boys spent.
15+15+15=45
Then you add the sum of the equation to the amount all the boys had afterward.
45+30.75=75.75
Finally, you divide that product to 3 boys.
75.75/3=25.25
Therfore the answer is $25.25 each.
