Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age. How many years old am I

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

48 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age be xy or 10x + y.

Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age, convert this to equation:

(10y + x)/3 + 20 = 10x + y
(10y + x)/3 = 10x + y - 20
10y + x = 3(10x + y - 20)
10y + x = 30x + 3y - 60
30x - x + 3y - 10y = 60
29x - 7y = 60

We should consider both x and y are between 1 and 9 since both the age and its reverse are 2-digit numbers.

Possible options for x are:

29x ≥ 7*1 + 60 = 67 ⇒ x > 2, at minimum value of y,

and

29x ≤ 7*9 + 60 = 123 ⇒ x < 5, at maximum value of y.

So x can be 3 or 4.

29*3 - 7y = 60
87 - 7y = 60
7y = 27
y = 27/7, discarded as fraction.

29*4 - 7y = 60
116 - 7y = 60
7y = 56
y = 8

So the age is 48.

Of the 36 students in the environmental club, 15 or boys and 21 are girls. The president of the club wants to add more boys so t

schepotkina [342]

Because 50% of something means half (because 100-50=50), he would have to make the number of girls and boys equal. Since there are 21 girls, he has to make it so there are also 21 boys.
So, if we know that 21-15=6, this means he would have to add 6 boys to the club if he wants the girls and boys equal.

How many integers between 10 and 60, inclusive, can be evenly divided by neither 2 nor 3?

erastovalidia [21]

Find total number of integers.

$a_1=10,a_n=60,d=1 \\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d \\60=10+(n-1)1 \\n-1=50 \\n=51$

Find how many integers is divisible by 2.

$a_1=10,a_n=60,d=2
\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d
\\60=10+(n-1)2
\\2(n-1)=50
\\n-1=25
\\n=26$

Eliminate even numbers.

11, 13, 15,..., 57, 59

This array contains 51 - 26 = 25 numbers.

Eliminate numbers before the first number divisible by 3 and after the last number divisible by 3.

15, 17, 19,..., 55, 57

This array contains 25 - 3 = 22 numbers.

Now we should eliminate numbers divisible by 3: 15, 21, 27...

$a_1=15,a_n=57,d=6,n=?
\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d
\\57=15+(n-1)6
\\6(n-1)=42
\\n-1=7
\\n=8$

There are 8 such numbers.

Therefore, there are 25 - 8 = 17 numbers that <span>can be evenly divided by neither 2 nor 3</span>
