Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3
So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.
Area of the garden is 280 m²
Let us consider the length as x and width as y.
Sp, we can day length as :-
x = 8 + 2y ---(1)
Now, we know that:-
Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth
280 = x * y
We can replace the value of x now,
280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)
280 = 8y + 2y²
2y² + 8y - 280 = 0
y² + 4y - 140 = 0
Factorise it.
(y -10)(y + 14)
Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.
Let x = 0.555..... → (1)
Multiply both sides by 10, then
10x = 5.555..... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal
(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is
9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 
Answer:157 m
Step-by-step explanation:you need to multiply 3.14*25*2
R = speed in still water
r + c = speed with current
r - c = speed against current
3.5(r + c) = 70
r + c = 20
c = 20 - r
4(r + c) = distance from pier to pier
5(r - c) = distance from pier to pier
4(r + c) = 5(r - c)
4(r + 20 - r) = 5(r - 20 + r)
80 = 10r - 100
180 = 10r
18 = r
The speed in still water is 18 km/hour
