Answer:
Part 1) Helen's age is 32 years old and Jane's age is 24 years old
Part 2) 13 twenty-dollar bills
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Helen is 8 years older than Jane. Twenty years ago Helen was three times as old as Jane. How old is each now and what is the equation?
Let
x----> Helen's age
y---> Jane's age
we know that
x=y+8 ----> equation A
(x-20)=3(y-20) -----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y
(y+8-20)=3(y-20)
y-12=3y-60
3y-y=60-12
2y=48
y=24 years
Find the value of x
x=y+8
x=24+8=32 years
Part 2)
Let
x-----> the number of five-dollar bills
y----> the number of twenty-dollar bills
we know that
5x+20y=305 -----> equation A
y=x+4 ------> x=y-4 ------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
5(y-4)+20y=305
5y-20+20y=305
25y=325
y=13 twenty-dollar bills
Find the value of x
x=y-4
x=13-4=9 five-dollar bills
It raining in Alaska and raining in Ohio are independent events. One does not control the other or affect the other in any way.
For two independent events (let's call them A and B), the Probability of A and B both occurring is given by P(A and B) = P(B) x P(B).
For this problem, let A = rain in Ohio and B= rain in Alaska.
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)
If you are graphing quadratic equations of the type
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
The equation will look like a "U" <span>if "a" is positive </span>or it will look like an upside-down "U" <span>if "a" is negative </span>
The solution to your equation is:
Solve:
1/4x = 5
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4
4 * (1/4x) = (4) * (5)
x = 20
Thus your answer is:
Letter Choice (C), x = 20
Hope that helps!!!
In an equation the Left hand side must equal the right hand side
4(5y-8-2)=185-15
20y-32-8=170
20y=170+32+8
20y=210
Therefore y=10,5
When you substitute the 10,5 and solve it on the left and side it's equal to 170 which is the answer on the right hand side
