Answer:
18 1/2 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3= 15 1/2
x= 15 1/2 + 3
x= 18 1/2
Hunter is 18 1/2 years old.
42 and 14
explanation:
x+y = 56
x = 3y
Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14
So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.
Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.
x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56
x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42
So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.
Answer:
44750
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimes= $0.10
Nickels=$0.05
$1.10 could hold 11 dimes or 22 nickels, but there on only 15 coins are in this total.
So a total of 7 dimes and 8 nickels is 15 coins and equal to $1.10
Answer:
1. x =8
2. x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since these figures are parallelograms, the opposite sides are equal.
1. 6 = 2x-10
Add 10 to each side
6+10 = 2x-10+10
16 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
16/2 = 2x/2
8 =x
2. x+14 =23
Subtract 14 from each side
x+14-14 = 23-14
x = 9
