Answer:

Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this step by step and try to visualize the situation.

• Carl: 73 inches tall

The second part of the question states that Carl's heigh is twenty-one inches less than two times Marcia's height. Add 73 + 21 to equal 94. Since Carl is 21 inches less that means that Maria is 21 inches more ( so that's why I added instead of subtracting) because we are trying to find Maria's equation.

Let x be Marcia's height

2x = 94

• The question staes that 73 is 21 inches less than two times Marcia's height which means that the equation 2x = 94 applies because 73 + 21 = 94

After simplifying the equation, we can get the answer that Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Carl  = 73

Marcia = 2x - 21 = 73

Solution

2x - 21 = 73                           Add 21 to both sides.

2x = 73 + 21                          Combine

2x = 94                                 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 94/2

x = 47

Answer:

x \geq 3(y + z)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

Mary's amount is x.

Ashley's amount is y.

Oscar's amount is z.

Mary has at least 3 times the amount of cash that ashley and oscar have combined

Ashley's and Oscar's combined amount is y + z.

3 times this amount is 3(y + z).

At least 3 times means that z is equal or greater than 3(y + z).

So

x \geq 3(y + z)

Answer:

34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time\ Spent = 6

Phone\ Calls = 40

Required

Number of minutes left to spend (x)

Since there's only 1 minute left to spend on every other call;

Time left = x * 1

Time left = x

The required can further be calculated using:

Time\ Spent + Time\ Left = Phone\ Calls

This gives:

6 + x = 40

Subtract 6 from both sides

x = 40 - 6

x = 34

<em>Hence, there are 34 minutes left to spend</em>
