I'm really bad at age chart problems. Can someone help me with this and provide an explanation?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fed [463]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

tony is 5 years younger than Marvin's age 1 year from now.

t = (m+1) - 5

t = m - 4

6 years ago tony was half as old as marvin was then.

t - 6 = 1/2(m - 6)

Get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by 2

2(t-6) = m - 6

2t - 12 = m - 6

2t = m - 6 + 12

2t = m + 6

from the first statement, replace t with (m-4)

2(m-4) = m + 6

2m - 8 = m + 6

2m - m = 6 + 8

m = 14 is Marvin's present age

:

how old is tony now?

t = 14 - 4

t = 10 yrs is tony's age

2. A machine burns m gallons of oil each hour on weekends and ngallons each hour on weekdays. How many gallons of oil are burned
Lynna [10]

The question says the machine uses up m gallons of oil each hour on weekends.

This means that if the machine works for 24 hours each day, it implies that:

\text{Total amount of oil used up in a day = 24}\times m=24m

There are only two days on weekends i.e. Saturday and Sunday.

This means that if the amount of oil used in 1 day in the weekend is 24m, then we can say:

Saturday: oil used is 24m

Sunday: oil used is 24m

Total oil used during the weekend is:

24m+24m=48m

What are the square roots of 100? Check all that apply.
Helga [31]
There are three options which are the square roots of 100, and those are C. -10, D. 10, and F. |10|
C: (-10)^2 = -10 * -10 = 100 (- * - = +)
D: 10 * 10 = 100
F: |10| = 10, and 10 * 10 = 100 (these brackets make a negative number positive, and a positive number stays positive)
