Let the unknown number be y.
We can list the equation out by the clues given.
5y + 12 = 52
Then solve this as simple algebra!
Shift +12 to the other side and be - 12
5y = 52-12
5y = 40
Shift x5 to the other side and be ÷5
y = 40 / 5
y = 8
Therfore the unknown number is 8.
Answer:
$72
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply $120*0.40 to see how much money is being taken off, this equals $48. Remember that this $48 is how much you want to remove from $120, so 120-48=72.
Answer:
length : 10 yard
width: 14 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length of the yard.
Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.
With width x length=area,
l (2l -6) = 140
2l^2 - 6l = 140
2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
we can determine l = 10 or -7
since the length should not be negative,
the length is 10 yard.
Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.
width = 2(10)-6
= 14 yard
Let Jenny = J
Let Mica = M
J = M + 4
Now you have to represent 5 years ago
J - 5 = 2*(M - 5)
J - 5 = 2M - 10 Substitute J = M + 4 Into this equation
M + 4 - 5 = 2M - 10 Combine terms on the left
M - 1 = 2M - 10 Add 10 to both sides
M - 1 + 10 = 2M Combine one the left
M + 9 = 2M Subtract M from both sides
9 = 2M - M
9 = M Answer Miki
J = M + 4 Substitute Miki's age for M
J = 9 + 4 Answer Jenny
J = 13
Answer:
Jenny = 13
Mika = 9
