Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations would be \left \{ {{5t=6t-1} \atop {6t-1=5t}} \right.

Solve by substitution:

1) Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

6t -1+ 1 = 5t + 1

2) Simplify:

6t=5t+1

3) Subtract 5t to both sides of the equation:

6t - 5t = 5t -5t + 1

4) Simplify:

t=1

When they have skated for 1 hour, Mandy will catch up to Nikki.

Solve the Equation p+5/8=15/16?
Sphinxa [80]
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get: 
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!

Kevin is three years older than Daniel. Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

I believe that Kevin is 6 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the guess and check method to figure this out.

First, I began by making Daniel 1 years old, two years ago. Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel two years ago, so he would be 4 at the time. Now, Daniel would be 3 and Kevin would be 6 years old. The statement that Kevin is three years older than Daniel would confirm this, because 6-3=3.  Hope this helps, this is my first time answering:)
