Answer: Taylor is 14 and Jessi is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can't divide 27 by 2, you would most likely break it in half. SInce the question states that Taylor is still older, she would be 14, and Jessi 13.

Jen Butler has been pricing Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $ 132.

Let a=price of adult ticket
let c=price of a child's ticket
start out by writing the following system of equations:
3a+4c=132
2a+3c=94
then, multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3 to get the following system of equations:
6a+8c=264
6a+9c=282
subtract the like terms to get the following equation:
-c=-18
divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative to get the price of a child's ticket to be $18. to find the price of an adult ticket, pick one of the original equations to substitute the 18 in for c to find a. for example:
2a+3c=94
2a+3(18)=94
2a+54=94
-54 -54
2a=40
2 2
a=20

or if you decide to use the other equation:
3a+4c=132
3a+4(18)=132
3a+72=132
-72 -72
3a=60
3 3
a=20
either way, you still get an adults ticket to be $20 and a child's ticket to be $18.

When 23 is subtracted from the square root of three times a number, the result is 16. find the number?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

(√3n)-23=16

Put all of the numbers without a variable on the right side of the equation
(√3n)=39

Simplify
1.732051n=39

Divide 39 by 1.732051
n=22.516658

Round
n=22.5
