Blake is 7 years older than Heather. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 55. How old is Blake now?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...

x=7+y

7+x+7+y=55

Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"

Simplify the second equation...

7+x+7+y=55

14+x+y=55

Subtract 21 from both sides

x+y=41

Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)

7+y+y=41

Combine like terms

2y+7=41

Subtract 7 from both sides

2y=34

Divide both sides by 2

y=17

x=7+17=24

Blake is 24 years old now

A taxi hurries for 1 hour 54min with a constant speed of 93km and then for another 5 hours 15min with a constant speed of 72km.
Ghella [55]

Speed  = 93km /h  and  72km/h

Answer: The taxi went a distance of 554.7km

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed  = Distance / Time

Distance covered in the first trip = Speed x Time

Time = 1 hour 54 min =1+0.9 hours  =1.9hours

=93km / h x 1.9 hours =176.7km

Distance covered in the second  trip = Speed x Time

Time = 5 hours 15min = 5+0.25hours  =5.25hours

=72km / h x 5.25hours =378 km

Total distance =176.7km+378 km

=554.7km

​Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2687 base hits last season. Pedro had 283 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Ricky hits 1202 base

Pedro hits = 1485 base

Step-by-step explanation:

Pedro + Ricky = 2687 hits

Let Ricky hits = x

So the Pedro hits will be = x + 283

( x + 283 ) + x = 2687

2 x + 283 = 2687

2 x = 2687 - 283

2 x = 2404

x = 1202

So the Ricky hits 1202 base

Pedro hits (1202 + 283) = 1485 base
