Answer:
6 chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
If there was 2 chocolates left and he had just eaten a third that would mean he had eaten 1
That would mean there would have been three chocolates before he put away the groceries
Double that to make up for the chocolates eaten during the walk home = 6
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
-75 divided (-15) = 5
Answer:
(1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-2y=-3 -2x-y=-6 =>
5x-2y=-3
-2x-y=-6 Multiply all three terms by -2: 4x + 2y = 12
Then we have:
5x-2y=-3
4x + 2y = 12
---------------------
9x = 9 and so x = 1. Then, using -2x - y = -6, and substituting 1 for x:
-2(1) - y = -6, or
2 + y = 6, or
y = 4
Then the solution is (1, 4)
Answer:
When Amina is 18. Saad would be;
k. 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "x" represent Anita's current age and let "y" represent Saad's current age, we have;
Anita's age = 2 × Saad's age
Therefore;
x = 2 × y...(1)
In 4 years, we will get;
x + 4 = 1.5 × (y + 4)...(2)
Substituting the value of x in equation (1) into equation (2), we get;
2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 1.5 × 4 = 1.5·y + 6
2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 6
2·y - 1.5·y = 6 - 4 = 2
0.5·y = 2
y = 2/0.5 = 4
Saad's current age = y = 4 years
From equation (1), we have;
x = 2 × y = 2 × 4 = 8
Amina's current age = x = 8 years
When Amina is 18, we have;
18 = 10 + 8 = 10 + x
Therefore, Amina would be 18 in 10 years time from now, from which we have;
Saad would be 10 years + y = 10 years + 4 years = 14 years in 10 years from now
Therefore, when Amina would be 18 years in 10 years from now Saad would be 14 years.
