Answer: -5, -7, and -9
Step-by-step explanation:
checking the pattern they are subtracting by two by the next term, so subtracting 2 from -3 would be -5 and so on.
Answer:
y= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 y + 7 = 15
Subtract 7 from each side
2/3 y + 7-7 = 15-7
2/3 y = 8
Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3/2 * 8
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3 * 4
y = 12
Answer:
try math wa y
Step-by-step explanation:
it will give u the answer to most questions the answer is c
The |...| means absolute value meaning everything inside is a positive number. The first problem is 16+12= 28. |-5|= 5
So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27
so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100 so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48
Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995
