Answer:
oops sorry accidental click i don't know how to get out sorry for letting you down
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Tony's age = x
He is 4 years younger than his brother Josh, so Josh's age would be x + 4
He is 2 years older than his sister, so her age would be x - 2
He has a twin, which would be the same age, so the twins age is also x
They all add together to equal 66, so you get:
x + x + x+4 + x-2 = 66
Simplify:
4x +2 = 66
Subtract 2 from both sides:
4x = 64
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 64/4 = 16
Tony is 16 years old.
The mileage from the Supermarket to the Library may be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem.
The coordinates of the Library are (7,10) and the coordinates of the Supermarket are (3,7).
So, the distance requested is √ [ (7-3)^2 + (10 - 7)^2 = √[ 4^2 + 3^2 = √ [16 + 9] =
= √25 = 5
So, he runs 5 miles.
And the reimbursement will be $0.50 / mile * 5 mile = $ 2.50.
Answer: option B) $ 2.50
