73-(10+3)=60 you have to add 7 and 3 first, then you subtract it from 73

Amy's age=x
ben's age=x+3
chris' age=x+3+10
x+x+3+x+3+10=73
3x+16=73
3x=73-16
3x=57
x=19
Amy is 19 years old

A collection of 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels is worth $21. A table titled Coin Collection showing Number of Co

harina [27]

Answer:

q = 108-n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels

q = 108-n

since total number of coins is 108, and n= number of nickels

If you want to know how many of each kind of coin, read on:

First solve the number of quarters and nickels.

If all 108 coins are quarters, the value is 108*0.25 = $27

Since this value exceed the actual by 27-21 = $6,

we replace a number of quarters by nickels.

Each replacement will reduce the value by 25 - 5 = 20 cents = 0.2 dollars.

So it will take 6/0.2 = 30 replacements.

Therefore there are 108-35 = 78 quarters and 30 nickels.

Scott likes to run long distances. He can run 20 \text{ km}20 km20, start text, space, k, m, end text in 858585 minutes. He want

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

<em>Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

The speed of an object can be calculated with the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where d is the distance traveled and t is the time taken.

Scott can run d=20 km in 85 minutes. Thus, his speed is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{20}{85}\ km/min$

Now he wants to know how many minutes it will take him to run d=52 km. Solving the formula for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}$

Since the speed has been already determined:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{52}{\frac{20}{85}}$

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

$\displaystyle t=52*\frac{85}{20}$

t = 221 min

Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km

Function f is a linear function with an initial value of 17 and a rate of change of –3. Some values for the linear function g ar

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

g(x) exceed f(x) by $10$ when $x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of function f(x)

we know that

The initial value is the y-intercept of the linear function (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

so

$b=17$

The rate of change is equal to the slope

so

$m=-3$

therefore

$f(x)=-3x+17$

step 2

Find the equation of function g(x)

Let

$A(0,-8),B(2,0)$

Find the slope

$m=(0+8)/(2-0)=4$

$b=-8$ ----> point A

therefore

$g(x)=4x-8$

step 3

Find the value of f(x) and g(x) for $x=5$

$f(5)=-3(5)+17=2$

$g(5)=4(5)-8=12$

Find the difference

$g(5)-f(5)=12-2=10$
