B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets

b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28

(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets

Jessica is 5 years older than her sister Jenna. Jenna tells her sister that in 5 years, she will be as old as Jessica was 5 year
emmasim [6.3K]
                          Jenna's age                   Jessica's age

today                         x                               x + 5


in 5 years                 x+5 

5 years ago                                                   x + 5 - 5


Equality                  x + 5 = x + 5 - 5

=> x + 5 = x


The equation is x + 5 = x


That equation has not any solution, because it reduces to 5 = 0, which is an absurd.


So, the conclusion is that information given by Jenna is wrong.


It is logical: if the difference of the ages is 5, in five years Jenna will have 10 years more than what her sister had 5 years ago, no 5 as she told Jessica.
