X - Jack's age
y - Susan's age

Jack is 27 years older than Susan.
x=y+27

In 5 years he will be 4 times as old as she is.
x+5=4(y+5)

The system of equations:
x=y+27 \\ x+5=4(y+5) \\ \\ \hbox{substitute y+27 for x in the 2nd equation:} \\ y+27+5=4(y+5) \\ y+32=4y+20 \\ y-4y=20-32 \\ -3y=-12 \\ y=\frac{-12}{-3} \\ y=4 \\ \\ x=y+27=4+27=31

Jack is 31 years old and Susan is 4 years old.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.

24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be

24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.

The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be

1800 - 432 = 1368 litres

The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be

18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.

The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.

This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be

7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.

The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be

77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres

Determine the number of atoms in<br> 98.3 g mercury, Hg
Arisa [49]
The answer is 2.95 × 10²³ atoms

Atomic mass is 200.59 g.
So, 1 mole has 200.59 g. Let's calculate how many moles have 98.3 g:
1M : 200.59g = x : 98.3g
x = 98.3 g * 1 M : 200.59 g = 0.49 M

To calculate this, we will use Avogadro's number which is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance:

6.023 × 10²³ atoms per 1 mole
<span>How many atoms are in 0.49 mole:
</span>6.023 × 10²³ atoms : 1M = x : 0.49M
x = 6.023 × 10²³ atoms : 1M * 0.49M = 2.95 × 10²³ atoms
