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.

Joy definitely does have enough soup for 22 people.


Step-by-step explanation:

Upper Bound: 285ml  turn it to 0.285 L                      10÷2=5

280ml  :

Lower Bound: 275ml turn it  to 0.275 L

Upper Bound: 6.75 L                           0.5÷2=0.25

6.5 Litters  :

Lower Bound:6.25  L

6.75÷0.275=24.54 or 25  

6.25÷0.285=21.92 or 22

belka [17]

system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is  x+8y=68 and 3x+4y=64   .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. We need to find Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y . Let's find out:

Let the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y .So

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles

Equation is  :

⇒ 3x+4y=64  .....(1)

At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles.

Equation is  :

⇒ x+8y=68  .......(2)

3(2)-(1) i.e.

⇒ 3(x+8y)-(3x+4y)=68(3)-64

⇒ 20y=140

⇒ y=7

So , x+8y=68  

⇒  x+8(7)=68

⇒  x=12

Therefore , system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is  x+8y=68 and 3x+4y=64   .
