A pitcher is 30 years old, and a vase is 22 years old. How many years ago was the pitcher twice as old as the vase?Show all steps!
Answers
22 - 14 = 8
16/8 = 2
Final answer:
The pitcher was twice as old as the vase 14 years ago.
Explanation:
To find the number of years, x, ago when the pitcher was twice as old as the vase, we can set up an equation using their ages.
Let's say x years ago, the pitcher was twice as old as the vase.
So, the equation would be:
$(30 - x) = 2(22 - x)$
Simplifying the equation, we get:
$30 - x = 44 - 2x$
Combining like terms, we have:
$2x - x = 44 - 30$
$x = 14$
Therefore, the pitcher was twice as old as the vase 14 years ago.

Divide your fractions to get a decimal. Compare your decimals.
Answer:
Sinla
Step-by-step explanation:
Kanya: .15 is less because that would be 15/100. Sinla: two ninths is the most because it is 2/9. Than: three twentieths is less because that would be 3/20. Jessica is less because she would have eaten 2/10

Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:Henry and 28 classmates go to the roller skating rink .
⇒ Total classmates=1+28=29
Capacity of van=11 students
To find the number of students are in van which is not full, we need to divide total students by capacity of van
On dividing 29 by 11 we get,
Quotient=2, Remainder=7
As 29=2×11+7
Therefore number of vans which are full =2
the number of students remains after 2 van which are full=7
⇒ The number of students are in the van not full=7
so you have 2 full vans and one with 7 students.
so the answer is 7
B) -13
C) 7
D) 13.

D because you - 6 by -20 to get -26 then divide -2 by -26 to get 13
Answer: D) 13
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+6=-20 (given equation)
-2x=-26 (subtract 6 from both sides)
x=13 (divide each side by 13)

dt = r
d /t = r
d/r = t
Answers
The expression which is not equivalent to other three is dt = r
What is an expression?
Numbers, symbols and operators grouped together that show the value of something.
Given are the four expressions, d = rt, dt = r, d /t = r, d/r = t
2) dt = r
d = r/t
3) d/t = r
d = tr
4) d/r = t
d = rt
Hence, we can say the expression dt = r is unequal to the other three.

4y-8>10
Add 8
4y-8+8>10+8
4y>18
Now divide both sides by 4
4y/4 > 18/4
y>9/2
Now let's see if it will be true
Replace y by its value
4(9/2)-8>10
36/2 -8 > 10
18-8 > 10
10 > 10
That's false because 10 can not smaller than 10
so it should be = instead

Answer:
C. The closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of the paycheck = $2,285.00
Now, the amount donated to charity = 5%
Calculating the amount of charity, we get:
5 % of $2,285.00 =
So, the total amount generate to the charity = $114.25 ... (1)
Also amount put in savings = 20%
Calculating the amount of savings, we get:
20 % of $2,285.00 =
So, the total amount saved = $457 ... (2)
Now, the total amount donated + saved = ( $114.25) + ($457)
= $571. 25
Hence, the closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.
