Let the number of years Brad has been on the soccer team be represented by x, and let y represent the number of years Scott has been on the same team.
From the information given, we formulate the equations:
5y - 2 = x -----(1)
x + y = 10 -----(2)
Now, substituting equation (1) into equation (2):
5y - 2 + y = 10
6y - 2 = 10
6y = 12
y = 2
Next, substituting this value back to find x:
x = 5×2 - 2
x = 8
So, Brad has spent a total of 8 years in the team.
Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
We perform addition.
a) The total of 48 added to itself
= 48 + 48 = 96
b) Its half plus half of the half
= 96 + (1/2 × 48) + (1/2 × (1/2 × 48)
= 96 + 24 + (1/2 × 24)
= 96 + 24 + 12
= 132
c) plus 18
= 132 + 18
= 150
Thus, adding 48 to itself, its half, and half of that to 18 results in 150.
If the clock loses 0.1 hours every day, it will take 120 days to lose a total of 12 hours. Counting 120 days from May 17 leads to September 14.
