Tristan is 22 years younger than sydney. 8 years ago, sydney's age was 2 times tristan's age. how old is tristan now?

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Tristan's age by t and Sydney's by s.

Then s - 8 = 2(t - 8), and t = s - 22

Substituting s - 22 in the first equation, we get:

s - 8 = 2(s - 22 - 8), or

s - 8 = 2s - 60

Solving for s:  -2s + s = -60 + 8, or -s = -52.

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
