Sketch of my solutions, items 1-9, word problems.

6. Let x be the amount of water to be added to the solution.

1. Let x - number of jeeps with spare tire, y - number of jeeps without spare tire.
Jeep
No spare tire
x

x = 30, y = 20. Twenty have a spare tire.

(200 + x)(0.10) = 200(0.70)

x = 1200. 1200 mL of water must be added.

p+s

2x + 4y = 130
p = 15, s = 25. There are 15 people.
8. Let x be the distance run by Harry, t number of seconds until Harry cathes Zayn

x = 90, y = 60, t = 30. After 30 seconds.

3. Let x be the dinosaurs age now, y be Ke$has age now

y-3 = 4(x-3) y+7 = 3(x+7)

y 3 = 4(x 3)
y + 7 = 3(x + 7)
x = 23, y = 83. Twenty-three years old.

x = 80. Harry would have to run 80 meters.

9. (several possible answers)
Let x, y, and z be the hundreds, tens, and ones digit of our number.

100z + 10y + x

100x + 10z + y = 100x + 10y + z 27
100z + 10y + x = 100x + 10y + z 297
x = y, z = y 3, with x, y and z taking in values from 0-9.
Possible numbers: 330, 441, 552, 663, 774, 885, 996.
