The sum of four siblings ages is 71. The second child’s age is twice the youngest, the third child’s age is twelve more than the youngest, and the oldest child is four less than three times the youngest. Find each of the siblings ages.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 9, 18, 21, and 23 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve any problem like this, you want to assign a variable to each child because you dont know their age. So lets write an equation and assign variables to these children.

r = first child (youngest)

x = second child

y = third child

z = fourth child (oldest)

We know that r + x + y + z = 71

We also are given info on the comparisons of their ages.

r = r

x = 2r (2 times the youngest)

y = 12 + r (12 more than the youngest)

z = 3r - 4 (4 less than 3 times the youngest)

That was the easy part tbh, now we have to solve for 'r'. We can see that all the ages are a function of the same variable (r), and we know the sum of them is equal to 71. So lets solve for r and then plug that r value into each equation we just derived.

Child #1 (youngest)

[tex]r+2r+(12+r)+(3r-4)=71\\3r+12+r+3r-4=71\\7r+12-4=71\\7r+8=71\\7r=63\\r=9yrs[/tex]

Child #2

[tex]x=2*9=18yrs[/tex]

Child #3

[tex]y=12+r=12+9=21yrs[/tex]

Child #4 (oldest)

[tex]z=3r-4=(3*9)-4=27-4=23yrs[/tex]

Fact Check:

[tex]9+18+21+23=71[/tex]

Aline has an x-intercept of 3 and a y-intercept of -6.
The slope-intercept form of its equation is

Answers

(0,6) & (3,0)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-6)/(3-0)

m = -6/3

m = -2

Substitute the values in y = mx + c

0 = -2(6) + c

c = 12

Thus, the equation is y = -2x + 12

Answer:

y=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can plug this into the slope formula, x-intercept of 3 would be (3,0)

and y intercept of -6 would be (0,-6).  

Find the slope using the slope formula. The slope is 2

We are given a y-intercept of -6

therefore, the answer is y=2x-6

Answers

Answer: Choice C{ (-2,2), (0,2), (7,2), (11,2) }

Here we don't have any repeated x values.

In choice A, x = 2 repeats. In other words, x = 2 leads to multiple y outputs. So this is not a function. Choices B and D are similar stories. A function is only possible if every x leads to exactly one y value only. The graph must pass the vertical line test.

Side note: the y values can repeat, but the function won't be one-to-one.

2. 0    

3. 6

4. 6

5. 90

6. 90

Step-by-step explanation:

x is greater than or equal to 0, and h is greater than or equal to 0, because since it is ascending, it is constantly getting more time, and getting higher up. The slope is 6, so the change of the feet for the hot air balloon is 6 feet per second, and the h- intercept is 90, so the first time you noticed it, is was at 90 feet, so put your points at (0,90) and at (30, 180)

A plot of land is valued at $18,000.Land tax is charged at the rate of 0.70 per $100. What is the total amount of tax paid for the land?

Answers

Answer:

The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

The land tax charged is 0.7 per each $100 of the land value. For easy calculations, we find the ratio or proportion to be applied to the value of the land as:

0.7 / 100 =0.007

This factor can be used to obtain the tax charged for a given value of the land.

The plot of land of the question is valued at $18,000.

The tax charged is, then:

0.007*18,000 = 126

The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126

Step-by-step explanation:

a certain map shows two roads. road a is 1 1/4 miles long but is 1 1/2 inches long on the map. what the unit rate for inches per miles on this map? if road b is 10 miles long, how long is road b on the map?

Answers

Answer:

30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of road A = 1¼ miles

Length of road A on map = 1½ inches

Unit rate for inches per miles on the map = 1½ inches ÷ 1¼ miles = ³/2 ÷ ⁵/4 = ³/2 × ⅘ = ⁶/5 inches per mile

Length big Road B on map:

Road B actual length = 10 miles

Thus, using the unit rate of ⁶/5 inches to 1 mile, length of road B on map would be calculated as shown below:

⁶/5 × 10 = 6*5 = 30 inches

Road B is 30 inches long on the map.

solution for 3/4x - 12 = -18?

Answers

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 12 on both sides

You get 3/4x = -6

Multiply 4/3 on both sides

You get x = -24/3

Simplify and you get -8.

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why x is -8 is because

The first step is to isolate the x

To isolate the x you got to add 12 to both sides

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]x-12+12=-18+12

the -12 gets canceled out by the positive twelve so all thats left now is

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]x=-18+12,-18+12 is -6 so its  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]x=-6

The second step is to divide

now you have to divide by [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] on both sides

[tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4} x}{\frac{3}4} } =\frac{-6}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex]

which [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is taken out on the left side because its divided by itself so all thats left is a one,while on the right side -6 divided by three-fourths is -8

Five less than three times a number is 1. Find the number

Answers

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

"Five less" = subtract 5

"three times a number" = 3 × n, or 3n

"is 1" means = 1

3n - 5 = 1

Step 2: Solve for n

Add 5 to both sides: 3n = 6Divide both sides by 3: n = 2
