Devi’s mother is three times as old as Devi. Five years ago, Devi’s mother was four times as old as Devi was then. Find their present ages

Answers

Answer:

Devi's present age = 15 years

Devi's Mother's present age = 45 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Devi be x years.

Therefore, mother's present age = 3x

Five years ago:

Devi's age = (x - 5) years

Mother's age =( 3x - 5) years

According to the given condition:

Five years ago:

Devi's mother's age = 4 times Devi's age

3x - 5 = 4( x - 5)

3x - 5 = 4x - 20

20 - 5 = 4x - 3x

15 = x

x = 15 years

3x = 3* 15 = 45 years

Hence,

Devi's present age = 15 years

Devi's Mother's present age = 45 years

Which system of inequalities represents region Z?

Hey there!

The two lines in this graph are: y=-1/5x+2, and y=3x-2

Since y=-1/5x+2 is a dotted line, we know that we use the < or > symbols.

Since y=3x-2 is a straight line, we use the ≤ and ≥ symbols.

Thus, for area z, we have y<-1/5x+2, and y≥3x-2

The ratio of Ed's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was initially 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal number of cars. How many toy cars did they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

{Y=(x-2)^2+2

Answers

Answer:

(5, 11) and (2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x-2)² + 2

y + 4 = 3x

(x-2)² + 2 + 4 = 3x

x² - 4x + 4 + 6 = 3x

x² - 7x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0, x = 5

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

y = (5-2)² + 2 = 11

(5, 11)

y = (2-2)² + 2 = 2

(2, 2)

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \text{ The solutions are } x=2, y=2 \text{ and } x=5, y=11.} \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

We want to solve this system of equations.

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y+4=3x\end{cases}[/tex]

This is equivalent to (subtract 4 from the second equation).

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y=3x-4\end{cases}[/tex]

Then, we can write y = y, meaning:

[tex](x-2)^2+2=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We develop the left side. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+4+2=3x-4 \\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-4x+6=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We subtract 3x-4 from both sides. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+6-3x+4=0\\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-7x+10=0[/tex]

[tex]\text{*** The sum of the zeroes is 7 and the product 10 = 5 x 2 ***}\\\\\text{*** We can factorise. ***}\\\\x^2-5x-2x+10=x(x-5)-2(x-5)=(x-2)(x-5)=0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ \ or \ \ x-5 = 0\\\\x= 2 \ \ or \ \ x=5[/tex]

For x = 2, y =0+2=2 (from the first equation) and for x = 5 y=3*5-4=15-4=11 (from the second equation)

So the solutions are (2,2) and (5,11)

Hope this helps.

A chemist is mixing two solutions, solution A and solution B Solution A is 15% water and solution Bis 20% water. She already has a
beaker with 10mL of solution A in it. How many mL of solution B must be added to the beaker in order to create a mixture that is 18%
water?

Answers

Answer:

15 mL of the solution with 20% water will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the inverse relationship

10 mL * (18-15)% = x mL * (20-18)%

x = 10 mL * (3/2) = 15 mL

Answer: 15mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a table. Multiply across and add down. The bottom row (Mixture) creates the equation.

                   Qty     ×     %             =      Total          

Solution A     10         15% → 0.15          10(0.15) = 1.5

Solution B      x          20% → 0.20        x(0.20) = 0.20x

Mixture      10 + x   ×    18% → 0.18   =    1.5 + 0.20x

                                  (10 + x)(0.18) = 1.5 + 0.20x

                                    1.8 + 0.18x  = 1.5 + 0.20x

                                    1.8               = 1.5 + 0.02x

                                    0.3              =          0.02x

Solve the equation by completing the square.

3x^2-12x=96

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

or

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 12x = 96

Divide both sides by 3

x² - 4x = 32

Add 4 to both sides

x² - 4x + 4 = 32 + 4

(x - 2)² = 6²

Find the square root of both sides

√(x - 2)² = √6²

x - 2 = +/- 6

x - 2 = +6 or -6

x - 2=+6

x=6+2

x=8

x - 2=-6

x=-6+2

x=-4

x = 8

or

x = -4

This table gives a few (x,y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.

Answers

Answer:

x-intercept → (-5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line having pairs given in the table is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

m = slope of the line

(x', y') is a point lying on the line.

From the given table,

Two points (33, -22) and (52, -33) lie on the line.

Slope of the line = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

                        m = [tex]\frac{-33+22}{52-33}[/tex]

                        m = [tex]-\frac{11}{19}[/tex]

Equation of the line passing through (33, -22) and slope = [tex]-\frac{11}{19}[/tex] will be,

y + 22 = [tex]-\frac{11}{19}(x - 33)[/tex]

For x-intercept y = 0,

0 + 22 = [tex]-\frac{11}{19}(x-33)[/tex]

-38 = x - 33

x = -38 + 33

x = -5

Therefore, x-intercept of the line is (-5, 0).

PLSSSS HELPPP. The price of a tennis racquet is inversely proportional to its weight. If a 20 oz. racquet cost $30.00, what would a 25 oz. racquet cost?

Answers

Answer:

$24 will be the cost of tennis racquet with weight 25 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Price of racquet is inversely proportional to its weight.

i.e.

[tex]Price \propto \dfrac{1}{Weight}[/tex]

We can replace the proportional sign with a constant of proportionality.

[tex]Price = \dfrac{C}{Weight}[/tex]

Where C is a constant named as constant of proportionality.

Given that cost of 20 oz. racquet is $30.00

Putting both the values :

[tex]30 = \dfrac{C}{20}\\\Rightarrow C = 600[/tex]

So, the equation becomes:

[tex]Price = \dfrac{600}{Weight}[/tex]

Now, we have to find the price of 25 oz. racquet.

Putting Weight = 25 oz and finding Price:

[tex]Price = \dfrac{600}{25}\\\Rightarrow Price = \$24[/tex]

So, $24 will be the cost of tennis racquet with weight 25 oz.

On a coordinate plane, a graph shows Street on the x-axis and Avenue on the y-axis. A line is drawn from Tia to Lei. Tia is at (4, 8) and Lei is at (12, 20). Tia lives at the corner of 4th Street and 8th Avenue. Lei lives at the corner of 12th Street and 20th Avenue. The fruit market is Three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home.

Answers

Answer:

(10, 17)

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to explain with a picture or drawing, but I am new to this, so I would try using words.

Assuming the fruit market is on that straight line from Tia's home to Lei's, So we look at both address (coordinates)

From Tia to Lei, x coordinate is from 4 to 12, that's increased by 8, divide by 4, one step is 2.

y coordinate is from 8 to 20, an increase of 12, divide by 4 again, one step is 3.

The fruit market is at 3/4 distance, so 3 steps, on both x and y coordinates.

x: 4+6 = 10

y: 8+9=17

The fruit market is at point (10,17)

What is graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

The point (x,y) which divides the segment AB with endpoints at A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in ratio m:n has cordinates

[tex]x= \dfrac{nx_1+nx_2}{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]y= \dfrac{ny_1+ny_2}{m+n}[/tex]

Tia is at P(4, 8) and Lei is at Q(12, 20).

The fruit market (F) is three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home, then PM : PQ = 3:4 or PM : MQ = 3:1

So,

[tex]x= \dfrac{1.4+3.12}{3+1} = \dfrac{4+36}{4} = \dfrac{40}{4} = 10 \\y= \dfrac{1.8+3.20}{3+1} = \dfrac{8+60}{4} = \dfrac{68}{4} = 17[/tex]

Hence, the fruit market is at point (10,17) which means it is placed at the corner of 10th Street and 17th Avenue.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

The linear equation is given below.

4x – 3y = 24

Convert the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form. Then we have

4x – 3y = 24

3y = 4x - 24

y = (4/3)x - 24 / 3

y = (4/3)x - 8

The equation 4x – 3y = 24 can be represented in the slope-intercept form will be y = (4/3)x - 8.
