Randy, Sandy and Todd are my cousins and their combined age is 87 years. Randy is four times as old as Sandy, but Todd is actually 15 years older than Sandy. How old are each of my cousins

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Randy is 48 years old

Sandy is 12 years old

Todd is 27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent their ages with the first letters of their names:

[tex]R + S + T = 87[/tex]

[tex]R = 4 * S[/tex]

[tex]T = 15 + S[/tex]

Required

Determine their individual ages

We'll solve the above equations using substitution method of simultaneous equations

Substitute 15 + S for T and 4 * S for R in [tex]R + S + T = 87[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]4 * S + S + 15 + S = 87[/tex]

[tex]4 S + S + 15 + S = 87[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4 S + S + S = 87 - 15[/tex]

[tex]6S = 72[/tex]

Divide through by 6

[tex]S = 72/6[/tex]

[tex]S = 12[/tex]

This implies that Sandy is 12 years old

Substitute 12 for S in [tex]R = 4 * S[/tex] and  [tex]T = 15 + S[/tex]

[tex]R = 4 * 12[/tex]

[tex]R = 48[/tex]

[tex]T = 15 + 12[/tex]

[tex]T = 27[/tex]

This implies that Randy is 48 years old and Todd is 27

DUE 10:00 PM HELP ASAP. When Sarah left your house this morning her cell phone was 80% charged and then it started to lose 8% charge for each hour there after write an equation for B in terms of t representing the charge remaining in series battery as percentage t hours after Sara left her house

Answers

Answer:

b=80-8t

Step-by-step explanation:

"b" represents the charge remaining

"t" represents the number of hrs that have passed.

"80" is the reference we will be subtracting the hours from.

"8" is the percentage per hour we will be subtracting

therefore, the equation b=80-8t would solve for the remaining battery after "t" number of hours.  

B=80-8t

What kind of linear relationship can be represented using a table but not a function? Explain. (1 point)
O A horizontal line can be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is undefined
A vertical line can be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is undefined.
O A vertical line can be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is zero.
O A horizontal line can be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is zero

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A vertical line can be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

A function, f(x), representing a linear relationship can be presented as follows;

f(x) = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope = Δy/Δx = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

c = The y-intercept

Whereby the line is a vertical line, x₂ = x₁ and x₂ - x₁ =

Therefore;

The slope of a vertical function, m =  (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (y₂ - y₁)/0 = ∞ from which we have;

f(x) = ∞·x + c = ∞ which is undefined and the vertical line can only be represented using a table but not a function because the slope is undefined

A piece of string has been used to measure the circumference of a circle. Use a ruler to measure the diameter of the circle and the length of the string to the nearest 1/4 inch

Answers

Answer:

The circumference is expressed usingC=2πr

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on the mensuration of flat shapes, a circle.

The length of the string corresponds to the circumference of the circle.

The lenght of the string can be calculated by using the expression for circumference, if after using the ruler to obtain the diameter "d"

upon measuring the diameter we can further obtain the radius "r"

The expression for the radius is r=d/2 (the radius is half the diameter)

C=2πr

where pi= 3.124 a constant term

Hence Circumference is the same as the length of the string

Step-by-step explanation:

this is going to take me a long time to explain but here we go

so you need to do 180 - 116 and get 64.

then create a equation that is like this 7y + 6 + 4y + 64 = 180

when you solve it you get y = 10

then plug in 10 in for y in 4y. and you get 40 for c

do the same for d and you will get 76

Bamboo Plant A is 1.2 meters tall and growing at a rate of 0.45 meter per day. Bamboo Plant B is 0.85 meter tall and growing 0.5 meter per day. After how many days will Plant B be taller than Plant A?

Answers

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Bamboo plant A = 1.2 + 0.45d

Bamboo plant B = 0.85 + 0.5d

Where,

d = number of days

Equate the two growth

Bamboo plant A = Bamboo plant B

1.2 + 0.45d = 0.85 + 0.5d

Collect like terms

1.2 - 0.85 = 0.5d - 0.45d

0.35 = 0.05d

Divide both sides by 0.05

d = 0.35 / 0.05

d = 7 days

Plant B be taller than Plant A after 7 days

Some people advise that in very cold​ weather, you should keep the gas tank in your car more than half full. Irene​'s car had 6.4 gallons in the 14​-gallon tank on the coldest day of the year. Irene filled the tank with gas that cost ​$3.90 per gallon. How much did Irene spend on​ gas?

Answers

Answer:

$24.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of gallons irede had in his tank = 6.4gallons

Price per gallon is $3.90

To get the cost of 6.4gallons;

If 1 gallon = $3.90

6.4gallons = $x

Cross multiply

1 * x = 3.90 * 6.4

x = 24.96

Hence Irene spent $24.96 on gas
