Answer: girls=20, sister=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)
Let 2x= the girl's age (present)
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the question
(x+5)(2x+5)=375
Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
2x²+5x+10x+25=375
Combine like term (5x and 10x)
2x²+15x+25=375
Subtract 375 on both sides
2x²+15x+25-375=375-375
2x²+15x-350=0
Find the factors (cross factor)
(x-10)(x+17.5)=0
x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative
the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.

Out of 340 racers who started the marathon, 302 completed the race, 26 gave up, and 12 were disqualified. What percentage did not complete the marathon?
Answer:
11.18%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total = 340
Completed = 302
Not completed = 340 - 302 = 38
Not completed% = 38/340*100% = 11.18%
Suppose f(x) = 2x-1 and g (x) = x + 1/a. Which value(s) of a would make the composite functions commutative? A. 0 B. 2 C. any value of a D. no value of a
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
A commutative function means that when you insert one function in space of x in the other function, they will equal x. The equation is f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x
So, 2([tex]\frac{x+1}{a}[/tex]) - 1 = [tex]\frac{(2x-1)+1}{a}[/tex]
If you multiply both sides by a, you get 2a([tex]\frac{x+1}{a}[/tex]) - a = (2x-1)+1
Simplify it 2a([tex]\frac{x+1}{a}[/tex]) - a = 2x
Add a to both sides 2a([tex]\frac{x+1}{a}[/tex]) = 2x +a
The two as on the left cancel out 2(x+1)=2x+a
Distribute the 2 2x+2=2x+a
Then subtract 2x from both sides 2 = a
Therefore, a = 2
Hope this helps!

Trevor picked 5 ⅗ pounds of cherries. He distributed them evenly into 12 containers. How many pounds of cherries were in each container?
Answer:
7/15
Step-by-step explanation:
For me, it is easier to take the 3/5 and put it in decimal form which is .6 and add the 5 to it, making 5.6, and then in a calculator put in 5.6 divided by 12 and you should get a big decimal that's pretty big but if you have a graphing calculator and convert that to a fraction and you should get 7/15, This is a pretty lazy way of me doing it but that's how I did it.

The width of kevin's yard is three times the width of his garage, increased by 12 feet. What expression describes the width of kevin's yard if g represents the width of his garage?
Answer:
The expression that describes the width of Kevin’s yard is (3g + 12) feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an expression problem.
From the question, we are made to know that the width of the yard is 3 times the width of the garage increased by 12 feet.
Now, we are told that the width of the garage is g feet and we want to find the width of the yard.
The width of the yard will be g feet * 3 + 12
Mathematically that would be 3g + 12 feet

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Nite Time Inn has a toll-free telephone number so that customers can call at any time to make a reservation. A typical call takes about 4 minutes to complete, and the time required follows an exponential distribution. find the probability that a call takes
a) 3 minutes or less
b) 4 minutes of less
c) 5 minutes of less
d) Longer than 5 minutes
e) Longer than 7 minutes
Answer: a) P(X<3) = 0.882
b) P(X<4) = 0.908
c) P(X<5) = 0.928
d) P(X>5) = 0.286
e) P(X>7) = 0.174
Step-by-step explanation: Exponential distribution is related with teh amount of time until some specific event happens.
If X is a continuous random variable, probability is calculated as:
[tex]P(X<x) = 1-me^{-mx}[/tex]
in which:
m is decay parameter, given by: [tex]m=\frac{1}{mean}[/tex]
For the Nite Time Inn calls:
[tex]m=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
m = 0.25
(a) P(X<3)
[tex]P(X<3) = 1-0.25e^{-0.25.3}[/tex]
[tex]P(X<3) = 1-0.25e^{-0.75}[/tex]
[tex]P(X<3) = 1-0.25*0.472[/tex]
P(X < 3) = 0.882
The probability the call takes less than 3 minutes is 0.882.
(b) P(X<4)
[tex]P(X<4) = 1-0.25e^{-0.25.4}[/tex]
[tex]P(X<4) = 1-0.25e^{-1}[/tex]
P(X < 4) = 0.908
The probability the call takes less tahn 4 minutes is 0.908.
(c) P(X<5)
[tex]P(X<5) = 1-0.25e^{-0.25.5}[/tex]
[tex]P(X<5) = 1-0.25e^{-1.25}[/tex]
P(X < 5) = 0.928
The probability of calls taking less than 5 minutes is 0.928.
(d) P(X>5)
Knowing that the sum of probabilities of less than and more than has to equal 1:
P(X<x) + P(X>x) = 1
P(X>x) = 1 - P(PX<x)
[tex]P(X>x) = 1-(1-me^{-m*x})[/tex]
[tex]P(X>x)=me^{-mx}[/tex]
For P(X>5):
[tex]P(X>5) = 0.25e^{-1.25}[/tex]
P(X > 5) = 0.286
The probability of calls taking more than 5 minutes is 0.286.
(e) P(X>7)
[tex]P(X>7)=0.25e^{-0.25.7}[/tex]
[tex]P(X>7)=0.25e^{-1.75}[/tex]
P(X > 7) = 0.174
The probability of calls taking more than 7 minutes is 0.174.

look at the image and show work 4) translation: 6 units left K, J, I, L
Answer:
K (-5, 2); J (-2, 3); I (-1, 1); L (-5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Translating the shape 6 units to the left means that every point/vertex will be moved 6 units to the left of where it is originally drawn.
Point K is at (1, 2). Since we are only moving it left (on the x-axis), the y value will not change. To move K left 6, we have to subtract 6 from its current x-value, 1. We get -5 for the new x-value. Because the y value didn't change, the new location of K is (-5, 2).
Point J is at (4, 3). Subtracting 6 from 4 (the x value) gives us the new x value of -2. Again, the y value does not change and so our new location for J is (-2, 3).
Point I is at (5, 1). If we subtract 6 from 5, we get -1. This is our new x value for I. The new point is (-1, 1). (Once again, the y value does not change).
Point L is at (1, -3). By subtracting 6 from the original x value, 1, we get our new x value: -5. The new point for L is (-5, -3).

The question is incomplete:
Irene's grandfather arrived in Sydney from Athens at 10 pm on Friday after a 25-hour trip. The flight began at 12 noon on Thursday, Athens time. What is the time difference between Athens and Sydney?
A. Athens time is 9 hours behind Sydney time.
B. Athens time is 9 hours ahead of Sydney time.
C. Athens time is 15 hours behind Sydney time.
D. Athens time is 15 hours ahead of Sydney time.
Answer:
A. Athens time is 9 hours behind Sydney time.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement indicates that the flight began at 12 noon on Thursday, Athens time and that it lasted 25 hours. So, you can calculate the Athens time when he arrived after 25 hours which would be 1 pm on Friday. Also, the statement says that Irene's grandfather arrived in Sydney at 10 pm on Friday and now we know that at that moment it was 1 pm on Friday, Athens time. From these, you can calculate the difference between 1 pm and 10 pm that would be 9 hours. Because of this, the answer is that the time difference between Athens and Sydney is that Athens time is 9 hours behind Sydney time.

Which of the following is an odd function??
O g(x) = x2
O g(x) = 5x - 1
O g(x) = 3
O g(x) = 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd function is where g(x) = -g(-x).
Therefore the answer is g(x) = 4x, as it passes through the origin and g(x) is positive when x is positive, and g(x) is negative when x is negative.
The odd function will be g(x) = 4x. Then the correct option is D.
What is an odd function?A true function f(x) is said to be an odd function if the output value of f(-x) is the same as the negative of f(x) for all values of x in the domain of f.
The equation should be stored in an odd function:
f(-x) = -f(x)
Let's check all the options.
A. The function is g(x) = x².
Substitute x = -x, then we have
g(x) = (-x)²
g(x) = x²
This is an even function.
B. The function is g(x) = 5x – 1.
Substitute x = -x, then we have
g(x) = 5(–x) – 1
g(x) = – (5x + 1)
This is a neither even nor odd.
C. The function is g(x) = 3.
Substitute x = -x, then we have
g(x) = 3
This is an even function.
D. The function is g(x) = x.
Substitute x = -x, then we have
g(x) = -x
g(x) = x
This is an odd function.
Then the correct option is D.

Cynthia besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 33 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can afford to buy 378 ft² of carpeting. What dimensions should the rug have?
Answer:
Length of rug = 14 ft
Width of rug = 27 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of rug = 20 ft
Width of rug = 33 ft
Area she afford = 378 ft²
Find:
New sides
Computation:
Assume;
Uniform strip = x
So,
Length of rug = 20 - x ft
Width of rug = 33 - x ft
Ares = l × b
[20-x][33-x] = 378
660 - 20x - 33x + x² = 378
x² - 53x + 282
x² - 47x - 6x + 282
x(x-47) -6(x-47)
So,
x = 6 and x = 47
X = 47 not be taken, So x=6
Length of rug = 20 - 6 ft
Width of rug = 33 - 6 ft
Length of rug = 14 ft
Width of rug = 27 ft

E. Use the compass to draw two arcs of the same radius centered at point C
F. Use the straightedge to draw diameter AB of the circle
G. Use the straightedge to draw lines connecting the endpoints of the two diameters
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw an inscribed square of a circle, the circle is first constructed. The diameter of the circle is drawn with a straight edge to find the first two vertices of the intended inscribed square. The perpendicular bisector of the diameter is then drawn intersecting the circumference to provide the other two vertices of the square.
The straightedge is then used to draw lines that connect the endpoints of the two diameters to form the inscribed square of the circle.

An actor gains 20 pounds for a part and then loses 15 pounds during the filming of the movie to go along with the story. How many pounds is the actor above or below his original weight?
Answer:
5 pounds above his original weight
Step-by-step explanation:
An actor gains 20 pounds for a role in a movie
He loses 15 pounds during the movie to blend with the story line of the movie
Since he gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds
20 pounds -15 pounds
= 5 pounds
Hence the actor is 5 pounds above his original weight
