There sisters have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The sum of the age of the youngest and three
times the age of the oldest is five less than five times the middle sister's age.

(a) If x represents the age of the youngest child, then write an equation that models this scenario.

(b) Determine the ages of the three sisters.

Answers

Answer 1

If x represents the age of the youngest child, then the equation that models this scenario is x+3(x+4) = 5(x+2)-5 and the ages of the three sisters are 7, 9 and 11 years respectively.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

There sisters have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The sum of the age of the youngest and three times the age of the oldest is five less than five times the middle sister's age.

Age of youngest sister = x years

Middle sister = (x+2) years

Oldest sister = (x+4) years

Now, the equation according to the given situation is:

(a) x+3(x+4) = 5(x+2)-5

(b) Now, we can solve this equation:

x+3x+12 = 5x+10-5

4x+12 = 5x+5

12-5 = 5x-4x

x = 7

Middle sister = 7+2 = 9 years

Oldest sister = 7+4 = 11 years

Hence, the equation is x+3(x+4) = 5(x+2)-5 and their ages from the youngest to the oldest are 7, 9 and 11 years respectively.

The net force  acting on the object is 12.44 N.

In this problem, we are dealing with the magnitude of a vector, where A vector is an object that has both a magnitude and a direction. Geometrically, able to picture a vector as a directed line segment, whose length is the magnitude of the vector, and with an arrow showing the direction. A vector's magnitude  is the length of the vector. The magnitude of the vector a is signified as ∥a∥. Since we are provided with magnitudes of the three forces acting on the object which are (-8,5), (0,1), and (4, -7) So  we can represent them in terms of vectors which are :

F₁= -8i+5j

F₂= j

F₃ = 4i-7j

The magnitude of a vector is basically to add the individual horizontal and vertical components to get the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant force, then sum up the square of the  vertical components and horizontal of the resultant force and take the square root of the result.

Chris and Beth Micelli made a $235,000 offer for the purchase of a new home, which was accepted. They made a 30% down payment and financed the rest. Using the closing cost table below, find the mortgage total if they include the closing costs in the mortgage amount.

Answers

The amount of mortgage will be the remaining amount after they made a downpayment.

Since the downpayment is 30%, the mortgage will be 70% of the purchased amount

So mortage will be :

mortgage = 0.70 x $235,000 = $164,500

From the closing cost table :

There are charges related to the mortgage (Points, Document stamp and Processing fee)

Adding these charges will be :

=2% + 0.30% + 1.10% = 3.4% of the mortgage

So this will give us :

= 0.034 x $164,500 = $5,593

Now to find the total mortgage, add the values in the closing cost table including the mortgage itself.

Total mortgage = 164500 + 5,593 + 252 + 65 + 325 + 212 + 410 + 350 + 450

Answer :

Total mortgage = $172,157

8. Rectangle R's perimeter remains 180 feet when
the length is halved and the width is doubled.
What are the dimensions of rectangle R?
(Hint: Perimeter = 2(l+w)
rectangle

Answers

The perimeter of 180, the length and width of the rectangle with maximum area are 45 and 45.

What is the maximum-area rectangle?The difference in length and breadth of any rectangle must be minimal for the area to be maximum. As a result, the length must be ceil (perimeter / 4) and the breadth must be floor (perimeter /4). As a result, the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter is ceil(perimeter/4) * floor(perimeter/4). As a result, the area is greatest when the rectangle is square.

Let x= the length and y= the width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle A=x y

2 x+2 y=180 because the perimeter is 180.

Solve for y

[tex]$&2 y=180-2 x \\[/tex]

[tex]$&y=90-x[/tex]

Substitute for y in the area equation.

[tex]$&A=x(90-x) \\[/tex]

[tex]$&A=90 x-x^2[/tex]

This equation describes a parabola that extends down. The maximum value of the area is at the vertex.

Rewriting the area equation in the form [tex]$a x^2+b x+c$[/tex]

[tex]$A=-x^2+90 x \quad a=-1, b=90, c=0$[/tex]

The formula for the x coordinate of the vertex is

[tex]$x=\frac{-b}{2 a}=\frac{-90}{2 \cdot-1}=45[/tex]

The maximum area exists found at x=45

[tex]y=\frac{1}{5}x^2+\frac{9}{5}x+4[/tex] or y = 1/5x^2+9/5x+4 (they are the same just different formats)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we are given the intercepts of the parabola (aka another name for a quadratic function). Since the intercepts are given, it makes the most sense to use intercept form.
The basic formula for intercept form is:
y=a(x-b)(x-c) where a, b, and c are all constants
b and c are the x intercept values.
plug in the values:
y=a(x-(-4))(x-(-5))=a(x+4)(x+5)

y=a(x+4)(x+5)   let's call this equation 1

unfortunately, there is still an "a" at the beginning, but that's where the y intercept is used.
Since (0,4) is a solution to the equation: y=a(x+4)(x+5), the values can be plugged into this equation to solve for a.
In this case, x = 0 and y = 4, so plug in those values

4=a(0+4)(0+5) = a(4)(5) = 20a
a = 1/5
Now, plug "a" back into equation 1
y=1/5(x+4)(x+5) this is the intercept form. However, the question ask for standard form, so it must be expanded

FOIL the parentheses (expand it) to get:
y=1/5(x^2+9x+20) = [tex]\frac{1}{5}x^2+\frac{9}{5}x+4[/tex]

40% of the airplanes were hydroplanes. If 660 were hydroplanes, how many were not hydropons?

Answers

40% of the airplanes were hydroplanes.

If 660 were hydroplanes, how many were not hydroplanes?​

SOLUTION

If 40% of the airplanes were hydroplanes.

Let x represents the total number of Hydroplanes.

So that 40 % of X = 660

40/ 100 x X = 660

2 / 5 x X = 660

2X / 5 = 660

cross- multiply, we have:

2X = 660 X 5

2 X = 3300

Divide oth sides by 2 , we have :

X = 3300 / 2

X = 1650

Total number of Hydrophones = 1650

Those that are Hydrophones = 660

Those that are not Hydrophones = 1650 - 660

One chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet) is the traditional definition, which is exactly equal to 10 square chains, 1/640 of a square mile, 4,840 square yards (43,560 square feet), and 4,047 (or around 40% of a hectare). An acre may be stated to be exactly 4,046.8564224 square metres based on the international yard and pound agreement of 1959.

Out of  25 acres of land 6 2/3 acres can not be developed into lots.

Therefore land that is left = 25 - 6 2/3 acres

Answers

Option Negative 4 over fifteen times x plus four is equivalent to expression one third times the quantity 2 times x plus 12 end quantity minus 14 over 15 times x.

Firstly writing the mentioned expression in mathematical form -

Expression = 1/3(2x + 12) - 14x/15

Simplifying the expression by performing multiplication

Expression = 2x/3 + 12/3 - 14x/15

Taking LCM of these three denominator, we get 15

Expression = 2x×5 + 12×5 - 14x/15

Performing multiplication in numerator of the Right Hand Side of the expression

Expression = 10x + 60 - 14x/15

Performing subtraction

Expression = - 4x + 60/15

Rewriting the expression

Expression = - 4x/15 + 60/15

Performing division on extreme Right Hand Side of the expression

Expression = - 4x/15 + 4

Solomon is single, hence he only has the personal allowance of $40,000, and his net income will be of:

Solomon's net income = 0.75 x 160,000 + 40,000 = $160,000. (75% because 25% of the amount not claimed in allowances is paid in taxes).

Tom's allowances are given as follows:

Personal: $40,000.Spousal: $10,000, as he is married.Dependent: 2 x $8,000 = $16,000, one for each kid.

Hence his total allowances are of:

$40,000 + $10,000 + $16,000 = $66,000.

His net income will be of:

Tom's new income = 0.75 x 114,000 + 66,000 = $151,500.

One number is 16 more than two times another. Their sum is 58. Find the numbers.

Answers

The larger number is 44 and the smaller number is 14.

What are the numbers?

The first step is to develop a system of equations using the information provided in the question.

y = 2x + 16 equation 1

x + y = 58 equation 2

Where:

y = larger number

x = smaller number

The next step is to substitute for y in equation 2 using equation 1.

x + 2x + 16 = 58

Combine similar terms:

x + 2x = 58 - 16

Add similar terms together:

3x = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 42 / 3

x = 14

Substitute for x in equation 2:

14 + y = 58

y = 58 - 14

y = 44
