James's Dog, Buddy, is 2 years older than Fluffy, the neighbor's cat. Three Years ago, Buddy was three times older than fluffy. How old are the dog and cat now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The cat is 4 years old, and the dog is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Buddy is 2 years old than Fluffy.

And 3 years ago, Buddy was 3 times older than Fluffy.

Let's define the variables:

B = age of Buddy

F = age of Fluffy.

The first statement can be written as:

B = F + 2

The second statement can be written as:

B - 3 = 3*(F - 3)

To solve this, we can replace the first equation into the second one, and solve that for F

B - 3 = 3*(F - 3)

(F + 2) - 3 = 3*F - 9

F - 1 = 3*F - 9

-1 + 9 = 3*F - F

8 = 2*F

8/2 = 4 = F

Fluffy is 4 years old, and with the first equation we can find the age of Buddy.

B = F + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

Buddy is 6 years old

Answer 2

The required age of the dog buddy is 6 years old and the age of cat fluffy is 4 years old.

Given ,

James's dog buddy is 2 years older than Fluffy,

And the neighbor's cat Three Years ago, Buddy was three times older than fluffy.

Let ,

The age of buddy = B

The age of fluffy is = F

According to the question ,

Buddy, is 2 years older than Fluffy= Age of Buddy = Age of fluffy + 2 years older.

B = F +2

Again According to the question,

Three years ago age of Buddy = B - 3

Three years ago age of Fluffy = F - 3

Three years ago Buddy was three times older than fluffy = Three years ago age of Buddy = 3 × Three years ago Age of fluffy

B - 3 = 3 ( F - 3 )

Solving the equations,

B - 3 = 3 ( F - 3 )

Put the value of B from equation 1

F + 2 - 3 = 3 ( F -3 )

F - 1 = 3F - 9

F - 3F = - 9 +1

-2F = -8

2F = 8

[tex]F = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]

F = 4

The age of fluffy is 4 years old.

Then ,

The age of buddy

B = F + 2

B = 4 + 2

B = 6

The age of buddy is 6 years old.

The required age of the dog buddy is 6 years old and the age of cat fluffy is 4 years old.

So the distance of a aircraft flies a proportional relationship whith its number of hours inflight. The table shows the number of miles flown for a number of hours in flight. Find the constant of proportionality. How long will the jet take to travel 5,880.

Answers

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 490

The jet will take 12 hours to travel 5,880 miles

Step-by-step explanation: The miles multiply by 490 each time.

490 x 12 is 5,880

The constant of proportionality is k = 490 and the equation is y = 490x where x is the number of hours and y is the total number of miles

The time required is 12 hours

What is Proportion?

The proportion formula is used to depict if two ratios or fractions are equal. The proportion formula can be given as a: b::c : d = a/b = c/d where a and d are the extreme terms and b and c are the mean terms.

The proportional equation is given as y ∝ x

And , y = kx where k is the proportionality constant

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Let the distance of the aircraft be = x

Let the total time taken by the aircraft be = y

Let the constant of proportionality be k

when x = 1 ,

y = 490

So , the equation will be y = kx

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

y = 490x

when x = 2

y = 490 ( 2 )

y = 980

Now , the time taken by aircraft to travel 5,880 miles is

Substitute the value of y as 5880 in the equation , we get

5880 = 490x

Divide by 490 on both sides of the equation , we get

x = 5880 / 490

x = 12

Therefore , the time taken is 12 hours

Hence , the constant of proportionality is 490

Find the equation of the line through point (4,−7) and parallel to y=−23x+32.

Answers

Answer:

y = -23x + 85

Step-by-step explanation:

for an equation to be parallel to another, they must have the same slope. So plugging in (4, -7) we get -7 = -23(4) + P. P being the new y intercept we must find. Now simple algebra add -23(4) = -92 to both sides and we get 85 = P. Plug in to y = mx + b and we get

y = -23x + 85

Which pair of complex numbers has a real-number product?

* (1 + 3) (1-3)
* (1 + 3) (31)

Answers

Answer:

(1 + 3i)(1 - 3i)

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of a complex number and its conjugate produce a real number.

given a ± bi the conjugate is a ∓ bi ← where a and b are real, then

(a + bi)(a - bi)

= a² - b² ← a real number

The only pair of conjugate complex numbers in the list is

(1 + 3i)(1 - 3i)

The pair of complex numbers that has a real-number product is:

(1 + 3) (1-3) = -8

Option C is the correct answer.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

For a pair of complex numbers to have a real-number product, their imaginary parts must cancel out when the product is expanded.

Let's expand each pair of complex numbers and see which one has a

real-number product:

(1 + 3) x (61) = 61 + 183i

This product has a non-zero imaginary part, so it is not a real number.

(1 + 3) x (2-3) = -5 + 5i

This product has a non-zero imaginary part, so it is not a real number.

(1 + 3) x (1-3) = -8

This product has no imaginary part, so it is a real number.

(1 + 3) x (31) = 124 + 124i

This product has a non-zero imaginary part, so it is not a real number.
