One-third of Olivia's age, increased by 12, is equal to twice her age, decreased by 3. How old is Olivia?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Olivia is 9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of o (Olivia's age) increased by 12, is twice of o minus 3. The equation for this would be 1/3o + 12 = 2o - 3. (The left side could be o/3 as well.)

1/3o + 12 = 2o - 3

Subtract 2o from both sides

-5/3o + 12 = -3

Subtract 12 from both sides

-5/3o = -3 - 12

Subtract 12 from -3 to get -15

-5/3o = -15

Multiply both sides by -3/5, the reciprocal of -5/3

o = -15 (-3/5)

Express -15(-3/5) as a single fraction

o = -15 (-3)/5

Multiply -15 by -3 to get 45

o = 45/5

Divide 45 by 5 to get 9.

o = 9

To make sure this works, substitute 9 for o.

1/3(9) + 12 = 2(9) - 3

3 + 12 = 18 - 3

15 = 15

Both sides match each other, so o equals 9.

Answer 2

Olivia is 9 years old

Let the age of olivia be "x"

One-third of Olivia's age is expressed as 1/3x

If it is increased by 12, the expression becomes 1/3 x  + 12

Twice her age decreased by 3 is expressed as 2x - 3

Equate both expressions and find x

1/3x + 12 = 2x - 3

1/3x - 2x = -3-12

(x-6x)/3 = -15

-5x = -45

x = 9

Hence Olivia is 9 years old

Answer: The correct answer is D) 37%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use our binomial model equation with all the relevant information to solve this problem simply. We just need to dissect the problem a bit to find relevant information. We know that out of 16 batteries in a pack (the number of trials in this case) we want to find the possibility of 1 of them (the number of successes) to be defective with a defective rate of 5% or 0.05. We simply input the data into our binomial formula given and solve for our answer of 37% I hope this answer has been of use.

Answer:

There are 17.4 minutes of commercials are shown each hour.

So we have 0.29*180 = 52.2 minutes, in total, of commercial.

4. -9/0

5. 1

6. -6/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  To find this numbers slope you have to go over and up (or down depending on where the line is going) You go over once and down three times to the next dot. This is why it is negative, because you go down

2. Same as number one you go over (Run) and up (Rise) . You go over 3 times and up 4. This makes it positive, since you are going up.

3.  Stick to this formula (y2-y1)

                                       (x2-x1)

-4-8

0-6     =-12/-6 =2

4. Same as 3

1-8

5-5     = -9/0

5.  Go over 1 and up 1 this will equal 1/1 which is just 1.

Jane can fill

Answers

Answer:

a) 265 case

b) 4 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bottles remaining = total number of bottles - total number of bottles placed in cases

The number of bottles remaining = 8500 - 2136

The number of bottles remaining = 6364 bottles

From the table, we can see that water is filled at 24 bottles per case. Let x be the number of cases, hence:

24 bottles  per case * x case = 6364 bottles

24x = 6364

x = 6364

x = 265.16

Therefore the number of cases filled = 265.

265 cases can contain 6360 bottles

b) number of bottles remaining = 6364 bottles - (24 * 265 case) = 4 bottles

Ideally, by living in an earthship, a person can have a home that is off the grid. People who live in earthships do not depend on outside sources for electricity, food, or water. Building an earthship may be an attractive choice for those who want to use fewer of our planets non-renewable resources.The FoundationFirst, the foundation is built by firmly packing dirt inside recycled tires. Then, the tires are placed in a pyramid-like stack going as high as needed. Next, cement is spread and smoothed between the tires to create a solid wall. When this is finished, the walls are sealed with a protective coating and painted. Some interior walls are built using recycled cans and cement, also sealed with a protective coating.Solar EnergySolar panels give enough stored energy in batteries to provide electricity for appliances, lighting, and electronics. However, solar-powered batteries hold about one-third the charge of energy used in a regular household wired for electricity. This means that people either buy more batteries or intend to use less electricity than a conventional household. Ideally, earthships are built in places where there is an abundance of sunshine year-round.Floor-to-ceiling windows on an earthships south wall also allow plenty of sunlight. It is important that no trees block the light on this side of the house. The sunlight shines directly onto a brick floor, which then absorbs the heat. This provides enough warmth to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house for the rest of the day. This method of heating the home is called passive solar. Most earthships also have either a wood stove or a heater that uses propane, a type of natural gas. These heat sources are useful on cloudy days. During the summer, the combination of the cool temperature of the earth beneath the floor plus the thick walls can keep the house comfortable without the use of air-conditioning.Recycled WaterGutters on the roof collect rainwater that then trickles down into large storage barrels. The water is used for taking showers, doing dishes, and flushing the toilet. It is also filtered for drinking. People sometimes build a greenhouse to grow their own food. Water that has been used for dishwashing or showers can be saved if the soaps are chemical-free. This recycled gray water can be used yet again to water the plants in the greenhouse.Potential ProblemsEarthships have been around since the 1970s. Now, long-term studies have revealed some problems. For one, without sufficient sunlight during the winter, large amounts of natural gas known as propane and/or wood are used to heat the home. Propane use can be costly, and unless one has planned far ahead, a wood supply can be quickly depleted.Another problem is that tires used in the foundation walls can, after a long period of time, begin to crack, releasing a toxic gas that has built up over time in the walls. The use of cement, which is a porous material with many small holes and spaces, allows the gases to leak into the air. The type of gas emitted is not detectable by smell but can make people sick. To address this problem, the walls of the home needs to be resealed every year.Cost can also be a significant challenge. Some earthship building companies claim that it is far cheaper to build an earthship because only recycled materials are used. Also, a contractors license or training is not needed to build one. This, though, is true if it is built 100% by the owner, which could take years to complete. Additionally, the cement, plumbing, and electrical components, as well as the cost of installing solar panels, can be expensive. Just as with the construction of a conventional home, proper permits are often needed to build an earthship.There are clear advantages and disadvantages to these unique homes. As technology improves and new solutions are discovered, earthships may continue to be a wise way to live sustainably using minimal resources.What inference can be made about how building earthships impacts the environment?Question 5 options:It is beneficial because it removes unnecessary trees.It is harmful because it uses old tires.It is wasteful because solar panels are expensive.It helps by using mostly recycled material instead of natural resources. 1.9t-5 simplify using commutative property Pls help lolll Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs?
