The Wilsons have triplets and another child who is eleven years old. The sum of the ages of their children is 38. How old are the triplets?


The equation is __n + __ = __
. The triplets are _______ years old.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 2 and r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2

then

a₂₈ = 2 [tex](2)^{27}[/tex]

a₂₆ = 2 [tex](2)^{25}[/tex]

using the rule of exponents

[tex]\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }[/tex] = [tex]a^{(m-n)}[/tex] , then

[tex]\frac{a_{28} }{a_{26} }[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2(2)^{27} }{2(2)^{25} }[/tex] ( cancel 2 on numerator/ denominator )

= [tex]\frac{2^{27} }{2^{25} }[/tex]

= [tex]2^{(27-25)}[/tex]

= 2²

= 4

Hence, the equation is of the form [tex]2.5x+3.5y=52.50[/tex].

What is the system of equation?

A system of equations, also known as a set of simultaneous or an equation system, is a finite set of equations for which we sought the common solutions.

Here given that,

Nolan is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $[tex]2.50[/tex] and each ride costs $[tex]3.50[/tex]. Nolan spent $[tex]52.50[/tex] altogether on [tex]17[/tex] games and rides.

So, let us assume that the number of games are [tex]x[/tex] and the number of rides are [tex]y[/tex].

So, the equation is of the form

[tex]2.5x+3.5y=52.50 ........(1)[/tex]

And Noaln spent altogether $[tex]52.50[/tex] on [tex]17[/tex] games and rides.

So,

[tex]x+y=17[/tex]

Then,

[tex]2.5x+2.5y=2.5(x+y)\\As,\\x+y=17\\So,\\=2.5(17)\\\\=42.5.....(2)[/tex]

Now, subtract equation [tex](2)[/tex] from equation [tex](1)[/tex], we get

[tex]x=52.5-42.5\\\\x=10[/tex]

[tex]y=17-10\\y=7[/tex]

So the equation is of the form

[tex]2.5(7)+3.5(10)=52.50\\17.5+35=52.50\\52.50=52.50[/tex]

Hence, the equation is of the form [tex]2.5x+3.5y=52.50[/tex].

Answer: 21

the hcf of 315 and 42 is 21.

Answer:

HCF of 315 and 42:

Your answer is 21 !

Let's call the smaller number "x" and the larger number "y." Since 7 is added to the larger number, y + 7 = 4x. Since 28 is added to the smaller number, x + 28 = 2y.

We can solve this system of equations by substituting the first equation into the second equation to eliminate one of the variables:

x + 28 = 2(y + 7)

x + 28 = 2y + 14

x - 2y = -14

Then, we can substitute the second equation into the first equation to eliminate the other variable:

y + 7 = 4(x + 28)

y + 7 = 4x + 112

y - 4x = -105

Now we have a system of two equations in two variables, which we can solve using methods such as substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution:

x - 2y = -14

y - 4x = -105

If we solve the second equation for y, we get y = 4x - 105. Substituting this expression into the first equation gives:

x - 2(4x - 105) = -14

x - 8x + 210 = -14

-7x = -224

x = 32

Substituting this value back into the expression for y gives us y = 4(32) - 105 = 107.

Therefore, the two numbers are x = 32 and y = 107. If 7 is added to the larger number, the value obtained is 107 + 7 = 114, which is four times the smaller number (32). If 28 is added to the smaller number, the value obtained is 32 + 28 = 60, which is twice the larger number (107).

Answer:

Answer = 8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find how long one machine takes to finish

    1. 6 ∙ 4 = 24 days

Step 2: Divide 24 by 3 to get the rate of speed of 3 machines

    2. 24 / 3 = 8 days

When working with rational functions, your main concern to not divide by 0.  Dividing by 0 can't be done.

So, you need to look at the denominator of your fraction and figure out what values of g will make that denominator become 0.

Option #1 is to plug in each option from your list to see which ones make the denominator equal 0.  If that g-value makes the denominator equal zero, then it has be excluded.

Option #2 is to set the denominator equal to 0 and solve that equation:
    g^3 - 4g^2 - 12g = 0

To solve this, you could do it by factoring.

    g^3 - 4g^2 - 12g = 0     

     g ( g^2 - 4g -12) = 0

   g ( g - 6 ) ( g + 2) = 0

This splits into:
   g = 0, g = 6, g = -2

So those are the three values of g that you cannot use.

g ≠ 0; g ≠ 6, g ≠ –2

Define System of Equation

A set of simultaneous equations, also known as a system of equations or an equation system, is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought.

Given,

Total money Anthony and Joan have to buy apples and oranges = $10

Total pieces of fruit the Anthony and Joan buy is = 25 pieces of fruit

Each Apple's cost = 50 cents

Each orange's cost = 25 cents

Let, x = be the apples

and, y = be the oranges

The equation applied for the number of pieces of fruit they will buy,

x + y = 25

The value of the correlation coefficient is 0.9866.

By the end of 2014, the number of movie tickets sold would be equal to 1,600,000,000 movie tickets.

In order to determine value of the correlation coefficient and line of best fit that models the data points contained in the table, we would use a graphing calculator (scatterplot).

In this scenario, the year would be plotted on the x-axis of the scatterplot while the number of tickets sold (in millions) would be plotted on the y-axis of the scatterplot.

On the Excel worksheet, you should right click on any data point on the scatterplot, select format trend line, and then tick the box to display an equation and correlation coefficient for the trend line (line of best fit) on the scatterplot.

From the scatterplot (see attachment) which models the relationship between the data points in the table, a linear equation for the line of best fit (trend line) is given by:

y = 20.012x - 38704

Correlation coefficient, R² = 0.9757.

By the end of 2014, the number of movie tickets sold is given by:

y = 20.012x - 38704

y = 20.012(2014) - 38704

y = 40,304.168 - 38704

y = 1,600.168 × 1,000,000 ≈ 1,600,000,000 movie tickets.

Using the laws of cosines we know that to get the ball back to the pitcher, the outfielder must throw it 125 feet.

The square of a side of a plane triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other sides minus twice the product of those sides and the cosine of the angle between them, according to a trigonometry rule.

So, it is a given that the distance between the home plate and the pitcher's mound on a softball field is 43 feet.

27° east of the pitcher's mound is the angle at which a ball is struck.

Before an outfielder catches the ball, it travels 162 feet.

Using the law of cosines, we may now:

a² = b² + c² - 2bcosA

When b=43, c=162, and A=27° are entered, we get:

a² = 43² + 162² - 2(43)(162)cos27°

a² = 1849 + 26244 - 12413.4

a² = 15679.6

a = 125.21

a = 125ft

What is the system of linear equations?

A system of linear equations is a collection of two or more linear equations, and a solution to a system of linear equations consists of values of each of the unknown variables in the system that satisfies all of its equations or makes them true.

Let L be the number of lions, T be the number of tigers, and B be the number of bears. We can set up the following system of equations to represent the given information:

L + T + B = 40

L = T + 4

B = T - 3

We can solve this system of equations using substitution. Starting with the second equation, we can solve for T:

T = L - 4

Substituting this expression for T into the third equation, we get:

B = L - 4 - 3

B = L - 7

Substituting this expression for B into the first equation, we get:

L + L - 4 + L - 7 = 40

3L - 11 = 40

3L = 51

L = 17

Now that we know the number of lions, we can substitute this value back into the equation T = L - 4 to find the number of tigers:

T = 17 - 4

T = 13

Finally, we can substitute these values for L and T into the equation B = L - 7 to find the number of bears:

B = 17 - 7

B = 10

Hence, Ms. Caraballo saw 17 lions, 13 tigers, and 10 bears at the zoo.
