Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Age problems are the algebra word problem which deals with the ages of people in the present time.

Given information-

Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda.

Brenda is twice as old as Carly.

The total of their ages is less than 40.

Age problems

Age problems are the algebra word problem which deals with the ages of people in the present time.

Suppose Abigail is A, Brenda is B and Carly is C years old.

As Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda. Thus,

[tex] A=B+5[/tex]                .... 1

As Brenda is twice as old as Carly. Thus,

[tex]C=\dfrac{B}{2} [/tex]                    ..... 2

As the total of their ages is less than 40.

[tex]A+B+C=40[/tex]

Keep the values of A and C from the equation 1 and 2 in the above equation,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\\ B+5+B+\dfrac{B}{2} &=40\\ 2B+\dfrac{B}{2} &=35\\ \dfrac{4B+B}{2}&=35\\ B&=\dfrac{35}{5} \times2\\ B&=14\\ \end[/tex]

Thus the Brenda is 14 year old. As the Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda. Thus the age of the Abigail is,

[tex]A=14+5\\ A=19[/tex]

Thus the Abigail is 19 year old.

Samuel scored a 32.5/40 on his most recent math test what percent did he earn in the test round to the nearest whole percent

Answers

Answer: 81%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Samuel scored a 32.5/40 on his most recent math test.

Based on the values given, to convert it to percentage, we have to multiply the score by 100. This will be:

= 32.5/40 × 100

= 3250/40

= 81.25%

= 81% to nearest whole number

Which point is located at (4, 1)?
A
B
C
D

Answers

Answer:

A is located at (4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number will always be on the x-axis and the second will always be on the y-axis. For example: (x,y) so A is (4,1) , B is (-4,1), C is (1,4) and D is (-1,4).

Hope this helps! ;)

Final Answer: Point A

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Which point is located at [tex](4, 1)[/tex]?

The x-axis would be 4 and the y-axis would be 1. The x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.

For the x-axis, it tells you the markings of the numbers, so moving to the right would be positive and left would be negative.

For [tex](4, 1)[/tex] we would go four to the right and one up. Point A is located there.

Linda had a previous balance of $1,000 and made an on-time credit card payment of $800. She has a credit line of x dollars and made purchases totaling y dollars. Write an algebraic expression that represents her current available credit.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x-200+y[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine the algebraic expression that represents her current available credit by first finding her new balance using the formula:

Previous balance - Payments + Total Purchases = New balance

where, previous balance = $1000; payments = $800; total Purchases = y

New balance = [tex]1000-800+y[/tex]

Next, to find her Credit balance or current available; we use the formula; Credit line - New balance

where credit balance = x; new balance =  [tex]1000-800+y[/tex]

Current available credit = [tex]x-200+y[/tex]

Line A Is Parallel To Line B. If The Measure Of Z7 Is 114”, What Is The Measure Of 3​

Answers

Answer:

114°

Step-by-step explanation:

because they are parallel they have the same measure

The measure of angle 3 is equal to 114° when angle 7 is 114° by the corresponding angle property.

What are correspondence angles?

The angle is defined as the span between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

According to the definition of corresponding angles, when two parallel lines cross the third one, the angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection are referred to as being corresponding angles to one another.

In the image, it is given that angle 7 is 114 degrees. As in the image, the two parallel lines a and b are cut by the transversal line. The given angle 7 is 114°.

From the correspondence angle property, the two angles on the same side of the transversal line will be equal to each other. The angle 3 will be calculated as:-

∠7 = ∠3

114 =  ∠3

Therefore, angle 3 will be 114°.

If gym strong charges a $350 fee and $15 a month and gym fit charges $100 fee and $24 a month, how many months would take for gym string to be a better buy?

Answers

Answer:

It would take 28 months for Gym Strong to be a better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible options for gyms to choose from:

Gym Strong charges $350 plus $15 a month

Gym Fit charges $100 plus $24 a month.

Since Gym Strong charges less per month but has a higher initial fee, there will be some time when it will be a cheaper option than Gym Fit.

Let's solve this by analyzing the differences in fixed fees and monthly fees.

The difference of fixed fees is $350 - $100 = $250

The difference on monthly fees is $24 - $15 = $9

Both gyms will charge the same total fees when have passed 250/9 = 27.7 months. Since the number of months is a whole number, we round up.

It would take 28 months for Gym Strong to be a better buy.

I'm pretty sure it's A because its showing that the line starts from 1 and goes up if that makes sense.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x < 1 means that x is lesser than 1. A shows x is more than 1 so it is wrong. C shows x is more than -1 which is not entirely true since x could be more than -1, but not less than 1. However, the line in C stretches all the way to 8 which is more than 1 so it is wrong.  D shows that x is lesser than -1, but x could have been 0 or -1, so it is not true either.
