Beth is two years older than Julio. Gerald is twice as old as Beth. Debra is twice as old as Gerald. The sum of their ages is 38. how old is Beth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Beth is five years old.

Step-by-step:

Beth + Julio + Gerald + Debra = 38

B + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (2 x Gerald) = 38

Since we know that Gerald is twice as old as Beth and Debra is twice as old as Gerald. That makes Debra four times older than Beth.

Beth + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (4 x Beth) = 38

B +  (B -2) + (2B) + (4B) = 38

Simplfy the like terms.

8B - 2 = 38

Add 2 on both sides.

8B = 38 + 2

8B = 40

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the variable.

8/8 B = 40/8

B = 5

which theorem is correct

Answers

Answer:

The SSS theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

SAS Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that the triangles are similar because of the SAS (side-angle-side) theorem.

This is because you already know that two of the sides are congruent since AB and CD were shown to be congruent in the image, and AC and CA are congruent because they're shared. You know that there are similar angles because of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem*: because of it, you know ∠ACD and ∠CAB are similar because the lines that their transversal intersects are parallel.

*The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that if two lines are parallel, the alternate interior angles formed by a transversal are congruent.

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges a 13 dollar fixed fee plus 9 dollars an

hour for renting a bike. Carlos paid 58 dollars to rent a bike. How many

hours did he pay to have the bike checked out? *

Answers

Answer: 5 hours  

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl paid $58 dollars in total and this included the fixed dollar fee and the variable amount of $9.

To find the number of hours, first deduct the fixed component:

= 58 - 13

= $45

$45 was spent as a result of hourly fee. The number of hours is therefore:

= Total hourly cost/ Cost per hour

= 45 / 9

= 5 hours

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( − 1 , − 3 ) and is perpendicular to the line x − 2 y = 14? pls answer will mark you as brainiest

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First rewrite the second equation into y = mx + b format:

x - 2y = 14  

2y = x - 14

y = x/2 - 14/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

y = 1/2x - 7

A line perpendicular to another has the negative reciprocal slope

So the slope of our first equation is -2. (Flip 1/2 = 2, then take the opposite)

Plug in the points (-1, -3) for the x and y coordinates.

x (x coordinate) = -1

y (y coordinate) = -3

slope (m) = -2

-3 = -1(-2) + b

-3 = 2 + b

-3 - 2 = b

b = -5

The equation of the line is y = -2x - 5. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

y = -2x - 5  or 2x + y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the slope of the given line.  

-2y = -x + 14

y = 1/2(x) -7

m = 1/2

The slope of a line perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of 1/2, which is -2

Now use the point-slope form of a line

y + 3 = -2(x + 1)

y + 3 = -2x - 2

y = -2x - 5  or 2x + y = -5

x less-than 272

Answers

Answer:

1200-928 = 272 for the rest of the month Clarissa has to spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we don't want her to go over her budget so we wouldn't choose a greater than option for her so eliminate the first option and the last option. Now we just have the middle two. We want to keep it under 1200 but theres nothing wrong with spending that exact amount each month so I would pick x less than or equal to 272, since we can still equal the total of less than the total and not go over.

A rectangular sandbox is in the center of a larger rectangular back yard. The sand box
measures (x+6) feet long and 5x feet wide. The yard measures (6x+7) feet long and 8x
feet wide.
What is the area of the yard that is NOT apart of the sandbox?

Answers

Answer:

(43[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 26x) [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the yard that is not pat of the sandbox = Area of the yard - Area of the sandbox

Since both the yard and the sandbox has a rectangular shape, then;

Area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

Area of the yard = length x width

                            = (6x+7) x 8x

                            = (48[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 56x) [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Area of the sandbox = length x width

                                  = (x+6) x 5x

                                  = (5[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 30x) [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Thus,

Area of the yard that is not pat of the sandbox = (48[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 56x) - (5[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 30x)

                                = 48[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 56x - 5[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 30x

                                = (43[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 26x) [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Area of the yard that is not pat of the sandbox is (43[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 26x) [tex]ft^{2}[/tex].

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

THE ANSWER IS 200 , 30, Y=50+0.30X, Y=200+ 0.50X

The solution is, x = 20, is the solution of Y=0.25x +50=0.30x+ 40.

What is equation?

An equation is a  mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.  In its simplest form in algebra, the definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal.

here, we have,

EXPLANATION

The equation given can be express as

y = 0.25x + 50

y = 0.30x + 40

Since, both equations are functions

Equate the two functions together

0.25x + 50 = 0.30x + 40

Collect the like terms

0.25x - 0.30x = 40 - 50

x(0.25 - 0.30) =-10

x(-0.5) = -10

-0.5x = -10

Divide both sides by -0.5

-0.5x / -0.5 = -10/-0.5

x = 10/0.5

x = 20

When collecting the like terms, we isolate values with the same variables from values with a different variables.

If a positive sign crosses an equality sign it automatically becomes a negative sign and if a negative sign crosses an equality operator it automatically becomes a positive sign.

Hence, The solution is, x = 20, is the solution of Y=0.25x +50=0.30x+ 40.
