Hao Sheng, his father and his grandfather have an average age of 53. One-half of his grandfather's age, plus one-third of his father's age, plus one-fourth of Hao Sheng's age is 65. If 4 years ago, Hao Sheng's grandfather was four times as old as Hao Sheng, then how old are they now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = 24[/tex] ---- Hao Sheng

[tex]y =51[/tex] --- His father

[tex]z = 84[/tex] ---- His grandfather

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x \to Hao\ Sheng[/tex]

[tex]y \to his\ father[/tex]

[tex]z \to his\ grandfather[/tex]

From the question, we have:

[tex]\frac{x + y + z}{3} = 53[/tex] --- The average of their age

[tex]\frac{z}{2} + \frac{y}{3} +\frac{x}{4}= 65[/tex]

[tex]z - 4 = 4(x - 4)[/tex] --- 4 years ago

Required

Their current age

[tex]z - 4 = 4(x - 4)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]z -4 = 4x-16[/tex]

Make z the subject

[tex]z = 4x-16+4[/tex]

[tex]z = 4x-12[/tex]

Multiply [tex]\frac{z}{2} + \frac{y}{3} +\frac{x}{4}= 65[/tex] by 12

[tex]6z + 4y + 3x = 780[/tex]

Substitute [tex]z = 4x-12[/tex] in [tex]6z + 4y + 3x = 780[/tex]

[tex]6(4x - 12) + 4y + 3x = 780[/tex]

[tex]24x - 72 + 4y + 3x = 780[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]24x + 3x + 4y = 780+ 72[/tex]

[tex]27x + 4y = 852[/tex]

Substitute [tex]z = 4x-12[/tex] in [tex]\frac{x + y + z}{3} = 53[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x + y + 4x - 12}{3} = 53\\[/tex]

Multiply through by 3

[tex]x + y + 4x - 12 = 159[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x + 4x + y = 159+12[/tex]

[tex]5x + y = 171[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 171 - 5x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 171 - 5x[/tex] in [tex]27x + 4y = 852[/tex]

[tex]27x + 4(171 - 5x) = 852[/tex]

[tex]27x + 684 - 20x = 852[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]27x - 20x = 852-684[/tex]

[tex]7x = 168[/tex]

Divide by 7

[tex]x = 24[/tex]

Solve for y in [tex]y = 171 - 5x[/tex]

[tex]y =171 -5*24[/tex]

[tex]y =171 -120[/tex]

[tex]y =51[/tex]

Solve for z in [tex]z = 4x-12[/tex]

[tex]z = 4 * 24- 12[/tex]

[tex]z = 96- 12[/tex]

[tex]z = 84[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

B)10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a right angle(indicated by the red box) the total measure should be 90°.

And based on that we say 5X +40=90

Subtract 40 from both sides to get 5x=50

And then divide both sides by 5 to get x=10

Answer:

x = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

5x° + 40° = 90°

5x° = 90°-40°

5x°=50°

x°= 50°/5

x = 10°

Answer:

D-780 squared inches

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 2(l)(w)+2(l)(h)+2(w)(h)

Answer:

Last option 780.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the surface area for this you will need to get the area of each square that you see is in the net version. Once you do that you add them all together. Here is the math. . .

(4*25)+(4*10)+(4*25)+(10*25)+(10*25)+(4*10) = 780 total surface area.

If this looks confusing just look at the net version of the rectangular prism and you can see there is a duplicate of the different dimension triangles. These areas would be (4*25), (4*10), (10*25). There are a total of 3 different size triangles and all of them have duplicates. So we just multiply everything by 2

(4*25)+ (4*10)+(10*25) = 390 now multiply that by 2 and you get 780 again.

Hope the explanation helps :)

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 25 years, its mass decreases by
half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 910 grams, how long
would it be until the mass of the sample reached 400 grams, to the nearest tenth of a
year?

Answers

Answer:

It will take 25.6 years for the mass of the sample to reach 400 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 25 years, its mass decreases by half.

This means that the amount of the substance after t years can be modeled by a function in the following format:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount.

Initial mass of a sample of Element X is 910 grams.

This means that [tex]A(0) = 910[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 910(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}[/tex]

How long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 400 grams?

This is t for which [tex]A(t) = 400[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = 910(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]400 = 910(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}} = \frac{400}{910}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}} = 0.43956[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.5)^{\frac{t}{25}}} = \log{0.43956}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{t}{25}\log{0.5} = \log{0.43956}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{25\log{0.43956}}{\log{0.5}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 25.6[/tex]

It will take 25.6 years for the mass of the sample to reach 400 grams.

To solve this problem I multiplied $9.50 x 168 to figure out how much it would cost to feed the lambs. Unfortunately my answer, $1596, was incorrect. How would I solve this type of problem?

Answers

Answer: 199.50

===========================================================

Explanation:

That calculation you wrote out would only apply if each lamb ate 1 full bale of alfalfa.

Instead, each lamb eats 1/8 of a bale. So you'll divide the 1596 value by 8 to get 1596/8 = 199.50

This is the same as saying (1/8)*1596 = 0.125*1596 = 199.50

---------------------

Or we can think of it like this

1 day = 1/8 bale of alfalfa

168*(1 day) = 168*(1/8 bale of alfalfa)

168 days = 21 bales of alfalfa

This says that one lamb will eat 21 bales of alfalfa over the course of 168 days

At $9.50 per bale, the total cost for one lamb is 9.50*21 = 199.50 dollars

This cost applies to one lamb only. So if you had say 3 lambs overall, then you'd multiply that by 3.
