Jason is 10 years older than Alex. Mark is 11 years younger than Alex. If the total of their ages is 68, how old is the youngest of them?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's just define some variables:

J = Jason

A = Alex

M = Mark

Next, let's put the information given in the question into equations.

Since Jason is 10 years older than Alex we can represent it like this:

J = A + 10

Since Mark is 11 years younger than Alex we can represent it like this:

M = A - 11

All of their ages add up to 68 so we can represent that like this:

J + A + M = 68

We can now do some substitutions to the J and M in this equation, like this:

(A + 10) + A + (A - 11) = 68

Combine like terms:

3A - 1 = 68

Solve for A

3A = 69

A = 23

Now that we found that Alex is 23 we can plug that back in to the first equations to find their ages:

J = 23 + 10

J = 33

M = 23 - 11

M = 12

Mark is the youngest out of the siblings being 12 years old.

Check:

23 + 33 + 12 = 68

68 = 68 :)

I hope this helps!!

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (1, 3) are the solutions to the function g(x), then

g(x) = (x – 1)(x – 3) = x² –3x – x + 3 = x² – 4x + 3

We know that f(x) is on the same plane and f(1) = 1.

Let's take g(1) = (1 – 1)(1 – 3) = 0

Therefore, when x = 1; f = 1 and g = 0. Hence

g(1) = f(1) – 1

In order words, g(x) could be f(x) – 1.

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the new position of the drone relative to the top of the building?

Answers

Answer:

The new position of the drone relative to the top of the building would be:

[tex]-12\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a drone flies up [tex]75\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ft above the top floor of a building.

As it flies away from the building and goes down [tex]117\frac{7}{8}[/tex].

Thus, the new position becomes

[tex]75\frac{3}{4}-117\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{303}{4}-117\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{303}{4}-\frac{943}{8}[/tex]

The LCM of 4,8: 8

Adjusting fractions based on LCM

[tex]=\frac{606}{8}-\frac{943}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{606-943}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{337}{8}[/tex]

Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers

[tex]=-42\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

THEN IT RISES ANOTHER [tex]29\frac{1}{2}\:\:[/tex] and HOVERS onwards:

As the drone rises again another [tex]29\frac{1}{2}\:\:[/tex] ft, the final position can be calculated by adding [tex]29\frac{1}{2}\:\:[/tex] ft in [tex]-42\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ft.

i.e

[tex]-42\frac{1}{8}+29\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{337}{8}+29\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{337}{8}+\frac{59}{2}[/tex]

The LCM of 8, 2: 8

Adjusting fractions based on LCM

[tex]=-\frac{337}{8}+\frac{236}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{-337+236}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{101}{8}[/tex]

Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers

[tex]=-12\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the new position of the drone relative to the top of the building would be:

[tex]-12\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Hence, option (B) is correct.

You and your friend join a new gym that requires a one-time joining fee and monthly payments. Your friend chooses the 1 year plan and pays $687, while you elect the 18 month contract which costs $981. Use this information to determine the linear model used to calculate cost from months of membership.

Answers

Answer:

C = 99 + 49m

x = $99

y = $49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = one time joining fee

y = monthly payment

Your friend:

1 year = 12 months

x + 12y = $687

You:

x + 18y = $981

x + 12y = 687 (1)

x + 18y = 981 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

18y - 12y = 981 - 687

6y = 294

Divide both sides by 6

y = 294 /6

= 49

x = $49

Substitute y = 49 into

x + 12y = 687

x + 12(49) = 687

x + 588 = 687

x = 687 - 588

= 99

x = $99

C = 99 + 49m

Where,

C = total charges

m = number of months

99 = a one time joining fee

49 = charges per month

Max has a drawer full of green and red socks. He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks. Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36. How many of each colour does he have?

Answers

Answer:

There are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are r red socks and g green socks.

ATQ,

He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks.

4g-3r=50 ....(1)

Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36.

[tex]\dfrac{g}{2}+\dfrac{r}{3}=36\\\\3g+2r=216\ .....(2)[/tex]

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

8g-6r = 100 ....(3)

9g +6r = 648 ....(4)

Add equation (3) and (4)

8g-6r + 9g +6r = 100+648

17g = 748

g = 44

Put the value of g in equation (1).

4(44)-3r=50

176-3r = 50

176-50 = 3r

r = 42

Hence, there are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks.

Answers

Answer:

The 15% discount means that they only pay 100%-15% = 85% of the meal's bill.

This would cost 85% * 78.65.

However, they also have to pay a 20% tip of the meal cost.

This would cost 20% * 78.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

total Cost = (85% * 78.65) + (20% * 78.65)

= 105% * 78.65

= 1.05 * 78.65

= $82.58
