Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than three times her
age. The sum of their ages IS 43.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maggie's age = x

The brother's age = 3x - 5

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43              Add 5 to both sides

4x - 5 + 5 = 43+5

4x = 48                  Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Maggie = 12

Brother = 3*12 - 5

Brother = 36 - 5

Brother = 31

Some information about a direct variation is given in the table below. If the equation
of this direct variation is y = kx , find the coefficient k and fill in the missing
information.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx ;

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] ; x = [tex]\frac{y}{k}[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

k = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × ( - 8 ) = - 4

[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × ( - 4 ) = - 2

[tex]y_{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 2 = 1

[tex]x_{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x_{6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x_{7}[/tex] = 0

( x , y ) : ( - 8 , - 4 ), ( - 4 , - 2 ), ( 2 , 1 ), ( 1 , [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ), ( [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ), ( - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ), ( 0 , 0 )

Answers

Answer:

The second one: r x-axis. R 90(x,y)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that from ABC to A'B'C', it's rotated a positive 90 degrees. then, from A'B'C' to A"B"C", reflected across x-axis. and when writing the transformation, it goes by last to first. that's why the R 90 comes first.

The rule which describes the composition of transformations that maps ΔABC to ΔA"B"C" is,

⇒ r _ x-axis. R _ 90(x, y)

What is Translation?

A transformation that occurs when a figure is moved from one location to another location without changing its size or shape is called translation.

Given that;

To find the rule which describes the composition of transformations that maps ΔABC to ΔA"B"C".

Now, You can see that from ABC to A'B'C',

it's rotated a positive 90 degrees.

And, Then, from A'B'C' to A"B"C", reflected across x-axis.

Now, when writing the transformation, it goes by last to first. that's why the R 90 comes first.

Thus, The rule which describes the composition of transformations that maps ΔABC to ΔA"B"C" is,

⇒ r _ x-axis. R _ 90(x, y)

The formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is: 'C = (5/9) ('F -32). The formula to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit is: 'F = 1.8 ('C) + 32. Using any of these formulas, determine, for what temperature the value of it in degrees Celsius is represented by the same number as its value in degrees Fahrenheit. Show your work. HINT: use either of those two equations, use x for 'C and use x for 'F, and solve it for x. The solution will be the answer to the problem (because the temperature is the same, and its numerical value in degrees Celsius in this case is the same as its number value in degrees Fahrenheit). *

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

5/9 × (x - 32) = 1.8 × x + 32 = 9/5 × x + 32

5×(x - 32) = 9×9/5 × x + 32×9

5×5×(x - 32) = 9×9×x + 32×9×5

25x - 32×25 = 81x + 32×45

32×(-25 - 45) = 56x

4×(-70) = 7x

x = 4×(-10) = -40

-40° is the same temperature in Celsius and in Fahrenheit.

The system of linear inequalities represented by the graph is 2 < x < 3.

What are inequalities and their types?

Inequality is a relation that compares two numbers or other mathematical expressions in an unequal way.

The symbol a < b indicates that a is smaller than b.

When a > b is used, it indicates that a is bigger than b.

a is less than or equal to b when a notation like a ≤ b.

a is bigger or equal value of an is indicated by the notation a ≥ b.

The dotted lines represents strictly less than or greater than inequalities.

Inequality 1 represents x > 2 and inequality 2 represents x < 3.

Find the 62nd term of the arithmetic sequence

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_{62}=-107[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where d is the common difference and n is the index of any given term.

The common difference of the given sequence is -2:

[tex]13-15=-2\\11-13=-2[/tex]

Using the first term and the common difference, you can write the equation for this sequence:

[tex]a_n=15+(n-1)(-2)[/tex]

And using that equation, you can find the 62nd term:

[tex]a_{62}=15+(62-1)(-2)\\a_{62}=15+(61)(-2)\\a_{62}=15-122\\a_{62}=-107[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

let's ignore the question, if the statue can cast an isolated shadow based on its location ...

2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.

that means all angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.

so,
