Maggie's brother is 7 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 68.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  15 years old

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

Explanation:

m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)

4m = four times her age

4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age

Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.

m+(4m-7) = 68

5m-7 = 68

5m = 68+7

5m = 75

m = 75/5

m = 15

Maggie is currently 15 years old.

Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.

When the swimming pool is 25% full, it takes 2250 cubic meters (m3) to fill it up from that point. When it is full, it can be emptied at a rate of 120 m3/h. How many hours does it take to empty an 80% full pool?

Answers

Answer:

  20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of water when the pool is 80% full can be found using the proportion ...

  2250/75% = v/80%

  v = (80/75)(2250) = 2400 . . . cubic meters

Emptying at the rate of 120 m³/h will take ...

  time = volume/rate

  time = (2400 m³)/(120 m³/h) = 20 h

It will take 20 hours to empty the pool from 80% full.

-34 = -8 + 9(b + 4)
What is the value of the variable?

Answers

Hi, here’s what I did
First switch sides
-8+9(b+4) =-34
Then add 8 to both sides
-8+9(b+4) +8 =-34+8
Then simplify
9(b+4) =-26
Divide both sides by 9
9(b+4) over 9 = -26 over 9
Simplify
B+4 =-26 over 9
Subtract 4 from both sides
B+4-4=-26/9 (over 9) -4
Simplify and get -62/9 (over 9)

Answers

Answer:

120 planters can be filled with topsoil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each planter can hold 1/8th of a bag of topsoil, this means that one bag of topsoil can fill up 8 planters.

15 x 8 = 120, so this means that 120 planters can be filled with topsoil.

Calculate the volume of a regular octahedron whose edges are all 10 cm (do not use the formula to find the volume)​

Answers

Answer:

V≈471.4cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

V =

[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} \times {a}^{3} [/tex]

V= 471.4

Answer:

Solution :

Here we have given that the all edges if octahedron are 10 cm. We need to find the volume of regular octahedron.

[tex] \rule{300}{1.5}[/tex]

As we know that the formula of volume of octahedron is :

[tex]\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} {a}^{3}}}}[/tex]

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the volume of regular octahedron :

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} {a}^{3}}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} \times {(10)}^{3}}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} \times {(10 \times 10 \times 10)}}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} \times {(1000)}}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{2} \times 1000}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = \dfrac{ \sqrt{2} }{3} \times 1000}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{Volume_{(Octahedron)} = 0.471404 \times 1000}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\underline{\red{Volume_{(Octahedron)} \approx 471.404 \: {cm}^{3}}}}}}}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of regular octahedron is 471.404 cm³.

The Gonzales family has three children. On summer break they went to an amusement park they bought 3 child tickets for 18.50 and 2 adult tickets If they spent a total of 104.50 how much was the price of the adult ticket?

I need a complete equation and step by step explanation showing the numbers, not how you did it.

Answers

Answer:

= 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 child ticket = 18.50 and they bought 3 so 18.50 x 3 = 55.5

55.5 + 2 adult tickets = 104.50

104.50 - 55.5 = 2 adult tickets

= 49 for 2 adult tickets

49/2 = 1 adult tickets

= 24.5

You are going to a private apple orchard to pick apples. There is a one-time entry fee that everyone pays, and you also pay a certain amount per pound of apples you pick. It costs $46 to buy 5 pounds of apples, and it costs $58 to buy 7 pounds of apples.

Answers

The one-time entry fee is $6 and the price per pound is $4.

In order to determine the one time entry fee and the cost to pick an apple per pound, two equations would be formed from the question:

x + 5y = 46 equation 1

x + 7y = 58 equation 2

Where:

x = one-time entry fee

y = price per pound

In order to determine the value of y, subtract equation 1 from 2

2y = 12

y = 12 / 2  = 6

In order to determine the value of x, substitute for y in equation 1:

x + 5(6) = 46

x + 30 = 46

x = 40 - 36

x = 4

Trevor is fishing from a small boat. His fishing hook is 8 meters below him, and a fish is swimming at the same depth as the hook, 5 meters away. How far away is Trevor from the fish? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

A ray from Trevor to the fish is the hypotenuse side of a right triangle  with

vertices at Trevor's position, the hook and the fish.

The distance from Trevor to the fish is approximately 9.4 meters.

Reasons:

The distance of the hook below Trevor, y = 8 meters

The horizontal distance of the fish from the hook, x = 5 meters

Required:

The distance of the fish from Trevor

Solution:

A line drawn from Trevor's position to the fish, h, then to the hook, x, and

then to Trevor, y, forms a right triangle with the distance from Trevor to the

fish being the hypotenuse side, h.

Therefore, by Pythagorean theorem, we have;

h² = y² + x²

Which gives;

h² = 8² + 5²

h = √(8² + 5²) = √(89 ≈ 9.4

The distance from Trevor to the fish given to the nearest tenth , d ≈ 9.4 meters

4y-4+128+3y = 180

7y+124 = 180

7y = 56

y = 8

SO ∠x = 3y

∠x = 3(8)

∠x = 24

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the measure of angle X we must first find y

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angle

angle wyz is an exterior angle and the opposite interior angles are w and x

this means that angle wyz = angle w + angle X

if angle wyz = 52 , angle X = 3y and angle w = 4y-4 then 52 = 3y + 4y - 4

note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for y

we now solve for y using the equation we just created

52 = 3y + 4y - 4

combine like terms

52 = 7y - 4

add 4 to both sides

56 = 7y

divide both sides by 7

we're left with y = 8

Now to find the measure of angle X we simply plug in the value of y into 3y because angle X = 3y

angle X = 3y

y = 8

angle X = 3(8)

multiply 3 and 8 to get 24

angle X = 24

and we are done!

The total touchdowns is 80.

Duke Johnson scored 14 of the touchdowns.

Josh McCown scored 40% of the touchdowns. = 40% of 80 = 0.4 * 80 = 32

Let x represent the number of touchdowns scored by Andre Roberts, hence:

x + 14 + 32 = 80

x + 46 = 80

x = 34
