Dad's age is equal to the sum of Laura's, Jeri's and Theresa's ages. If Jeri is 4 years older
than Theresa and 3 years younger than Laura, and Dad's age is 38, how old is each
daughter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jeri is 13, and thus Theresa is 9 and Laura is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by declaring variables

D - dad's age

L - laura's age

J - jeri's age

T - theresa's age

The first statement tells us that D = L + J + T

Jeri being 4 years older than Theresa gives us

J = T + 4

Jeri being 3 years younger than Laura gives us

 

J = L - 3

So notice that the common variable in these two equations is J. So if we can represent every girls age in terms of Jeri's, we will be down to one variable. So

T = J - 4

L = J + 3

Now, we can rewrite the original equation using only J's

38 = (J + 3) + J + (J - 4)

38 = 3J - 1

39 = 3J

13 = J

So Jeri is 13, and thus Theresa is 9 and Laura is 16.

Define a variable:
Write an Equation or Inequality:

Answers

Answer:

5 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the problem to get an equation:

65+15x=50+20x

subtract 50 from each side to get:

15+15x=20x

subtract 15x from each side to get:

15=5x

divide each side by 5 to get your answer:

x=5

5x+4=5x+4 is it one solution, no solution, or infinite solutions?

Answers

Answer: infinite solutions

Simplifying
5x + 4 = 5x + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 5x = 5x + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 5x = 4 + 5x

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5x = 4 + -4 + 5x

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5x = 4 + -4 + 5x
5x = 4 + -4 + 5x

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
5x = 0 + 5x
5x = 5x

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
5x + -5x = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 0

Solving
0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

Infinite solutions

Try to solve this equation:

5x+4=5x+4

Move all the variables to the left:

5x-5x+4=4

Do you see what I see?

4=4

We end up with a true statement. 4 does indeed equal 4. Hope this helps!

over the last 4 years michael has earned $240 interest on an initial investment of $2,000. what simple annual interest rate is the bank paying on this account

Answers

Answer:

.03 or 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Important:

I = interest

P = principal (investment)

R = simple interest rate

T = years

Formula: I = PRT

Given:

I = $240

P = 2000

T = 4 years

R = ?

Plug into formula:

240 = 2000(R)4

Multiply right side 2000*4

240 = 8000R

Divide both sides by 8000.

R = 240/8000

R = .03

The simple annual interest rate was .03 or 3%.

Therefore it .03 or 3%

The profit function p(x) of a tour operator is modeled by p(x) = −2x2 + 900x − 40000, where x is the average number of tours he arranges per day. What is the range of the average number of tours he must arrange per day to earn a monthly profit of at least $60,000?
between 200 and 250; exclusive
between 200 and 250; inclusive
less than 250
more than 200

Answers

Solving the quadratic function, it is found that the range is of:

between 200 and 250; inclusive

The profit for x tours is modeled by the following equation:

[tex]p(x) = -2x^2 + 900x - 40000[/tex]

It is concave down, so the monthly profit will be of at least $60,000 between the two roots when [tex]p(x) = 60000[/tex]. Thus:

[tex]60000 = -2x^2 + 900x - 40000[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 - 900x + 10000 = 0[/tex]

Simplifying by 2:

[tex]x^2 - 450x + 50000 = 0[/tex]

Which has [tex]a = 1, b = -450, c = 50000[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\Delta = (-450)^2 - 4(1)(50000) = 2500[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-(-450) + \sqrt{2500}}{2} = 250[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-(-450) - \sqrt{2500}}{2} = 200[/tex]  

At least $60,000 includes $60,000, thus the interval is inclusive, and the correct option is:

between 200 and 250; inclusive

(5x2-13x - 28) + (x – 4)

Answers

The answer is:
Factor the expression

(5x² - 13x -28)/(x-4) = (x-4)(5x+7) so x = -7/5  and x = 4 are the two factors of the given polynomial.

What is a factor of a polynomial ?

The factors of a polynomial are those values of x for which the given polynomial satisfies.

According to the given question we have to divide a polynomial            (5x² - 13x -28) by (x - 4).

(5x² - 13x -28)/(x-4) = (x-4)(5x) + (7x - 28).

(5x² - 13x -28)/(x-4) = (x-4)(5x+7).

So, the obtained factor is (5x+7) = 0.

∴ 5x + 7 = 0

5x = -7

x = -7/5 is a factor of the given polynomial and by substituting these value in x.

(5x² - 13x -28)

5(-7/5)² - 13(-7/5) - 28 = 0

5(49/25) + 91/5 - 28 = 0

49/5 + 91/5 - 28 = 0

140/5 - 28 = 0.

28 - 28 = 0

0 = 0     ( hence satisfied that -7/5 is a factor of the given polynomial ).
