Identify the variable(s), set up your equation(s), and solve. Richard has an elder sister who is twice his age and a younger sister who is two years younger than him. If the product of his sisters' ages is 70, how old is Richard?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let Richard's age = x

Elder sister's age = 2x

Youngwr sister's age = x - 2

Product of sisters ages = 70

2x * (x - 2) = 70

2x² - 4x = 70

2x² - 4x - 70 = 0

x² - 2x - 35 = 0

x² - 7x + 5x - 35 = 0

x(x - 7) +5(x - 7) = 0

(x - 7) or (x + 5) = 0

x = 7 or x = - 5

X can't be negative

Hence, x = 7

Richard is 7 years

Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through (-1,6) and (3,-2)

Answers

Answer:

First, we need to use slope formula* to find the slope.

[tex]m = \frac{-2 - 6}{3 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2[/tex]

Second, we use the slope we found and ONE of the 2 points listed and plug it into slope-intercept form** to solve for b.

Here is what we have so far:

[tex]m = -2[/tex]

I'm going to use this point:

[tex]x = 3[/tex][tex]y = -2[/tex]

Here is how to find b:

[tex]-2 = -2(3) + b\\\\-2 = -6 + b\\\\4 = b[/tex]

Finally, we put all of it together and we have our equation.

[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]

*Slope formula: m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

**Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Answers

Answer:

Please check the attached figure!

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Point A is located at the x-coordinate x=-4 and y-coordinate y=1.

Hence, the coordinates of point A = (-4, 1)

Part b)

Point B(3, -2) has been plotted and is shown in the attached figure.

It is clear from the attached diagram that point B is located at the x-coordinate x=3 and y-coordinate y=-2. Hence, the coordinates of point B = (3, -2)

Part C)

Point C has the same x-coordinate as point A i.e. x=-4 and the same y-coordinate as point B i.e. y=-2.

Hence, the coordinates of point C = (-4, -2). Point C is also plotted as shown in the diagram.

Jan walks each morning for exercise. She takes a drink of water as she completes every 3/4 of a mile. She walks a total of 4 1/2 miles. How many times does she take a drink?

Answers

Answer:

Jan takes a drink 6 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

Jan takes a drink of water as she completes every 3/4 of a mile. She walks a total of 9/2 miles.

Compute the number of times Jan takes a drink as follows:

[tex]\text{Number of times Jan takes a drink}=\frac{\text{Number of miles walked}}{\text{Interval for a drink}}[/tex]

                                                       [tex]=\frac{9/2}{3/4}\\\\=6[/tex]

Thus, Jan takes a drink 6 times.

Lin's father spent $20 on ice cream for the family. He had to pay a 7% sales tax. What was the total cost of the ice cream? $

*Hint: be sure to include 2 decimal places to show the cents*

Answers

Answer:

6%→0.06

Now, we need to multiply the pre-tax cost of this item by this value in order to calculate the sales tax cost.

\textup{Sales tax}=0.06\times\$2.35

\textup{Sales tax}=\$0.141

Round to two decimal places since our total is in dollars and cents.

\textup{Sales tax}=\$0.14

Last, add this value to the pre-tax value of the item to find the total cost.

\textup{Total cost}=\textup{Pre-tax value}+\textup{Sales tax}

\textup{Total cost}=\$2.35+\$0.14

\textup{Total cost}=\$2.49

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB:

d = sqrt ( (−5−2)^2 + (−2−(−8))^2)

d = sqrt( (−7)^2 + (6)^2  )

d = sqrt(49+36)

d = sqrt(85)

d = 9.219544

BC:

d = sqrt ( (−7−(-5))^2+(3−(−2))^2 )

d = sqrt( (−2)^2 + (5)^2  )

d = sqrt(4+25)

d = sqrt(29)

d = 5.385165

AC:

d = sqrt ( (−7−(2))^2+(3−(−8))^2 )

d = sqrt( (−9)^2 + (11)^2  )

d = sqrt(81+121)

d = sqrt(202)

d = 14.21267

DE:

d = sqrt ( (−11−(-9))^2+(12−7)^2 )

d = sqrt( (−2)^2 + (5)^2  )

d = sqrt(4+25)

d = sqrt(29)

d = 5.385165

EF:

d = sqrt ( (−2−(-11))^2+(1−12)^2 )

d = sqrt( (9)^2 + (-11)^2  )

d = sqrt(81+121)

d = sqrt(202)

d =14.21267

DF:

d = sqrt ( (−2−(-9))^2+(1−7)^2 )

d = sqrt( (7)^2 + (-6)^2  )

d = sqrt(49+36)

d = sqrt(85)

d = 9.219544
