A boy is twice as tall as his little sister and he is 30 cm shorter than his father. The
combined height of these three family members is 3.8m.Write an appropriate
equation, using h' as the sister's height and use this to find the boy's height in cm.​

Answers

Answer 1

Boy = x

His Sister = y

Father = z

x = 2*y  

y = x/2

x = z-30 or z = x+30

3.8 m = 380 cm

x+y+z = 380

x + x/2 + x+30 = 380

multiply by 2

2x +x + 2x +60 = 760

5x = 700

x = 140 cm

y = x/2

 = 140 /2 = 70 cm

z = x+30

 = 140 + 30 = 170 cm

There  

x (Boy)             = 140 cm

y (His Sister)  = 70 cm

z (Father)        = 170 cm

Answer 2

Using an appropriate equation, the boy's height is 140  cm.​

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Let Boy = x and His Sister = y

Father = z

So, x = 2*y  

y = x/2

x = z-30 or z = x+30

Now, substitute

3.8 m = 380 cm

Equation form;

x+y+z = 380

x + x/2 + x+30 = 380

then multiply by 2

2x +x + 2x +60 = 760

5x = 700

x = 140 cm

Thus,

y = x/2 = 140 /2 = 70 cm

z = x+30 = 140 + 30 = 170 cm

There  are x (Boy) = 140 cm

y (His Sister)  = 70 cm

z (Father)   = 170 cm

Hence, Using an appropriate equation, the boy's height is 140  cm.​

Pang drove to his mother's house to drop off her new TV.
He drove at 50 miles per hour there and back, and spent 10 minutes dropping off the TV
The entire journey took him 94 minutes. How far away does his mother live?

Answers

Answer:

70 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting ten minutes from the elapsed time 94 minutes tells us that the travel (at constant average speed) took 84 minutes.  We convert 84 minutes to 84/60 hour.

 

distance = rate•time = 50 mi/hr (84/60 hour) = 50(1.4) = 70 miles

How many liters of a 35% salt solution must be mixed with 20 liters of 70% salt solution to obtain a solution that is 45% salt? What is the equation?

Answers

Answer:

.35 x + .70 (20) = .45(x+20)

50=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = liters of 35% salt solution

We have 20 liters of 70%

We have a total of 20+x liters of 45%

.35 x + .70 (20) = .45(x+20)

Distribute

.35x + 14 = .45x +9

Subtract .35x from each side

14 = .10x +9

Subtract 9 from each side

5 = .10x

Divide each side by .1

5/.1 = x

a businessman bought three machines at rs 5400 each and spent 4000 on rearing and sold the machines for Rs Rs 7000 each, how much profit didi he make?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{Rs \: 800}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of three machines with repairment charge ( CP ) = 5400 × 3 + 4000

= Rs 20200

Selling price of 1 machine = Rs 7000

Selling price of 3 machines ( S.P )= Rs 7000 × 3

= Rs 21000

Since , SP > CP , he made a profit

Profit = SP - CP

= Rs 21000 - Rs 20200

= Rs 800

--------------------------------------------------------------

Further more explanation

Profit and loss

In any business , owners have intension to have profit by selling articles. The price at which an article is purchased is called it's Cost price ( C.P ) and the price at which it is sold is called Selling price ( S.P ).

If the selling price is less than cost price of an article then there is a loss.

[tex] \mathrm{Loss \: = \: Cost \: Price \: (C.P) - Selling \: Price \: (S.P)}[/tex]

If the selling price is more than cost price of an article then there is a profit ( gain )

[tex] \mathrm{Profit = Selling \: Price \: (S.P) - Cost \: Price \: (C.P)}[/tex]

So, If S.P > C.P, there is profit in dealing.

If C.P > SP , there is loss in dealing.

It is estimated that 52% of drivers text while driving . What is the probability the next driver texting while driving that a police officer pulls over is the fifth driver?

Answers

Answer:

0.0276

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that the next driver is texting while driving is shown below:

= Fourth pull failure × fifth pull success

where,

Fourth pull failure is (1 - 0.52)^4

And, the fifth pull success is 0.52

Now placing these values to the above formula

So,

= (1 - 0.52)^4 × 0.52

= 0.0276

Hence, the probability is 0.0276

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C is on the midpoint of a section of highway, represented by AB. If AB = 32 miles,
AC = 4x miles, and CB = 12 + x miles, explain three different ways
that
you
could
solve for x.

Answers

To solve this question, we need to understand the concept of midpoint.

Doing this, we get that x is equals to 4 miles., and we find it using each of these three ways:

[tex]AC = CB[/tex][tex]AC = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex][tex]CB = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

Segment:

C is the midpoint of the segment AB, which means that:

The distance of the initial point A to the midpoint C is the same as the distance of the midpoint C to the final point B.

[tex]AC = CB[/tex]

The distance of the midpoint to one of the endpoints is half the total distance, that is:

[tex]AC = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

[tex]CB = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

Solution:

We have to solve for x, considering one of the three relations.

Considering:

[tex]AC = 4x, CB = 12 + x[/tex]

[tex]AC = CB[/tex]

[tex]4x = 12 + x[/tex]

[tex]4x - x = 12[/tex]

[tex]3x = 12[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

The solution for x is x = 4 miles.

The lines on a 2-cup liquid measuring cup divide each cup into eighths If you measure 1 3/4 cups of water between which two quantities can you be certain that your exact measurement will be

Answers

Answer:

The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 3/4 = 1 6/8

Since the lines are every 1/8 of a cup, there are a total of 16 lines indicating 1/8 of a cup for a total of two full cups.

1/8 less than 1 6/8 is 1 5/8.

1/8 more than 1 6/8 is 1 7/8.

The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.

Find the X

Answers

Answer: x = 18

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the isosceles decomposition theorem.

The Isosceles Decomposition Theorem states that in an isosceles triangle if a line segment goes from the vertex angle to the base, the following conditions are equivalent:

The line segment meets the base at its midpoint, The line segment is perpendicular to the base. The line segment bisects the vertex angle.

In this question, the first condition that is equivalent would be useful.

Solve:

Given information

First side of the line segment (TU) = 2x + 24

Second side of the line segment (UR) = 5x - 30

Given expression deducted from the first condition of the isosceles decomposition theorem

Second side = First side

Substitute values into the expression

5x - 30 = 2x + 24

Add 30 on both sides

5x - 30 + 30 = 2x + 24 + 30

5x = 2x + 54

Subtract 2x on both sides

5x - 2x = 2x + 54 - 2x

3x = 54

Divide 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 54 / 3

Which of the following could be the value of xy if y = 7and x>7?

Answers

Answer:

Any number greater than 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 7>0 then multiplying both sides of x>7 by 7 will not effect the direction of the inequality.

If x>7, then 7x>7(7) or 7x>49 after simplifying.

Substituting y for 7 since y=7 gives yx>49.

By commutative property of multiplication we have xy>49.

So any number greater than 49.
