One brother says of his younger brother: “Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years’ time, I will be twice as old as my brother.” How old are they each now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One brother says of his younger brother: “Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years’ time, I will be twice as old as my brother.” How old are they each now?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

Answer 2

The age of the older brother is 13 and the age of the younger brother is 5.

Two simultaneous equations can be determined from this question:

y = 3x - 2 equation 1

y = 2x + 3 equation 2

Where:

y = older brother's age

x = younger brother's age

Equate equation 1 and equation 2

3x - 2 = 2x + 3

Combine similar terms

3x - 2x = 3 + 2

x = 5

Substitute for x in equation 1

3(5) - 2

15 - 2

y =13

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

Answers

Answer:

B {6, 6, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

For a given triangle with 3 sides, the sun of the length of any two sides must be greater Than the third side. This can be expressed mathematically as;

Let the side be ;

x, y and z

Then:

x > (y + z) or

y > (x + z) or

z > (x + y)

For A{2,5,9}

(2 + 5) < 9 (does not meet criteria)

For B {6,6,7}

(6 +6) > 7

(7 +6) > 6

Meets all criteria

For C {6,4,2}

(4 +2) is not greater Than 6 (does not meet criteria)

For D {7,8,1}

(7 +1) is not greater Than 8 ( does not meet criteria)

According to the same report, the 28.5 million passengers in 2018 represented a 6.7% increase in cruise passengers since 2017. How many cruise passengers must there have been in 2017

Answers

Answer:

approximately 26.7 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cruise passengers in 2017.

6.7% increase of x gives us 28.5 m cruise passengers in 2018.

Thus, 106.7 % of x = 28.5

[tex] \frac{106.7}{100} * x = 28.5 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{106.7x}{100} = 28.5 [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 100

[tex] \frac{106.7x}{100} * 100 = 28.5*100 [/tex]

[tex] 106.7x = 2850 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 106.7

[tex] \frac{106.7x}{106.7} = \frac{2850}{106.7} [/tex]

[tex] x = 26.7 [/tex] (approximated)

Number of passengers in 2017 must have been approximately 26.7 million

What is the value of this expression when x = -6 and ? 4(x2 + 3) − 2y

Answers

hi! i’m going to assume that the 2 next to the x is an exponent, so forgive me if i answer incorrectly. after plugging in x for -6 your equation should be 4(-6^2+3)-2y (the ^ indicates a exponent)

multiply the exponents and get:

4(36+3)-2y

add the parentheses:

4(39)-2y

multiply by 4:

156-2y

and divide by -2 (to isolate the y)

y=-78

this might be wrong, but i hope it helps :)



Answer:

So you kinda forgot to mention the part where y = -1/2 but the answer is 157

The area of a square is 289 ft2. What is the length of each side?​

Answers

Answer:

17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a square is length x length, or [tex]length^{2}[/tex]

so, since you already have the area, do the opposite of squaring it, which is finding the square root.

[tex]\sqrt{289}[/tex] = 17

The length of each side of a square is   [tex]17 feet[/tex]  whose area is  [tex]289 ft sq[/tex]. (mentioned in the question).

A square is a four-sided figure in which all sides are equal in length and the measure of each angle is [tex]90^0[/tex]. The area is defined as the space that is contained inside the closed boundary or perimeter or circumference.

We know that the

area of the square = [tex]side \times side[/tex]

[tex]289 ft sq[/tex]     [tex]= side \times side[/tex]

[tex]289 = (side) ^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{289 } = side[/tex]

[tex]17 = side[/tex]

Thus, the length of each side of a square consisting of an area of[tex]289 ft sq[/tex] is [tex]17 feet[/tex]  .

A triangle has a perimeter of 48 inches. Side B is nine inches longer than side A. The base is 7 inches more than twice side A. What are the dimensions of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

  (A, B, C) = (8, 17, 23) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let A, B, and C represent the corresponding side lengths. Then we are given ...

  A + B + C = 48 . . . . . . the perimeter is 48 inches

  B = A + 9 . . . . . . . . . . . B is 9 inches longer than A

  C = 2A +7 . . . . . . . . . . the base (remaining side) is 7 inches more than ...

Substituting for B and C in the first equation, we have ...

  A + (A+9) +(2A+7) = 48

  4A = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 16

  A = 8

  B = A+9 = 17

  C = 2A +7 = 23

Side A is 8 inches, side B is 17 inches, and side C is 23 inches.

Oscar rode his bicycle at a rate of 9 mph and then speed up to 16 mph. he rode 30 minutes longer at 9 mph than he did at 16 mph. If he traveled a total of 22 miles, how long did he ride at the slower rate?

Answers

Answer:

t = 0.7 h

The time he rode at a slower speed is 1.2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

-The question involves algebra, to find the time the distance formula is used involving the values ​​of distance, time and speed.

- distance = speed 1 * time 1 + speed 2 * time 2

If Oscar traveled for t minutes at 9mph and it took him 15 minutes longer than when he traveled at 16mph it means that:

speed 1 * time 1 + 30 minutes.

But 30 minutes converted to hours is 0.5 hours

 

22 miles = 9 * (t + 0.5) + 16 * t

22 = 9t + 4.5 + 16t

17.5 = 25t

17.5 / 25 = t

The answer is: t = 0.7

Checking the value in the equation:

22 miles = 9 * (t + 0.5) + 16 * t

22 = 9 * (0.7 + 0.5) + 16 * 0.7

22 = 9 * 1.2 + 11.2

22 = 10.8 + 11.2

22 = 22

Which two expressions , added together , form a function with the following characteristics?

-It’s range is all real numbers
- it’s graph has exactly two x-intercepts

Answers

Answer:

Options (B) and (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to form a function which has following characteristics,

1). Its range is all real numbers

 Which means graph of the given function starts from negative side of the y-axis (-∞) and goes towards positive direction of the y-axis (+∞).

It's a typical characteristic of odd degree polynomial/function.

2). The graph has exactly two x-intercepts.

  Which means when we put f(x) = 0, we get exactly two values of x.

Therefore, function will be, f(x) = x³ + x²

Range of the function → (-∞, ∞) Or a set of all real numbers.

x-intercepts → f(x) = x³ + x² = 0

                             x²(x + 1) = 0

                             x = -1, 0

Therefore, Options (B) and (C) will be the answer.

How far is it from galapagos Islands to naura travelling over the pacific ocean along the equator, correct to the nearest km

Answers

Answer:

11481.4875 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the that :

Galapagos island and Island of Naura are on the equator

Galapagos = 90.30°W

Island of Naura = 166.56°E

Ensuring same bearing is used for both :

Island of Naura = 166.56°E = (360° - 166.56°) = 193.44°W

Hence, we can calculate the difference in the bearing of both locations :

(193.44 - 90.30)°W = 103.14°

Hence the distance between Galapagos and Island of Naura along the equator is :

(Difference in bearing / total bearing) * earth's Circumference

Earth's Circumference = 40,075km

(103.14 / 360) × 40,075

Answers

Answer:

2 works

-3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x + 7) - 1 = x                      Add 1 to both sides

sqrt(x + 7) = x + 1                     Square both sides

(x + 7) = (x + 1 )^2

x + 7 = x^2 + 2x + 1                Subtract x from both sides

0 = x^2 + x + 1 -7                    

0 = x^2 + x - 6                        This will factor

(x + 3)(x - 2)  = 0                      Find the values for x

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

Now you must check this to see if both values work

sqrt(-3 + 7)  - 1 = -3

sqrt(4) - 1 = -3

2 - 1 =? - 3

1 does not equal - 3. Therefore - 3 is extraneous. Try x = 2

sqrt(2 + 7) - 1 = 2

sqrt(9) - 1 = 2

3 - 1 = 2

2 = 2
