Three years from now Tom will be twice as old as Jean and two years ago the sum of their ages was 26. How old is Tom now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom'age: a

Jean'age: b

3+a=2(b+3)

a-2+b-2=26

or

a =2b+3

2b+3-2+b-2=26

or

a=2b+3

3b=27

or

a=21

b=9

Answer 2

Thus the required present age of Tom and Jean is 21 years and 9 years.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Let the present age of Tom and Jean is x and y.

Three years from now Tom will be twice as old as Jean.
x + 3 = 2 ( y + 3 )
x = 2y + 6 - 3
x = 2y + 3  - - - - - - - - -(1)

two years ago the sum of their ages was 26.
x - 2 + y - 2 = 26
x + y = 26 + 4
x + y = 30 - - - - - - -(2)

From equation 1 put x in equation 2.
2y + 3 + y = 30
3y = 30 - 3
3y = 27
y = 9

Put y in equation 2
x + 9 = 30
x = 30 - 9
x = 21

Thus the required present age of Tom and Jean is 21 years and 9 years.

In March, Mateo ran 19 miles. In April, he ran twice as many miles as he ran in March. In May, he ran four times as many miles as he did in April. How many total miles did Mateo run in the three months? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

209

Step-by-step explanation:

march = 19 miles

april = 19 times 2 = 38

may = 38 times 4 = 152

so that'd be 19 + 38 + 152 = 209 miles in total.

209 miles Mateo ran in the three months.

What is Simplification?

Simplification in mathematical terms is a process to convert a long mathematical expression in simple and easy form.

Given that,

Mateo ran in March = 19 miles,

Also,

Mateo ran in April = 2 times of ran in March = 2 x 19 = 38 miles

Mateo ran in May = 4 times of ran in April = 4 x 38 = 152 miles.

Total distance ran by Mateo in all three months

= ran in March + ran in April + ran in May

= 19 + 38 + 152

= 209 miles.

Mateo ran 209 miles in all three months.

Alice wrote three consecutive even numbers. The sum of these numbers was 252.

Pat wrote three consecutive odd numbers. Pat's numbers were larger than Alice's numbers.

The difference between the largest of Pat's numbers and the largest of Alice's numbers was 25.

What was the sum of Pat's numbers?

Answers

Answer:

333

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent Alice's numbers and p represent Pat's numbers.

Alice wrote three consecutive even numbers. The sum of the three is 252. This means:

[tex]a+(a+2)+(a+4)=252[/tex]

The first term is even. Each consecutive even term is two more than the previous term. Simplify:

[tex]3a+6=252\\3a=246\\a=84[/tex]

In other words, Alice's first number was 84.

Pat wrote three consecutive odd numbers. His numbers were larger than Alice's numbers. Similar to Alice, we can write:

[tex](p+1)+(p+3)+(p+5)=x[/tex]

The first term is odd. Each consecutive odd term will be 1 more, then 3 more, then 5, etc. We want to find Pat's sum, or x.

We are told that the difference between the largest of Pat's and Alice's  numbers is 25. Therefore:

[tex](p+5)-(a+4)=25[/tex]

Simplify. Substitute a. Solve for p:

[tex]p-a+1=25\\p-84=24\\p=108[/tex]

Therefore, Pat's sum is:

[tex](108+1)+(108+3)+(108+5)=333[/tex]

Which Mean Absolute Deviation represents more consistency? 15.2 or 10.9

Answers

Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step Explanation:

The Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set tells us how far apart, on average, each data value is to the mean of the data set.

The smaller the Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set is, the closer each data value is to the mean. This also implies less variability of the data set.

Invariably, the smaller the M.A.D, which connotes less variability, the more consistent the data set is.

Therefore, a M.A.D of 10.9 represents more consistency than a M.A.D of 15.2

Last year, there were 245 pies baked for the bake sale. This year, there were k pies baked . Using k, write an expression for the total number of pies baked in the two years.

Answers

Answer:

245 + k

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that,

245 = amt. of pies baked for the bake sale last year.

--> and k = (unknown) amt. of pies baked for the bake sale this year.

Using k, we need to write the total amt. of pies baked for bake sales in the 2 years.

last year + this year =>

respectively, 245 and k

Thus, we get 245 + k

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: The height of a tree increases by 2.5 feet each growing season.

Answers

Answer: Linear model

The fact the height increases the same amount each time indicates we have a linear model. The slope is the rate of growth, so it is 2.5 feet per season.

Keep in mind that the linear model only works for a specific interval and doesn't work forever (the tree can't grow forever and at the same rate). A more realistic scenario is that the tree's height grows quickly at first and then slows down over time. For this type of scenario we would use a logarithmic model.

The linear model best fits the given situation option (B) linear is correct.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have:

The height of a tree increases by 2.5 feet each growing season.

Let h is the height and s be the number of seasons.

The relation between h and s:

h = 2.5s

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65, when y=4?
x=13 1/4
x=21 2/3

Answers

Hello there! :)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x = 27}[/tex]

Given the equation:

3x - 4y = 65 where y = 4

Substitute in 4 for "y":

3x - 4(4) = 65

Simplify:

3x - 16 = 65

Add 16 to both sides:

3x - 16 + 16 = 65 + 16

3x = 81

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 81/3

x = 27.

Answer: x = 27

Explanation:

3x - 4y = 65
3x - 4(4) = 65
3x - 16 = 65
3x = 65 + 16
3x = 81
x = 81/3
x = 27

Each serving of a pancake recipe calls for 1/4 cup of flour. How many servings can be made with 2 cups of flour?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 8 servings of pancakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each serving of pancakes calls for 1/4 cup of flour, to find how many servings can be made with 2 cups of flour, we should divide 2 cups by 1/4 cup.

To do this, we can first convert 1/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.  

1/4 = 0.25

Next, we can go ahead with the division.

2 / 0.25 = 8

Therefore, 8 servings of pancakes can be made with 2 cups of flour.

what is the change in each term of the sequence? 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6​

Answers

Begin by studying the pattern.

Notice that the difference between 0.8 and 1 is 0.2.

In other words, 0.8 + 0.2 is 1.

In the same way, 1 + 0.2 is 1.2.

1.2 + 0.2 is 1.4 and 1.4 + 0.2 is 1.6.

So we can see that the difference

between each of the terms is 0.2.

Answer:

+.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term

1 - .8 = .2

Check by subtracting the second term from the third term

1.2 - 1 = .2

The common difference is .2

What is the rule for the transformation from triangle EFG to triangle E'F'G'?

Answers

Answer:

The rule of the transformation is 6 units up and 3 units to the right [tex]T_{(3, \ 6)}[/tex] and an horizontal dilation of 2 as well as a vertical dilation of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of EFG and E'F'G' from the chart are;

E(3, 2)

F(9, 5)

G(9, 2)

E'(6, 8)

F'(18, 20)

G'(18, 8)

Therefore, we have, given that the y-coordinates of E and G are the same, the length of segment EG = 9 - 3 = 6 units

Similarly, given that the x-coordinates of F and G are the same, the length of segment FG = 5 - 2 = 3 units

The length of segment FE =  [tex]l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}[/tex] which gives;

Length from E(3, 2) to F(9, 5) = [tex]l = \sqrt{\left (5-2 \right )^{2}+\left (9-3 \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}[/tex]

For similarly oriented E'F'G', we have;

E'G' = 18 - 6 = 12

F'G' = 20 - 8 = 12

E'F' = 12·√2

Therefore, the transformation is 6 units up and 3 units to the right and an horizontal dilation of 2 as well as a vertical dilation of 4.

3x=180−45
