<h2>Systems of Equations Word Problems</h2>

To solve these questions, we can translate key words into operations:

  • <em>Difference</em> = subtract
  • <em>Twice</em> = double
  • <em>Less than</em> = subtract

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age

There are two variables given two us: Annie's age and Carl's age.

  • Let Annie's age be equal to <em>x.</em>
  • Let Carl's age be equal to <em>y</em>.

Translate the given information into two equations:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
    ⇒ x-2y=22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age
    ⇒ x=3y-13

Now, we can substitute the fist equation into the second one to solve for <em>y</em>:

(3y-13)-2y=22\\3y-13-2y=22\\y-13=22\\y=35

Now, substitute <em>y</em> back into the second equation to solve for <em>x</em>:

x=3y-13\\x=3(35)-13\\x=105-13\\x=92

<h2>Answer</h2>

Therefore, Grandma Annie is 92 years old.

Kyle is a salesman. His monthly earnings include a fixed monthly salary and a commission that is a fixed percentage of his total
____ [38]

Answer:

Kyle’s fixed monthly salary in dollars is $1800

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be the fixed monthly salary

let b% represent the fixed percentage of sales

a+(b%*15000)=2550

a+(b%*25000)=3050

a+(b/100*15000)=2550

a+150b=2550

a+(b/100*25000)=3050

a+250b=3050

now we have

a+150b=2550

a+250b=3050

let subtract a+150b=2550 from a+250b=3050

100b=500

b=500/100=5%

then a+(5%*15000)=2550

      a+750=2550

      a=2550-750=$1800

1. Part A: Use the properties of exponents to explain why 64^1/2 is called the square root of 64.
Dmitriy789 [7]
A: When you multiply two numbers, their exponents add. 
So, 64^{\frac{1}{2}} * 64^{\frac{1}{2}} = 64^{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} = 64^{1} = 64

Since 64^1/2 multiplied by itself is 64, then it is the square root of 64.

B: The area is irrational. 7 * √7 is irrational.
