Answer:

Son's Age: 11

Mary's Age: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let set Mary and her son as variables,

M = Mary's age

S = Mary's son age

Breakdown:

"Mary is three times as old as her son"

M = 3S

"In 12 years, Mary's age will be one less than twice her son's age"

M + 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1

we add 12 to both sides as it will be in 12 years for both

We know that M = 3S, so we plug this in

3S + 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1

Now solve for S (son's age),

3S + 12 - 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1 - 12

3S = 2(S + 12) - 13

3S = 2S + 24 - 13

3S - 2S = 2S - 2S + 24 - 13

S = 24 - 13

S = 11

To find Mary age, plug in her son age ,

M = 3S

M = 3(11)

M = 33

Volume of the Sphere V = 4/3pi x r^3 So when diameter d = 3 inches => r = 1.5 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 1.5^3 = 14.14 in So when diameter d = 8 inches => r = 4 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 4^3 = 268.03 in So when diameter d = 9 inches => r = 4.5 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 4.5^3 = 381.63 in value for option (a) is 3 x 14.14 = 42.42 inches value for option (b) is 268.03 inches value for option (c) is 381.63 / 2 = 190.815 inches So the correct option would be (b)

How do you find each measure for #7?

Lunna [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

From this figure TUW+WUV=TUV ; (5x+3)+(10x-5)=17x-16 so 15x-2=17x-16 ;14=2x therefore x=7

then substitute x on it.

TUW=5x+3=5(7)+3=35+3=38

WUV=10x-5=10(7)-5=70-5=65

TUV=17x-16=17(7)-16=119-16=103

lara [203]

Answer:

3(x-2)+x=4x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1) we have

3(x-2)+x=4x-6

Solve for x

3x-6+x=4x-6

4x-6=4x-6

0=0 ----> is true for any value of x

therefore

The equation has infinite solutions

case 2) we have

3(x-2)+x=2x-6

3x-6+x=2x-6

4x-2x=-6+6

2x=0

x=0

case 3) we have

3(x-2)+x=3x-3

3x-6+x=3x-3

4x-3x=-3+6

x=3

case 4) we have

3(x-2)+x=4x+6

3x-6+x=4x+6

4x-4x=6+6

0=12 ------> is not true

therefore

The equation has no solution
