keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check firstly what's the slope of the equation above hmmmm

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (3,4)
Answer: 62 feet approximately.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Based on the information given in the problem, you can draw a right triangle as the one shown in the image attached, where the height of the tent is represented with 
. Therefore, you can calculate it as following:
Where:
2. Substitute values and solve for , then the height of the circus tent is:
≈
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest is
I = Prt
where I is the interest earned, P is the initial deposit, r is the rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years. For us,
I = 125(.03)(3) which gives us an interest amount of
I = 11.25
To find out how much money she has total after that interest builds up, we add that interest amount to the initial investement amount to get
125 + 11.25 = 136.25
Answer:
(a) x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
(b) youngest: 7 years old
middle: 9 years old
oldest: 11 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
We know that x is the youngest child's age. Since the sisters' ages are consecutive odd integers, we know that the ages differ by 2. So, the middle sister's age is x + 2 and the oldest sister's age is x + 4.
Our equation to model the sentence "the sum of the age of the youngest and three times the age of the oldest is five less than five times the middle sister's age" would be:
x + 3 * (x + 4) = 5 * (x + 2) - 5
x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
(b)
Now, we can just solve the equation above:
x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
x + 3x + 12 = 5x + 10 - 5
4x + 12 = 5x + 5
x = 12 - 5 = 7
So, the youngest sister is 7 years old.
That means the middle sister is 7 + 2 = 9 years old, and the oldest sister is 9 + 2 = 11 years old.
The ages, then, are:
youngest: 7 years old
middle: 9 years old
oldest: 11 years old
