Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

A person jogged 10 times along the perimeter of a rectangular field at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes. If fie
balu736 [363]

Answer:

20,000m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If they jog 12 km/h for half an hour, they have covered.

12 X 0.5 = 6km in 10 circuits. Making 1 perimeter

6 / 10 =0.6 km (600 m).

To determine area we need to convert this perimeter to length and width. We know that it is a rectangle, with 2 equal widths and 2 equal lengths, and the length is twice the width.

So L = 2W

Perimeter = 2W + 2L

600 m = 2W + 2(2W)

600 m = 6W

W = 100 m

L = 200 m

Area = 100 X 200 = 20,000 m²

How can you find the slope of a line and use it to<br> solve problems?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Mark two points on the line in the graph.

2) Determine the rise and run. Rise ---> difference in y-coordinates. (y2-y1)

Run -----> difference in  x-coordinates (x2 - x1)

3) Plugin the values in the below mentioned formula.

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

1.If slope = 0, then the line is parallel to x-axis.

2. If slope is undefined, then the line is parallel to y-axis.

3. If slope is +ve, then the line slant upwards and if slope = -ve, then the line slant downwards.

In finding this value you average lower and upper bound
  (0.6+0.82)/2 = 0.71   =0.71  estimated    margin of error = distance from  estimate point lower/ upper bound   This interval will be twice margin error
   (0.82-0.6)/2 = 0.11    How far is 0.82 from 0.71 ??   =0.11=11%
