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

Pauline orders wristbands from two different companies. • Company 1 sells each wristband for $2 and has free shipping. Company 2
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

8 wristbands

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that both of the company were ordered to deliver w wristbands.

The amount of money charged by company 1 who sells at $2 and offers free shipping is given as:

2w

The amount of money charged by company 2 who sells at $1.25 and $6 for shipping per order given as:

1.25w + 6

If both companies charge the same amount, hence:

2w = 1.25w + 6

2w - 1.25w = 6

0.75w = 6

w = 6/0.75

w = 8

The two companies charge the same amount for 8 wristbands

What is the an equation of the horizontal line through (5,-2)
Vikki [24]

Answer: y = -2

Step-by-step explanation: Because the line is horizontal, the slope is 0. So on a graph the line will cut through (5,-2), (4,-2), (3,-2), (2,-2), (1,-2), and (0,-2). The line can pass through any x value, but the y value will always stay the same for this line. This means the y-intercept is -2. Because the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2, the equation is y = 0x -2, but there is no value in keeping the 0. So, you take it out leaving you with y = -2.

Hope This Helps! Good Luck and Have a Great Night!
