Let x represent Mandy's age and y represent Sandy's.

From the first statement we have:
5x=2y

From the second statement we have:
2*(x + 8) = 1*(y + 8)

So we need to solve this system of equations:
\left \{ {{5x=2y} \atop {2(x+8)=y+8}} \right.

Express y from first equation equation:
2y=5x
y=\frac{5}{2}x

Replace found value in second equation and solve the resulting equation:
2(x+8)=\frac{5}{2}x+8
2x+16=\frac{5}{2}x+8
2x-\frac{5}{2}x=8-16
-\frac{1}{2}x=-8
\frac{1}{2}x=8
x=8*2=16

Replace found value in first equation and solve the resulting equation:
5*16=2y
2y=80
y=40

So, Mandy is 16 years old and Sandy is 40 years old. The difference between their ages is 40 - 16 = 24 years.

There are 3 people pulling on an object, the first person pulls with a force of 226 newtons at a direction of 145 degrees the se
Alona [7]

Answer:

R=883.74N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force 1 F_1=226N

Force 2 F_2=331N

Force 3 F_3=377N

Direction 1  \theta_1=145 degrees \approx 35 \textdegree (2nd qudrant)

Direction 2 \theta_2=303 degrees \approx 57 \textdegree (3rd qudrant)

Direction 3 \theta_3=77 degrees

Generally Resolving forces to X axis is mathematically given by

 \sum f_x=337cos77+331cos57+226sin35

 \sum f_x=351.596N

Generally Resolving forces to Y axis is mathematically given by

 \sum f_y=337sin77+331sin57+226cos35

 \sum f_x=810.788N

Generally the equation for Resultant force R is mathematically given by

 R=\sqrt{\sum f_x^2+\sum f_x^2}

 R=\sqrt{351.596^2+810.788^2}

 R=883.74N
