Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.

A young couple purchases their first new home in 2011 for​ $95,000. They sell it to move into a bigger home in 2018 for​ $105,00
mart [117]

Given:

The value of home in 2011 is $95,000.

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000.

To find:

The exponential model for the value of the home.

Solution:

The general exponential model is

y=ab^x       ...(i)

where, a is initial value and b is growth factor.

Let 2011 is initial year and x be the number of years after 2011.

So, initial value of home is 95,000, i.e., a=95,000.

Put a=95000 in (i).

y=95000b^x       ...(ii)

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000. It means the value of y is 105000 at x=7.

105000=95000b^7

\dfrac{105000}{95000}=b^7

\dfrac{21}{19}=b^7

Taking 7th root on both sides, we get

\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}=b

Put b=\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}} in (ii).

y=95000\left(\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}\right)^x

y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}

Therefore, the required exponential model for the value of home is y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}, where x is the number of years after 2011.

the equivalence to 12:3

1200:300. = 12:3 (reduce by 100)

12:3= 4:1 (reduce by 3)

A=1/2h(b+c) solve for h
pogonyaev
<span>1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

2(A)=2[1/2h(b+c)
2A=2/2h(b+c)
2A=1h(b+c)
2A=h(b+c)

2) Divide both sides of the equation by (b+c):
(2A)/(b+c)=[h(b+c)]/(b+c)
2A/(b+c)=h
h=2A/(b+c)

 Answer: </span>h=2 \frac{A}{(b+c)}
