Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

No it is not correct because the theater sold six times more than what they have sold so if earlier they said 1456 divided by 6 your taking away but they said that they sold 6 TIMES MORE

A student borrows a total of $5400 in student loan from two lenders. Bank One charges 4.3% simple
g100num [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $1400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount borrowed from Bank 1. For each loan, the interest is given by I=Prt, where P is the principal borrowed at rate r for t years.

Then the total interest over 3 years is ...

  3(4.3%·x +5.9%(5400 -x)) = 888.60

  -1.6%·x +318.60 = 296.20 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3, simplify

  -1.6%·x = -22.40 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 318.60

  x = 22.40/0.016 = 1400

The student borrowed $1400 from Bank 1.

I need help with this question
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = -20x^2 +14x +12 and

g(x) = 5x - 6

We need to find f/g and state its domain.

f/g = -20x^2 +14x +12/5x - 6

Taking -2 common from numerator:

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 7x - 6) / 5x -6

Factorize 10x^2 - 7x - 6= 10x^2 - 12x +5x -6

Putting in the above equation

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 12x +5x -6)/ 5x -6

f/g = -2(2x(5x-6) + 1 (5x-6)) / 5x-6

f/g = -2 ( (2x+1)(5x-6))/5x-6

cancelling 5x-6 from numerator and denominator

f/g = -2(2x+1)

f/g = -4x -2

The domain of the function is set of all values for which the function is defined and real.

So, our function g(x) = 5x -6 and domain will be all real numbers except x = 6/5 as denominator will be zero if x=5/6 and the function will be undefined.

So, Option B is correct.
