Devaughn is 15 years younger than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 37 . What is Sydney's age?

1 answer:

7 0

Hi,
Let Sydney's age be x.
Devaughn=(x-15)
x+(x-15)=37
x+x-15=37
2x-15=37
2x=37+15
2x=52
x=52/2
x=26
Sydney is 26 years old.
Hope this Helps you.

Answer:

The answer is 50 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 200

Divide both sides by 4

x = 200 \div 4 = 50

so after 50 hours of walking, the men will be 200 miles apart.

Line segment NY has endpoints N(-11, 5) and Y(3,-3).

777dan777 [17]

Given:

Line segment NY has endpoints N(-11, 5) and Y(3,-3).

To find:

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of NY.

Solution:

Midpoint point of NY is

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-11+3}{2},\dfrac{5-3}{2}\right)$

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{2}{2}\right)$

$Midpoint=\left(-4,1\right)$

Slope of lines NY is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\dfrac{-3-5}{3-(-11)}$

$m=\dfrac{-8}{14}$

$m=\dfrac{-4}{7}$

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So,

$m_1\times \dfrac{-4}{7}=-1$

$m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}$

The perpendicular bisector of NY passes through (-4,1) with slope $\dfrac{7}{4}$ . So, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is

$y-y_1=m_1(x-x_1)$

$y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x-(-4))$

$y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x+4)$

$y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}x+7$

Add 1 on both sides.

$y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8$

Therefore, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is $y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8$ .

Answer: Option (D) Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

Explanation:

Given expression:

$(2^3)(2^{-4})$

<em>Step-1: </em>Add the exponents and keep the same base by using $x^a*x^b = x^{a+b}$ property.

$(2^3)(2^{-4}) = 2^{(3+(-4))} = 2^{-1}$

Step-2: The reciprocal of $2^{-1}$ is $\frac{1}{2^{-1}}$ , which is $2^1$

Step-3: The exponent of $2^1$ is +1; therefore, change the sign of exponent. The end expression will now become:

$2^{-1}$

Hence, the correct option is (D) Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
