Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Anni [7]

Answer:

431,707

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the total number, you need to divide the part of the whole by the percentage it is of the whole.  This means that you need to divide 35,400 by 8.2%.

Before dividing the percentage, you need to convert it to a decimal.

8.2% = 0.082

Divide the number to find the answer.

35,400/0.082 = 431,707.3

Converted to the nearest whole number, the answer is 431,707.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

x intercept [a]=3

y intercept [b]=-5

we have

equation of a line is:

x/a+y/b=1

x/3+y/-5=1

(5x-3y)=15

5x-3y-15=0 is a required equation

The graph below shows the height of a kicked soccer ball f(x), in feet, depending on the distance from the kicker x, in feet: Pa
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>Part A:

a) What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent?

The x-intercepts are the distances at which the ball is on the ground.

First, at x = 0, that is when the ball is kicked; second, at x = 30, when the ball falls (return) to the ground.

b) What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about the distance and height? (6 points)

The function is increasing in the interval (0, 15) and is decreasing in the interval (15,30)

The increasing interval (0,15) is the horizontal distance from the point the the ball was kicked until it reached its highest altitude, this is where the ball was going upward.

The decreasing interval (15,30) is the horizontal distance from the point where the ball reached its highest altitude until it landed on the ground, this is where the ball was falling down.

Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 22 to x = 26, and what does this rate represent 

On the graph you can read that at x = 22, f(x) ≈ 12, and at x = 26 f(x) ≈ 7.

So, an approximate rate of change from x = 22 to x = 26 is given by the equation below:

                                            change on f(x)        7 - 12
average rate of change = --------------------- =    ----------- = -5/4
                                            change of x           26 - 22

That rate represents that the ball fell about 5 ft per 4 ft in that interval.
