Write and solve an equation to solve the problem. Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 8 centimeters taller

than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters. In 4 months, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. How tall is Ian now? Let h be Ian's height today in centimeters.
(h + 8) + (__) + 8 = ( __) + 8 + 140

Ian is __ centimeters tall now.

Let the actual heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim be L, I and J.

i) "Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian." means: L=4+I

ii) "Ian is 8 centimeters taller than Jim." means: I=8+J, thus J=I-8

so the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim are  4+I, I and I-8, respectively.



Since their heights increase by 2 cm, in 4 months, their heights increase      2 cm*4 = 8 cm.

Thus, after 4 months the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim become:

4+I +8, I+8 and I-8+8 that is  I + 12, I+8, I.


In 4 months, "
the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. " mean:

(I+8)+I=140+(I+12)

2I+8=152+I

I=152-8=144


This solution made use of writing all the ages in terms of Ians current age.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

<h3>              a. the  vertex represents a minimum point</h3><h3>              b.  f(x) = (x + 5)² - 5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

a = 1 > 0  ← that means the parabola opens up, so the vertex is minimum of the function

b.

  f(x)=x^2+10x+20\\\\f(x)=\underline{x^2+10x+25} - 25+20\\\\f(x)=(x+5)^2-5
