What is four times a age decreased by 3 is equal to 3 times the age increased by 7. what is the age

1 answer:

Call the age a.

4a-3=3a+7

Add 3 to both sides and subtract 3a from both sides to get:

a=10

Therefore, 10 is the age.

Let:

x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.

Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.

Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10

The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.

We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.

Equating both costs:

0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)

Operating:

0.8x + 10 = 8 + x

Subtracting x and 10:

0.8x - x = 8 - 10

Simplifying:

-0.2x = -2

Dividing by -0.2:

x = -2/(-0.2)

x = 10

Answer: 10 pounds

The length of the base of a scalene triangle is 22 meters and the height is 14 meters. Find the area of the scalene triangle

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Area is 154 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Well lets think about this

If I take a rectangle and cut it into half diagonally I would get 2 triangles right?

So if I have 2 triangles of the same height and base I can make a rectangle

to find the area of a rectangle I do length times width

So lets take our scalene triangle and multiply our base with its width and then divide by 2

22*14 = 308

308/2 is 154

Well, i depends on how much the van cost bc if you do have enough for the van alone, then you will not have enough for the gas or for snacks for the 180mile drive

Determine the equation

sergejj [24]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

two points on the line are

(-1, -2)

(-5, -5)

The slope:

$m=\frac{-2-(-5)}{-1-(-5)} =\frac{-2+5}{-1+5} =\frac{3}{4}$

The equation:

with (-1,-2)

$y-(-2)=\frac{3}{4} (x-(-1))$

$y+2=\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{3}{4} -\frac{8}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{5}{4}$

Hope this helps
