Let x be the age of ishaan so the age of ben will be 12+x. the equation will become x=x+12
Going 3 years back, the age of ishaan was x-3 so that of ben would be x+12-3 before 3 years. at that time the age of ben was 4 times the age of ishaan. it means x+12-3(the age of ben)=4(x-3(the age of ishaan))
solving this equation, we get the answer x=7. this is the age of ishaan in the present.

Х years - Ishaan
(x + 12) years - Ben

3 years ago :
(х - 3) years - Ishaan
((x + 12) - 3) years - Ben
-------------------------------------------------
(x + 12) - 3 = (x - 3) * 4
x + 9 = 4x - 12
x - 4x = - 12 - 9
- 3x = - 21
x = 21 : 3
х = 7 years - is Ishaan now.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)

QveST [7]

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

So the midpoint of your segment is

$\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)$

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.

Answer:

946.242 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

The client drank 6 ounces of orange juice and 4 ounces of coffee for breakfast. We need to convert ounces to milliliters

1 ounce = 29.574 milliliters

6 ounces of orange juice

= 6 × 29.574 = 177.444 milliliters

4 ounces of coffee = 4 × 29.574 = 118.296 milliliters

For lunch, he consumed 8 ounces of tea and 6 ounces of ginger ale.

8 ounces of tea = 8 × 29.574 =236.529 milliliters

6 ounces of ginger ale = 6 × 29.574 =177.444 milliliters

4 ounces of water at 10:00 a.m. and at 2:00 p.m. this means 8 ounces of water.

8 ounces of water = 8 × 29.574 =236.529 milliliters

Total consumption by the client =

177.444 + 118.296 + 236.529 + 236.529= 946.242 milliliters
