To solve this problem, we need to recognize that Harry's age is given as "n". We can use this value and the given information to write expressions representing each person's age.

For Example, Jo is 2 years older than Harry and Harry's age is represented by the variable n. This means that n (Harry's age) plus 2 would equal Jo's age. This can be represented by the expression: n +2.

Next, we know that Kate is twice as old as Jo, and Jo's age is represented by the expression n+2. This means that 2 times Jo's age would be equal to Kate's age, or Kate's age = 2(n+2) or 2n +4.

Therefore, your answer is that Jo's age is n + 2 and Kate's age is 2n + 4.

Hope this helps!

How do you graph this f(x)= -3/2|x|+5 if x≤4

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

I enter the equation into a graphing calculator and let it do the graphing.

___

If you're graphing this by hand, you start by looking for the parent function. Here, it is |x|. That has a vertex of (0, 0) and a slope of +1 to the right of the vertex and a slope of -1 to the left of the vertex.

Here, the function is multiplied by -3/2, so will open downward and have slopes of magnitude 3/2 (not 1). The graph has been translated 5 units upward, so the vertex is (0, 5).

I'd start by plotting the vertex point at (0, 5), then identifying points with slope ±3/2 either side of it. To the left, it is left 2 and down 3 to (-2, 2). The points on the right of the vertex are symmetrically located about the y-axis, so one of them will be (2, 2).

Of course, you don't plot any function values for x > 4.

tangare [24]

Answer:

Since $64= 2^6$ , you have the following arrangements.

Optional: $64 \times 1$ (and it's mirror version $1 \times 64$ , if you want to consider a long strip of bottles a rectangle. Technically it is, but it's open to interpretation.

$32 \times 2$ and it's mirror $2 \times 32$ ;

$16 \times 4$ and it's mirror $4 \times 16$ ;

Optional: $8 \times 8$ . Since a square is a rectangle with extra limitations.

A company paid $72 for 2 cases of printer paper each case contained 12 packages of paper next month the company's office manager

Tems11 [23]

To figure out the cost for 180 packages, you must first calculate how many packages they bought for $72. Since each case holds 12 packages, for $72, the company bought 24 packages (12×2). Then you have to divide 24 into 180 to figure out the cost for those 180 packages and get 7.5. To get the cost of the 180 packages, you must multiply 7.5 (the number of 24 packages that go into 180) by 72 (the cost of one group of 24 packages). You then get 540. The company must pay $540 for the 180 packages.
