Answer:

Tom's mum is 34 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Tom is 10 years old, and Lizzy is 4/5 Tom's age. What you want to do is convert that fraction into a decimal which leaves you with 0.80. You then have to multiply 0.80 by 10, which gives you 8. After that, all you have to do is multiply 8 by 4.25, which leaves you with 34. This means Tom's mum is 34 years of age.

Which function represents exponential decay?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay occurs when the base is less than 1 but greater than 0.

3/2 = 1.5 and is greater than 1.

-3/2 is not greater than 0 and is not exponential

-2/3 is not greater than 0 and is not exponential

2/3 is less than 1 and greater than 0. This is decay.

Hey, Y'all. Was wonderin' bout this pesky question that got me a bit stumped. Thank ya for your help.

Answer: Choice B) (24,10)

---------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

2x - 4y = 8
2( x ) - 4y = 8
2( 3y-6 ) - 4y = 8 ... notice x has been replaced with 3y-6
2(3y)+2(-6) - 4y = 8
6y-12 - 4y = 8
2y-12 = 8
2y-12+12 = 8+12 ... add 12 to both sides
2y = 20
2y/2 = 20/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 10

If y = 10, then
x = 3y-6
x = 3*10-6 ... replace y with 10
x = 30-6
x = 24

Put together, the solution is (x,y) = (24,10)
which is why the answer is choice B

As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (24,10) into each equation
x = 3y-6
24 = 3*10 - 6
24 = 30 - 6
24 = 24 ... true equation
and similarly for the second equation as well
2x-4y = 8
2*24 - 4*10 = 8
48 - 40 = 8
8 = 8 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (24,10) so the solution is confirmed

8/f = 56/105 what is f?
svetlana [45]
8/15 = 56/105

This may be solved using proportion.
a/b = c/d
ad = bc   where cross products are equal.

a = 8
b = f
c  = 56
d = 105

ad = bc
8*105 = f*56
840 = 56f
840/56 = 56f/56
f = 15

56 ÷ 7 = 8
105 ÷ 7 = 15
