m = 5a

m + a = 30

Because we already know the value of m, we can find the value of a.

5a + a = 30

Combine like terms.

6a = 30

Divide both sides by 6

a = 5

Now that we know the value of a, we can find the true value of m.

m = 5a

m = 5 * 5

m = 25

Aisha is 5 years old, and Aisha's mother is 25 years old. (This is your answer.)

Fran has 7 sheets of paper for a colouring project. If she only uses 1/3 of a sheet of paper per drawing how many drawings can s

Sav [38]

So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.

Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.

140 subtracted from the square of a number the result is three times the number find the negative solution

natima [27]

Answer:

$Suppose~that~the~number~is~x.\\According~to~question,\\x^2-140=3x\\or, x^2-3x-140=0\\From~the~quadratic~formula,\\x = \frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} ~and ~x= \frac{-(-3)-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} \\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{9+560} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{9+569} }{2}\\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{569} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}\\So,~the~required~negative~number~is~\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}.$

The height in feet of a baseball can be modeled by the function y=-16t^2+64t where t is the time in

VikaD [51]

Answer:

the ball reaches a height of 64 feet after 2 sec.

The ball is in the air 4 sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball is following the path of a parabola. The maximum height is at the vertex of the parabola.

Let (h, k) be the vertex. h will be the time it takes to reach the maximum height, and k will be that height.

y = $-16t^{2} + 64t$

h = -b/2a = 64/(-2)(-16) = 64/32 = 2

k = -16(2)^2 + 64(2)

-16(4) + 128

- 64 + 128 = 64

V: (2, 64)

So the ball reaches a height of 64 feet after 2 sec.

Let $-16t^{2} + 64t$ = 0 (0 is the height when the balls hits the ground)

-16t(t - 4) = 0

t = 0 or t = 4

The ball is in the air 4 sec.

translate this phrase into an algebraic expression 59 Less than twice a number use the variable n to represent the unknown numbe

Semenov [28]

To write the given phrase as an algebraic expression you can identify what does each part of the phrase mean:

59 less than: You have to substract 59 to the other part of the phrase

twice a number: as the number is n, twice a number is 2n

Then, you get the next algebraic expression:

$2n-59$
