Answer: 68
Explanation:
Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children
We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38
But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54
Substitute this value to our first equation
(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136
Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2
But x + y = 136
=> mean age = 136/2 = 68

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the perpendicular line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal
(the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
In this problem
we have
The equation of the given line is 
so
the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line is
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
we have
substitute
Convert to slope intercept form
Distribute right side
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula can be used to solve an equation only if the highest degree in the equation is 2
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation: To find the side length of a square, you need to find the square root of the area because the side length squared is the area.
