Her brother is 8: 8 x 2 is 16, and 16 + 8= 24.

First make an equation system for the problem
An equation for "Jeanine is twice as old as her brother Marc" is
⇒ j = 2m
An equation for "the sum of their ages is 24" is
⇒ j + m = 24

Second solve the equations with subtitution method.
Subtitute j with 2m in the second equation
j + m = 24
2m + m = 24
3m = 24
m = 24/3
m = 8
Marc is 8 years old

Find Jeanine's age by subtitute m with 8 in the first equation
j = 2m
j = 2(8)
j = 16

Jeanine is 16 years old

A fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline. Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of

romanna [79]

Answer:

The gallons of gas the tank contain now is 35 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline.

Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of gasoline to the tank.

Now, to find the total gallons of gas the tank contain.

Converting the mixed fractions into improper.

Gallons of gasoline in fuel tank $=1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$ .

Gallons of gasoline Casey adds $=33\frac{1}{3} =\frac{100}{3}$ .

According to question:

By adding we get the total gallons of gasoline now tank contain:

$\frac{7}{4} +\frac{100}{3}$

$=\frac{7\times 3+100\times 4}{12}$

$=\frac{21+400}{12}$

$=\frac{421}{12}$

$=35\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore, the gallons of gas the tank contain now is 35 1/12.

A gallon of Moo Milk cost $5.12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 8 oz glassof Moo Milk?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The cost for a gallon of Moo Milk is $5.12
To find the cost of 8 fl. oz. of Moo Milk, the unit price must be found.

Therefore:

One gallon of liquid equals 128 fluid ounces.

5.12 ÷ 128 = 0.04

0.04 × 8 = 0.32

Therefore, the cost of 8 fluid ounces of Moo Milk is $0.032

I hope this helped - Maria S.

Mean Value theorem help! BRAINLIEST if you can explain it clearly!!!

Korolek [52]

$\bf f(x)=ln(x-5)\qquad [6,8]\qquad \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{1}{x-5}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{mean value theorem}\qquad f'(c)=\cfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
f'(c)=\cfrac{1}{c-5}\qquad thus\quad \cfrac{1}{c-5}=\cfrac{f(8)-f(6)}{8-6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{c-5}=\cfrac{ln(3)-ln(1)}{2}\implies \cfrac{1}{c-5}=\cfrac{ln(3)-0}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2}{ln(3)}=c-5\implies \boxed{\cfrac{2}{ln(3)}+5=c}$
