Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Holly's age be h and Aunt's age be a. We can setup 2 equations and solve.

1. \frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}

2. a - 15 = h

We can plug in equation 2 into equation 1 to solve for aunt's age:

\frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\\frac{a-15}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\9(a-15)=4a\\9a-135=4a\\5a=135\\a=\frac{135}{5}=27

Holly's aunt's age is 27

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have?

<u>Answer</u>

0


<u>Explanation</u>

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3)=1

Simplifying the left hand first

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3) = {2m(2m-3) - 2m(2m+3)}/(4m²-9)

                                        (4m²-6m-4m²-6m)/(4m²-9)

                                         = (-12m) / (4m²-9)

Now this equet to 1

(-12m) / (4m²-9) = 1

-12m =  4m²-9

4m²+ 12m -9 =0 ⇒⇒⇒ This is a quadratic equation that has 2 real solutions.

4m²+ 12m -9 =0

m² + 3m + (3/2)²= 9/4 + 9/4

(m + 3/2)² = 18/4

m = √18/2 - 3/2                or m = -√18/2 - 3/2

    = 0.621                                       = -3.621

So we can say that the equation has NO extraneous solutions.

Dmitry [639]

You can work out the percentage change and that would help you work out the rate of appreciation :)

The formula is ((new value - old value)/old value) * 100.

So you do \frac{270,000 - 250,000}{250,000} \times 100 = 8\%

Therefore the rate of appreciation is 8% p/a.

What is the greatest common factors of 60w,34w^2,and 24w^4
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 2w

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor could also be referred to as the Highest common factor. Now

60w, 34w² and 24w⁴

Now let concert each to its factors

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × w

34w² = 2 × 17 × w × w

24w⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × w × w × w × w

Therefore H.C.F or the greatest common factor

G.C.F = 2 × w

= 2w
