Addison is 3 times as old as Bailey, and Bailey is 2.5 times as old as Christopher. If the sum of their ages is 66 , how old is
stepan [7]

Answer:

6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the information given in words as equations. Use variables to represent the people:

let A be Addison's age

let B be Bailey's age

let C be Christopher's age

A = 3B          (Addison is 3 times as old as Bailey)

B = 2.5C          (Bailey is 2.5 times as old as Christopher)

A + B + C = 66        (the sum of their ages is 66) (sum means addition)

Start with the equation for the sum of their ages (A + B + C = 66). You have other equations that can replace the variables in this equation.

A + B + C = 66

(3B) + B + C = 66        Replace A with 3B (because A = 3B)

4B + C = 66        Collect like terms (3B + B = 4B)

4(2.5C) + C = 66        Replace B with 2.5C (because B = 2.5C)

10C + C = 66        Collect like terms (10C + C = 11C)

11C = 66          Isolate "C"

11C/11 = 66/11          Divide both sides by 11 to cancel out 11 on the left side.

C = 6        Christopher's Age

Therefore Christopher is 6 years old.

Reactant A can participate in both of these reactions:
user100 [1]
The activation energy is the amount of energy required to initiate a certain reaction. The activation energy may considered as an "energy barrier" that has to be overcome in order for a reaction to begin. If a reaction has a lower activation energy, then it will occur more easily and at a faster rate than a reaction with a higher activation energy. Therefore, the reason that reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2 is because it has a lower activation energy than reaction 2.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,1) and has a slope of 1/6?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y - 1 = 1/6x + 1 <<< Point slope form

y = 1/6x + 2 <<< slope intercept form

Either one works unless the question specifies the form of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Given: (-6,1) ; m = 1/6

(y - 1) = 1/6(x - (-6))

y - 1 = 1/6x + 1 <<< Point slope form

y = 1/6x + 2 <<< slope intercept form: y = mx + b
