Answer:

1 : 12 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl = C

George = G

Alex = A

A = 12 + G , G = A - 12

C = 3 * A

C + G + A = 68

Substitute new values for G and C into equation

3 * A + A - 12 + A = 68

5A - 12 = 68

Add 12 to both sides of the equation

5A = 80

A = 16

Alex is 16 years old

Carl is 48 years old

George is 4 years old

4 : 48 : 16

Simplify

2 : 24 : 8

Simplify further

1 : 12 : 4

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let George's age be x years

Alexis is (x+12)years

Carl is 3(x+12) years =(3x +36)years

Sum of their ages =68

x+x+12+3x+36=68

5x+48=68

5x=68-48=20

x=20/5= 4years

George is 4 years old

Alexis is 4+12 =16 years old

Carl is 3 times alexis age = 3×16= 48 years old

Ratio of George to Carl to Alex is 4:48:16

Reduce to lowest term since 4 can still go through

Ratio =1:12:4

Solve each equation by completing the square. n^2 - 6n + 6 = -2

Law Incorporation [45]

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

Separate the constant out of expression.

$( {n}^{2} - 6n) + 6 = - 2$

Find the constant that makes the expression able to be squared. You have to subtract the separated constant by new constant as well.

$( {n}^{2} - 6n + 9) + 6 - 9 = - 2 \\ {(n - 3)}^{2} - 3 = - 2 \\ {(n - 3)}^{2} = 1$

Square Root both sides to get rid the squared expression. Make sure to write plus or minus.

$\sqrt{ {(n - 3)}^{2} } = + \sqrt{1} \\ \sqrt{ {(n - 3)}^{2} } = - \sqrt{1} \\ n - 3 = 1 \\ n - 3 = - 1$

$n - 3 = 1 \: \: \: or \: \: \: n - 3 = - 1 \\ n = 1 + 3 \: \: \: or \: \: \: n = - 1 + 3 \\ n = 4 \: \: \: or \: \: \: n = 2$

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

$\large \boxed {n = 4,2}$

A truck cost $21,000.00 with an estimated salvage value of $1,000.00. It has an estimated useful life of 5 years. If the truck w

taurus [48]

Straight line depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation in each year.
Our Depreciation Base is 21,000 - 1,000 = 20,000
The useful life is 5 years, so each year we depreciate 20,000 ÷ 5 = 4,000

Book Value is Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
After Year 1:
Book Value = 21,000 - 4,000 = 17,000

Answer is A) 17,000

Latoya, Henry, and Manuel served a total of 112 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Latoya served 7 more orders than Henry. M

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Henry: 21

Latoya: 28

Manuel = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

x = orders henry served

x + 7 = orders latoya served

3x = orders manuel served

x + (x + 7) + 3x = 112

5x + 7 = 112

5x = 105

x = 21

x + 7 = 21 + 7 = 28

3x = 3 * 21 = 63

Ben is reading a book. Rounded to the nearest ten, he reads 150 pages. What is the least number of pages he could read?

Semenov [28]

145 pages because 145 would round up to 150 but anything below 145 would round to 140
