Let the coords of K be (x,y).
The midpoint is the average of the coords of the endpoint. So 8=(5+x)/2, making x=11. And 5=(-6+y)/2 making y=16.
So K is (11,16).
Answer:
<h3>13 years</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Alicia be x
Let the present age of her brother be y
Three years ago;
Alicia age = x - 3
Her brother's age = y - 3
If three years ago Alicia was twice as old as her brother Carlos, then;
X - 3 = 2(Y-3)
x-3 = 2y - 6
x = 2y - 3 ...1
In two years time;
Alicias age = x+2
Her brother's age = y +2
If in two more years Alicia will be just 50% older than Carlos, then;
x+2 = y + 2 + (0.5(y+2))
x+2 = y+2 + 0.5y + 1
x+2 = 1.5y+3
x = 1.5y + 1 ...2
Equating 1 and 2;
2y - 3 = 1.5y + 1
2y - 1.5y = 1+3
0.5y = 4
y = 4/0.5
y = 8
Since x = 2y-3
x = 2(8) - 3
x = 16-3
x = 13
Hence Alicia will be 13 years old today
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Order of operations, use the operation within the parenthesis:</u>
<u>Distributive property, a(b + c) = ab + ac:</u>
- 1) 4*5 - 4*2 = 20 - 8
- 2) 20 - 8 = 12
Both ways are correct and lead to same result
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You haven't stated a problem. Do you want to add the fractions together? Subtract them?
Least common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40.
1/8 = 5/40
9/5 = 72/40
1/8 + 9/5 = 5/40 + 72/40 = 77/40 = 1 37/40
