Answer:

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4

Step-by-step explanation:

if Ruth is x, esmerelda is 5x,

four years ago,

Ruth is x+4,  esmerelda is 5x+4,  depend on the sum, we get:

x+4+5x+4=22, x=7/3

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ANSWER THIS
postnew [5]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a.y^{3} +3y^{2} -3 ) = (ay^{2} +(4a+3)y +4(4a+3))(y-4) +64a+45

so A = 64a +45

(2y^{3} -5y+a =(2y^{2} +8y +27)(y-4) +108 +a

so B = 108 +a

2A-B=0--> 2(64a+45)-108-a=0--> a =18/127

The cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic. If a company picnic costs $487.50
Drupady [299]

The company picnic cost $ 1300 for 80 employees

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic

Let "c" be the company picnic cost

Let "n" be the number of employees attending the picnic

Therefore,

cost \propto \text{ number of employees attending picnic }

c \propto n\\\\c = kn

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality

c = kn ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>Given that company picnic costs $487.50 for 30 employees</u></em>

Therefore substitute c = 487.50 and n = 30

487.50 = k(30)\\\\k = \frac{487.50}{30} = 16.25

<em><u>How much does a company picnic cost for 80 employees?</u></em>

Substitute n = 80 and k = 16.25 in eqn 1

c = 16.25(80) = 1300

Thus $ 1300 is the cost for 80 employees
