<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>
1500
600 per hour
It starts at 1500 and then after one hour
It go up to 2,100 then 2700
Answer:
EG = 16 and FH =22
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
so 2a = 3b+2
and 2a+3 = 6b-1
We know have a system of equations to solve
2a = 3b+2
2a+3 = 6b-1
Subtract 3 from each side
2a+3-3 = 6b-1-3
2a = 6b -4
Now we can set the 2 equations equal ( 2a = 3b+2 and 2a = 6b -4)
3b+2 = 6b-4
Subtract 3b from each side
3b-3b+2 = 6b-3b-4
2 = 3b-4
Add 4 to each side
2+4 = 3b-4+4
6 = 3b
Divide by 3
6/3 = 3b/3
2 =b
We want to find a
2a = 3b+2
Substitute in b=2
2a = 3(2) + 2
2a = 6+2
2a =8
Divide by 2
2a/2 =8/2
a = 4
Now that we know a and b
EG = 2a + 3b+2
= 2(4) + 3(2)+2
= 8+6+2
= 16
FH = 2a+3 + 6b-1
= 2(4) +3 +6(2)-1
= 8+3+12-1
= 23-1
= 22
Answer:
<u>The semi-trailer truck has the fastest average speed</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that the formula of the average speed is:
Average speed = Distance/Speed
Now, we can calculate the average speed for each class of vehicle, as follows:
Flatbed truck average speed = 144/5 = 28.8 miles per hour
<u>Semi-trailer truck average speed = 327/4 = 81.75 miles per hour</u>
Tanker truck average speed = 589/15 = 39.27 miles per hour
Which truck has the fastest average speed?
<u>The semi-trailer truck has the fastest average speed</u>
Answer:
-1/4 (2x - 5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
For us to factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y
We will have to multiply the values in bracket by the reciprocal of -1/4 i.e -4 as shown
-1/2x - 5/4 y
= -1/4 (-4(-1/2x) - (-4)(-5/4y))
= -1/4 (4/2 x - 20/4 y)
= -1/4 (2x - 5y)
Hence the factored expression is -1/4 (2x - 5y)
