A is 5 years older than T. In 3 years, T will be 2/3 A age. How old is A?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

T + 5 = A

Therefore T =A - 5

In three years T = 3+ (A-5)

thus T = A - 2

Also in three years T = 2/3 (A+3)

Equating the two

A -2 = 2/3 (A+3)

3A - 6 = 2A + 6

3A - 2A = 6 + 6

Therefore A = 12

A sandbox in the shape of a rectangular prism is 2 feet deep and 6 feet wide. Filled to the top it can hold 72 cubic feet of san

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

height=6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

-The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

$V=lwh$

#We make h the subject of the formula the solve for it:

$V=lwh\\\\\frac{V}{lw}=h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{V}{lw}$

#Substitute to solve for height:

$h=\frac{V}{lw}\\\\=\frac{72}{2\times 6}\\\\=6\ ft$

Hence, the prism has a height of 6 ft.

A student solves the following equation for all possible values of x:

bekas [8.4K]

The correct answer is: 
C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

Explanation: 
To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: 
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).

Using the distributive property, we have 
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.

Add 32 to each side: 
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.

Divide both sides by 6:
 $\frac{6x}{6}$ = $\frac{36}{6}$ ;
x=6.

Extraneous solutions are solutions that come about in the problem but are not valid solutions to the problem; the only values of x that would give this sort of answer are -2 and 4, since these are the two values that would make one of the denominators 0 (we cannot divide by 0).
