Answer:

Joe is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by creating two different equations, one for each fact that we know about their ages.

Say that J is Joe's age

Say that T is Tim's age

Our first equation would then be:

4J + 2T = 50

J - 2 = T

Now that we know that T is J - 2, we can plug that in to the first equation.

4J + 2(J - 2) = 50

We can simplify this equation to solve for J

4J + 2J - 4 = 50

6J = 54

J = 9

Joe is 9 years old

loris [4]

Answer:

a) dm/dt = 0.2m

b) ln(m) = 0.2t + A

c) ln(m) = 0.2t + ln(20) - 0.6

d) 11 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

a) dm/dt = 0.2m

b) dm/m = 0.2dt

ln(m) = 0.2t + A

c) At t = 3, dm/dt = 4

dm/dt = 0.2m

4 = 0.2m

m = 4/0.2 = 20

So, when t = 3, m = 20

ln(20) =0.2(3) + A

A = ln(20) - 0.6

ln(m) = 0.2t + ln(20) - 0.6

d) find m when t=0

ln(m) = 0.2(0) + ln(20) - 0.6

ln(m) = ln(20) - 0.6

ln(m) = 2.3957322736

m = e^2.3957322736

m = 10.9762327224

m = 11
