Let janes age be x 
let Harvey's age be 3x (as three times old as jane)
x+3x=48
4x=48
x=48/4
there fore x= 12
janes age= 12 
Harvey's age = 3x
                     =3*12
                     =36

Ebi, Jose, Derell, and Asami measured their heights. Ebi's height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height. Jose's height was 3.1 c
irga5000 [103]
Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height

Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a

Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height

j + 2.5 = e

Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's

d + 3.1 = j

Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height

a - 0.4 = d

Ebi is 162.5 cm tall

e = 162.5

So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e

j + 2.5 = e

j + 2.5 = 162.5

Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

j = 160 cm

Jose's height is 160 cm

Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j

d + 3.1 = j

d + 3.1 = 160

Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation 

d = 156.9 cm

Derell's height 156.9 cm

so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d

a - 0.4 = d

a - 0.4 = 156.9

Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation

a = 157.3 cm

Asami's height is 157.3 cm

The potential energy, P, in a spring is represented using the formula P = P equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction k x square
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Which equation should she use?

we have the formula

P=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Solve for k

That means ----> isolate the variable k

Multiply by 2 both sides

2P=kx^{2}

Divide by x^2 both sides

\frac{2P}{x^{2}}=k

Rewrite

k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}
