Answer:

Present age of john= 24 years

Let Shane's age= x years

Two years ago

John's age = 24-2= 22 years

Shane's age = (x-2) years

Writing in terms of equation,to the above statements

⇒22= 2(x-2)

⇒22= 2 x- 4

⇒22+4 = 2 x

⇒ 2 x= 26

⇒ x= 26÷2

⇒ x =13

Present age of son = 13 years

If a paper plane is thrown from the top of a 147-foot cliff into the water below, the height of the plane at any given time can

sasho [114]

Answer:

c. 6.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a a paper plane is thrown from the top of a 147-foot cliff into the water below, the height of the plane at any given time can be determined by the formula $h = -3t^2+147$ , where h is the height of the plane at t seconds.

To find the time, when plane will be at a height of exactly 20.25 feet, we will substitute $h=20.25$ in our given formula and solve for t as:

$20.25= -3t^2+147$

$-3t^2+147=20.25$

$-3t^2+147-147=20.25-147$

$-3t^2=-126.75$

$\frac{-3t^2}{-3}=\frac{-126.75}{-3}$

$t^2=42.25$

Take square root of both sides:

$t=\pm \sqrt{42.25}$

$t=\pm 6.5$

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, the plane will be at a height of exactly 20.25 feet after 6.5 seconds and option 'c' is the correct choice.

Answer:

No, Isiah is not correct. The GCF of the coefficients is 1, and there are no common variables among all three terms of the polynomial. 5b4 is a factor of -25a2b5 and -35b4, but not a3. Additionally, a2 is a factor of a3 and -25a2b5, but not -35b4

A truck rental company rents a truck for a one-time fee of $25 plus $1.50 per mile traveled. Kelly has $80 she can spend on the

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The greatest number of miles that she can travel is 36(2/3) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

m=miles

25+1.50m ≤ 80

1.5 m ≤ 55

m ≤ 36.66666......

m ≤ 36 (6/9)

m ≤ 36(2/3)

A line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 3 what is the x-intercept of the line a-9 b-1 c1 d9

alexandr402 [8]

Hello :)

In order to find the x-intercept of a line substitute 0 into the y & solve for x

Since the line has a slope of -3 and a y intercept of 3 the equation would look like this:

y= -3x+3

Now we substitute 0 into the y & solve for x

0 = - 3x + 3

+3x +3x

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{3}{3}$

x=1

The answer here would be c) 1
