Ages of Dan and Cary are 29 and 33 respectively.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Form equations out of the given details. Let the age of Dan be x, then age of Cary is x + 4.

In 7 years, sum of their ages = 76

⇒ (x + 7) + (x + 4 + 7) = 76

⇒ 2x + 18 = 76

⇒ 2x = 58

⇒ x = 29

Step 2:

Calculate age of Cary.

⇒ x + 4 = 33

To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of in
erastova [34]

Answer: x= 187.5p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An equation relating packets to bytes of information : b = 1,500p where<em> p</em> represents the number of packets and <em>b</em> represents the number of bytes of information.

1 byte = 8 bits

Let x= Number of bits such that 1 b = 8x

Put b = 8x in given equation , we get

8x=1500p

Divide both sides by 8 , we get

x= 187.5p

Hence, the equation represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits : x= 187.5p

Reason is the value of the first 5 ten times as great as the value of the second 5 in 5045?
vovikov84 [41]

It is not. In the decimal system each column to the right is valued at powers of ten starting at zero and increasing as you move to the left...in a four digit number...the columns are valued at...

10^3, 10^2, 10^1, 10^0 which corresponds to...

1000, 1000, 10, 1 in this case the first digit is equal to

5(1000)=5000 the value of the last digit is 5(1)=5

So the first 5 is 1000 times as great as the second 5...

Hope this helps!

How to write an equation for the line perpendiculer and trhough the given ppoint?
valentinak56 [21]
A method that always works is to find the slope of the given line, then find the negative reciprocal of that. Your result will be the slope of the perpendicular line. Using this slope and the given point, fill in the parameters of the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

For m = slope of given line and (h, k) = given point, the perpendicular line will be
  y = (-1/m)(x -h) +k

Often, this equation can be simplified to another appropriate form, such as slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) or standard form (ax+by=c).

_____
The slope of a given line can be found by solving its equation for y. The slope is the coefficient of x in that solution. If the given line is characterized by two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then its slope is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

In the unusual case where the given line is vertical (x=<some constant>), the slope of the perpendicular line is zero, and the line you want becomes y=k.

In a certain​ fraction, the denominator is less 7 than the numerator. If 3 is added to both the numerator and​ denominator, the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

original fraction =12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = numerator

therefore

   x+3/x-7+3 =15/8

    x+3/x-4 =15/8

      8(x+3)=15(x-4)

      8x+24=15x-60

       84=7x

        84/7=x

        12=x

therefore original fraction = 12/5
