Mary is 5 Times as old as Morgan and the sum of their ages is 72.how old is each person

Mathematics

Let Morgan = X

Then Mary = 5X ( 5 times as old).


The sum is 72, so 5x +x = 72

5x +x = 6x:

6x = 72

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 72 / 6

x = 12

Morgan is 12 years old.

Mary is 5(12) = 60 years old.

(1k)³+(2k)³+(3k)³=4500
--> k³(36)= 4500
--> k = 5


Hence, the numbers are: 5,10 and 15 respectively

Evaluate ( f/g)(x) if f(x) = 2x and g(x) = 3x – 2 when x = 2.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f/g)(x)

= \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

= \frac{2x}{3x-2} ← substitute x = 2 into the expression

= \frac{2(2)}{3(2)-2}

= \frac{4}{6-2}

= \frac{4}{4}

= 1
