Melanie: 15 years old
Kevin: 5 years old
Assume Kevin's present age is x.
That means that 3 years ago, his age would be x - 3.
Melanie's age would be 6(x - 3).
Same thing for 5 years into the future:
Kevin's age would be x + 5.
Melanie's age would be 2(x + 5).
The two equations we have here are:
By subtracting both equations, we are simplified to:
8 = -4x + 28
By solving the equation, we get x = 5.
That means that Kevin's current age is 5 years old.
Melanie's age could be calculated by substituting Kevins'.
6(x - 3) --> 6(5 - 3) --> 12
Since that was 3 years ago, you need to add 3 to 12 to get her current age.
12 + 3 = 15
Melanie's current age is 15 years old.
Answer:
A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
height = 5b-2
b =x
We can rewrite the height as
h = 5x-2
We know the formula for area of a triangle
A = 1/2 bh
A =1/2 x * (5x-2)
Distributing the x
A= 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
We know A =12
12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
Multiply each side by 2
12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
24 = 5x^2 - 2x
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24
0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24
Answer:
x = y = 2√2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
To get the unknown side x and y, we need to use the SOH CAH TOA identity
Opposite side = x
Adjacent = y
Hypotenuse = 4
Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 45 = x/4
x = 4 sin 45
x = 4 * 1/√2
x = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
x = 4 * √2/√4
x = 4 * √2/2
x = 2√2
Similarly;
cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 45 = y/4
y = 4cos45
y = 4 * 1/√2
y = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
y = 4 * √2/√4
y = 4 * √2/2
y = 2√2
You would do 3x60=180 since there is 60 minutes in each hour then dives 180 and 20 which gives you 9 batches of cookies. Hope this helps!
Set it up as a fraction:
8kg = 10kg
24N ?N
cross multiply
8x=240
x=30N
