Answer:

9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

the average age of 3 people is 27

x / 3 = 27.....x = 27 * 3.....x = 81......this means that the total of their ages is 81.

their ages are in the proportion of 1:3:5....added = 9

this means that the first person is 1/9 of the total ages..

the second person is 3/9 of the total ages

the third person is 5/9 of the total ages

person 1 : 1/9 of 81 = 81/9 = 9 years old <==== this is the youngest

person 2 : 3/9 of 81 = 243/9 = 27 years old

person 3 : 5/9 of 81 = 405/9 = 45 years old

Antonio is building a 1:240 scale model of a real castle. His model has a rectangular base that is 2.5 feet wide and 2 feet long
34kurt
The right approach to this problem is to first determine the real dimension by using the given scale factor. 
    width :     (2.5 ft) x 250 = 625 ft
    length:     (2.0 ft) x 250 = 500 ft
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and the width. 
                    A = (625 ft)(500 ft) ]= 312,500 ft²
Thus, the area of the actual castle in square feet is 312,500.

Answer:

D) LM=12; QP=8

Step-by-step explanation:

12/18=(x-1)/(x+3)

cross multiply

12x+36=18x-18

36+18=18x-12x

54=6x

9=x

LM = x+3 = 9+3 = 12

QP = x-1 = 9-1 = 8

How can I isolate x in y=6x-2x²
ozzi

Answer:

x = 3/2 ± √(9/4 − 1/2 y)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 6x − 2x²

First, factor out the leading coefficient:

y = -2 (x² − 3x)

Complete the square.

y = -2 (x² − 3x + 9/4 − 9/4)

y = -2 (x² − 3x + 9/4) + 9/2

y = -2 (x − 3/2)² + 9/2

Solve for x.

-1/2 y = (x − 3/2)² − 9/4

9/4 − 1/2 y = (x − 3/2)²

±√(9/4 − 1/2 y) = x − 3/2

x = 3/2 ± √(9/4 − 1/2 y)
