Enny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x

+ 2x + 5 = 62, where x is Jenny’s age.
Plug in the values from the set {12, 15, 18, 19} to find the value of x. The value that holds true for the equation is . So, Jenny is years old and her mother is years old.

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set:

x=12

x+2x+5=62

12+2*12+5=62

12+24+5=62

41=62

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set:

x=15

x+2x+5=62

15+2*15+5=62

15+30+5=62

50=62

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set:

x=18

x+2x+5=62

18+2*18+5=62

18+36+5=62

=59

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set:

x=19

x+2x+5=62

19+2*19+5=62

19+38+5=62

62=62

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation:

x+y=62

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Replacing the Jenny´s age we have:

19+y=62

Solving for y:

y=62-19

y=43

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62 
      -5      -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3     /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62.  Jenny is 19 years old.  Hope this helped.

write an equation of the line containing the specified point and perpendicular to indicated line. (-5,6) 4x-y=3

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to rearrange the equation to make it y = mx + c

4x - y = 3

y + 3 = 4x

y = 4x -3

So the slope of the line is 4.

The slope of a line perpendicular to an equation is:

\frac{-1}{gradient}

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

\frac{-1}{4} = -0.25

Now to find the equation of a line you can use the following equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where y₁ is the y-coordinate, x₁ is the x-coordinate and m is the gradient. Plug the values in:

y₁ = 6

x₁ = -5

m = \frac{-1}{4}

y - 6 = \frac{-1}{4}(x - - 5)

To get rid of the fraction we need to multiply the whole equation by 4:

4y - 24 = -1(x - - 5)

The two negatives cancel out:

4y - 24 = -1(x + 5)

Multiply the brackets out:

4y - 24 = -x + 5

Now, to rearrange the formula back into y = mx + c

Move the -24 over to the other side making it a +24:

4y = 2x + 5 + 24

4y = 2x + 29

Divide everything by 4:

y = \frac{2}{4}x + \frac{29}{4}

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

Since we know what one side is, there is another side equal to how that side looks like. So, the long sides are 16.5 + 16.5 = 33. Therefore, (39.4 - 33) / 2 will get you your answer.

Bryan has quarters and nickels in his piggy bank. He has three times as many nickels as he has quarters. If the total value of t
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Quarters , q = 25 cent

Nickel, n = 5 cent

3 times as many nickels as quarters;

n = 3q

Total value of coins = $12

n + q = $12

0.05n + 0.25q = 12

0.05(3q) + 0.25q = 12

0.15q + 0.25q = 12

0.40q = 12

q = 12 / 0.40

q = 30

n = 3q

n = 3(30)

n = 90

90 nickels
