Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 22 since it says that there ages combined is greater than 60, not equal to 60.

21+20+19= 60, so the youngest age the oldest brother could be is 22 since

22+21+20= 63 which is greater than 60, not equal to 60.

Answer:

The age of the oldest brother must be greater than 21 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x, x+1 and x+2 -----> the ages of the brothers

we know that

The sum of their ages must be greater than 60

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

$x+(x+1)+(x+2) > 60$

Solve for x

Combine like terms

$3x+3 > 60$

Subtract 3 both sides

$3x > 60-3$

$3x > 57$

Divide by 3 both sides

$x > 19$

so

if $x > 19$

$x+1 >20\ years\\x+2 > 21\ years$

therefore

The age of the oldest brother must be greater than 21 years

I built a storage shed in the shape of a rectangular box on a square base. The material that I used for the base cost $4 per squ

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$V = \frac{450L - 6 L^{3} }{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid can be determined simply by the formula: V= LWH

(where: L is length, H is height and W is width).

In this particular case the base is a square, which means the length and width are equal. Hence we can modify the equation of volume:

$V = L^{2} H$

Now we need to find the value of H in terms of L. For this we can develop the equation for cost incurred in building the storage shed. We find the area of each side of the cuboid, and then we multiply it by cost per square feet to find the total cost incurred; as shown below:

<u>Area:</u>

Base: $L$ × $L = L^{2}$

Roof: $L$ × $L = L^{2}$

Side: $4 H$ × $L = 4HL$ (we have considered all four sides)

<u>Cost:</u>

Base: 4 $L^{2}$

Roof: 2 $L^{2}$

Side: $2.50 * 4HL = 10 HL$

Total cost:

4 $L^{2}$ + 2 $L^{2}$ + 10 $HL$ = 450

We simplify this equation further:

6 $L^2$ + 10<em>HL </em>= 450

10HL = 450 - 6 $L^2$

$H = \frac{450- 6 L^2}{10L}$

We now have the value of H, which we can substitute in the formula of Volume we deduced earlier:

substituting $H = \frac{450-6L}{10L}$ in $V = L^{2} H$ :

$V = L^2$ × $\frac{450 - 6L }{10L}$

Simplifying it further:

$V = L$ × $\frac{450 - 6L}{10}$

$V= \frac{450L - 6L^3}{10}$ is the final answer.

Will mark brainliest! Thanks ! and like if you can please explain it cuz I want to understand it to :)

Answer: F.) 7 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means completely equal in side lengths and angles. Think of this weird figure like 4 triangles that are see through and are covering a diamond underneath

Of those 4 "see through triangles", there are 3 equal to ΔABC

Now on the diamond underneath, there is another 4. Its hard to actually explain what I mean, but take two triangles from that dimaond. Theyre gonna be congruent to ΔABC.

That's 4 + 3 = 7 total triangles

Turn the information into coordinate points.

Point = (time, population)

Point 1 = (1985, 45000)
Point 2 = (2004 , 26000)

Find the slope between these points using the formula

( Slope)—> m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
26000-45000/2004-1985=-19000/19= -1000
Average rate of change is decrease of 1000 sea lion per year

I hope that helped
