Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

The quantity demanded x for a certain brand of MP3 players is 100 units when the unit price p is set at $80. The quantity demand
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:p = (2100 - x)/25

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of demand, when the price,p of the brand of MP3 players is is high, the quantity,x of the brand of MP3 players demanded would be low and when the price,p of the brand of MP3 players is is low, the quantity,x of the brand of MP3 players demanded would be high.

To derive the demand equation, we would apply the slope intercept form of equation which is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept

The slope, m would be

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Slope = (1100 - 100)/(40 - 80) = 1000/-40

Slope = - 25

To find the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 25, y = 1100 and x = 40 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1100 = - 25 × 40 + c

1100 = - 1000 + c

c = 1100 + 1000 = 2100

y = - 25x + 2100

Therefore, the demand equation is

x = - 25p + 2100

25p = 2100 - x

p = (2100 - x)/25

120.

To find out how much gas he is using per day, you can use 75/5 which comes to 15. Then multiplying 15 with the 8 days, you get a sum of 120.

What is the slope of the line in the graph?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The slope of the line in the graph is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is determined by rise over run. Meaning that the number of units the slope goes up/down divided by the number of units the slope goes to the left/right is the slope. The rise is one, and the run is one. 1 over 1 equals 1.

Martin is seating people in the cars of a roller coaster. Each car can seat 8 people. Six of the roller coaster cars are yellow
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The probability is 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that the first person will sit in a yellow roller coaster car

The number of cars to select from is 6 + 9 = 15 cars

The number of yellow cars is 6

So the probability that the first person selects a yellow roller coaster car to seat is 6/15 = 2/5
