So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27

so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100  so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48


Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995

hammer [34]

Answer:

Sally has been measuring the tree for 4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Sally has been measuring the tree in her yard for a science project. The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and grown a total of 2 inches taller. How many months has Sally been measuring this tree?

.........................................................................................

Solution;

The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and has grown a total of 2 inch taller.

We now need to know the number of months in which the measuring has been taking place.

To know the number of months, we simply need to divide the change in height which is 2 inch by the individual month growth rate which is 1/2 inch

So mathematically, that would be 2/1/2 = 2 * 2 = 4 months

Suppose sin(A) = 1/4. use the trig identity sin^2(A)+cos^2(A)=1 to find cos(A) in quadrant II. around to ten-thousandth.
larisa86 [58]

In quadrant II, \cos(A) will be negative. So

\sin^2(A) + \cos^2(A) = 1 \implies \cos(A) = -\sqrt{1 - \sin^2(A)} = -\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}4 \approx \boxed{-0.9682}
