Answer:

22

Sarah's age is best represented by M-24 or as the question used x-24 where the mother's age is best represented by M where the question used x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sarah (S) is 24 years younger than her mother (M).

So S=M-24.

We are given that Sarah (S) and her mom's age adds up to 68.

So S+M=68.

We are going to solve this system by substitution since one of the variables is solved for. I'm going to plug first equation into second like so:

(M-24)+M=68   I replaced S with M-24.

M+M-24=68      Put like terms together.

2M-24  =68       Combined the like terms.

2M      =  92      Added 24 on both sides.

 M      = 92/2    Divided 2 on both sides.

 M      = 46        Simplified the 92/2.

So her mother's age is 46.

We know that S=M-24 so S=46-24=22.

Sarah is 22 years old.

the pie factory sells an apple pie with a diameter of 16 in. for $10.99. What's the approximate cost per square inch of surface
AURORKA [14]
I'm going to assume the crust covered by the dosenot matter because the total surface area cannot be found without the depth of the pie.

So the surface are is the area of the top of the pie, the top of the pie is circular and is equal to 2\pir²

The diameter is the sum of 2 radii, hence r=8

D=12
  = 2r =12
r=8

With the raduis the area can be found
A= 2\pir²
A=2\pi8² 
A=2(64)\pi
A=128\pi

If the pie cost 10.99, the cost per inch can be found by dividing the area by cost

cost/inch =128 \pi/10.99
cost/inch =11.64\pi
               = 11.64(3.14)
               = 36.57

The pie costs 36 cents per square inch
