Lan is 146 centimeters tall now.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Let, Lan's current height is h centimeters

As Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than Lan and Lan is 10 centimeters taller than Jim, so Lisa's current height = (h+6) centimeters and Jim's current height = (h-10) centimeters.

Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters.

So, after 5 months.....

Lan's height = h+(2*5)=(h+10) centimeters,

Lisa's height = (h+6)+(2*5)= (h+16) centimeters and

Jim's height = (h-10)+(2*5)= h centimeters

Given that, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height in 5 months. So the equation will be....

(h+10)+h= (h+16)+140\\ \\ 2h+10=h+156\\ \\ 2h-h=156-10\\ \\ h=146

So, the current height of Lan is 146 centimeters.

Why is the percent increase from 45 to 75 not equal to the percent decrease from 75 to 45? Select three
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

For me the answer is

The ratio for the percent increase has a smaller denominator than the percent decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 45 to 75, the increase is 30

If we check the % increased, (30/45)*100 = 66.667%

If we decrease the price from 75 to 45, the amount is same, i.e. 30 but the denominator is changed.

(30/75)*100 = 40%

It's is the first answer. Move the 14 to the right making it -14. Then add 50 to each side. Make it (x+7)^2(y+1)^2=36. So x is -7, y=-1 and the radius is 36.
