Sally is 45 and Beth is 15.

45 + 15 = 60

15*3 = 45

Answer: Present age of Beth is 24 years.

And Present age of Sally becomes 36 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Beth be 'x'.

Six years ago,

Age of Beth becomes (x-6) years

Age of Sally becomes

3(x-6)\ yrs

Sum of Sally and Beth's age = 60

According to question, it becomes

x-6+3(x-6)=60+6+6\\\\x-6+3x-18=72\\\\4x-24=72\\\\4x=72+24\\\\4x=96\\\\x=\frac{96}{4}=24\ yrs

So, Present age of Beth is 24 years.

And Present age of Sally becomes 60-24=36 years.

How do you factor 7b^2-63b+140?
LuckyWell [14K]
You can simplify the entire equation by dividing it all by 7, resulting in 7(b^2-6b+20). 

Here, you can factor as you normally would. Your X values would have to be found using the quadratic formula.

If one diagonal of a rhombus is 15 meters long and it’s area is 157.5 square meters, find the measures of the other diagonal
ycow [4]

Answer:

The other diagonal measures 21m

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the length of the second diagonal of as Rhombus given the measure of the surface area of the rhombus and the length of the other diagonal

Mathematically, for a rhombus having two diagonals d_{1} and d_{2} , the area of the rhombus can be calculated mathematically using the formula below;

A = 1/2 ×d_{1} × d_{2}

From the question, we can identify that A = 157.5m^{2} and d_{1} = 15m

we input these in the formula;

157.5 = 1/2 × 15 × d_{2}

315 = 15 d_{2}

d_{2} = 315/15

d_{2} = 21m

A high-altitude spherical weather balloon expands as it rises, due to the drop in atmospheric pressure. Suppose that the radius
lord [1]
The increase of the radius is a linear increase since we have the constant rate of 0.07 inches per second

The equation for a linear growth/decay is given by the form y=mx+c where m is the rate of increase and c is the value of y when x=0

We have 
m = 0.07 
c=36 when t=0

So the equation is r=0.07t+36

The length of the radius when t=400 seconds is
r=0.07(400)+36
r=64 inches

OK my paper says the numerical expression 5+12 represent the sum of 5 and 12. I don't understand
Afina-wow [57]
That literally means the numbers '5' and '12' written like this: 5 + 12

represent the sum of 5 and 12, which is the same as 5 + 12 (because the sum is when all the numbers are added up).

So it's saying 5 + 12 equals to 17. 

Do you get it?
