Oldest = 2x
Middle = x + 5
Youngest = x

2x + x + 5 + x = 57
combine like terms

4x + 5 = 57
subtract 5 from both sides

4x = 52
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

x = 13

Oldest = 2x = 2(13) = 26
Middle = x + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Youngest = x = 13

How many trucks carried only late variety?
murzikaleks [220]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • late only: 15
  • extra-late only: 24
  • one type: 43
  • total trucks: 105

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well when making a Venn diagram to start in the middle (6 carried all three), then work out.

For example, if 10 carried early and extra-late, then only 10-6 = 4 of those trucks carried just early and extra-late.

Similarly, if 30 carried early and late, and 4 more carried only early and extra-late, then 38-30-4 = 4 carried only early. In the attached, the "only" numbers for a single type are circled, to differentiate them from the "total" numbers for that type.

__

a) 15 trucks carried only late

b) 24 trucks carried only extra late

c) 4+15+24 = 43 trucks carried only one type

d) 38+67+56 -30-28-10 +6 +6 = 105 trucks in all went out

C(x) = -5x^2+x<br> Find c(4)
Alchen [17]

Answer:

c(4) = -76

Step-by-step explanation:

c(x) x=4 so plug 4 in for x

-5(4)² + (4)

Do parentheses first so... 4² = 16

-5(16) + 4

-5(16) = -80

-80+4 = -76

c(4) = -76
