Answer: girls=20, sister=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)

Let 2x= the girl's age (present)

-------------------------------------------------------------

According to the question

(x+5)(2x+5)=375

Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)

2x²+5x+10x+25=375

Combine like term (5x and 10x)

2x²+15x+25=375

Subtract 375 on both sides

2x²+15x+25-375=375-375

2x²+15x-350=0

Find the factors (cross factor)

(x-10)(x+17.5)=0

x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative

the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.

X+3y=9. graph using slope and y-intercept
timama [110]
Well, in order to first determine the slope or y-intercept, you must put change the equation to this format: y=mx+b.
m=slope and b=y-intercept
I
in order to do that, you must change this equation.

x+3y=9

-x     -x
----------
3y=9-x

Then, rewrite it as: 

3y=-x+9
_______
3      3

simplify to  

y=-x/3 +9

A tree is 58 inches tall. how tall is it in feet and inches
mart [117]
A foot is 12 inches.
12 can go into 58 evenly 4 times, since 12• 4 equals 48 but 12 • 5 equals 60. This means that the tree is at least 4 feet. Then to find the leftover inches we do 58-48 equals 10, therefore the answer is 58 inches translates to 4 feet and 10 inches.

Help me please (no links please)
stich3 [128]

a) This part is already complete I think..

b) This is a cuboid and lateral surface area of cuboid is: 2(lb +bh + hl)

= 2( 10 × 3 + 3 × 7 + 7 × 10)

= 2(30 + 21 + 70)

= 2 × 121 = 242 cm²

Now, the area of top & bottom: lb

= 2 × 10 × 3

= 60 cm²

Neglecting the top & bottom surface area of cuboid:

= 242 - 60

= 180 cm²

c) The total surface area us 242.. I have already done that part above...
