Given

Rob is twice Joshua's age

Nick is 5 years older than Joshua.

sum of all their ages is 45.

Find the age of nick.

To proof

As given

Rob is twice Joshua's age

let Joshua's age = x

than Rob age = 2x

Nick is 5 years older than Joshua.

Nick age = 5 + x

sum of all their ages is 45

than the equation becomes

Joshua's age + Rob age + Nick age = 45

put the value

x + 2x + 5 + x = 45

4x = 40

x = 10

Joshua's age = 10 year

than Rob age = 20 year

Nick age = 5 + 10

= 15year

Hence proved

If a theater holds 1800 and sells 1/3 of its seats how many tickets does it sell

kozerog [31]

Hey!

A theater holds 1,800 seats. It sells 1/3 of it. That means you have to find 1/3 of 1,800

$\frac{1800}{1} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1800}{3} = 600$

<em>That means the theater sells 600 seats.</em>

$\framebox{Answer = 600 seats}$

The following problem describes procedures that are to be applied to numbers. Repeat the procedure for four numbers of your choi

mart [117]

Answer:

Conjecture: For every number x, the result of the is 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

First Number: 8

Multiply by 88: $88 * 8 = 704$

Add 88: $704 + 88 = 792$

Divide by 44: $792/44 = 18$

Subtract 2: $18 - 2 = 16$

Second: 10

Multiply by 88: $88 * 10 = 880$

Add 88: $880+88=968$

Divide by 44: $968/44=22$

Subtract 2: $22-2=20$

Third: 5

Multiply by 88: $88*5 = 440$

Add 88: $440+88=528$

Divide by 44: $528/44=12$

Subtract 2: $12-2=10$

Fourth: 2

Multiply by 88: $88*2=176$

Add 88: $176+88=264$

Divide by 44: $264/44=6$

Subtract 2: $6-2=4$

On a general terms:

Let the number be x.

Multiply by 88: $88x$

Add 88: $88x + 88$

Divide by 44: $\frac{88x + 88}{44} = \frac{88x}{44} + \frac{88}{44} = 2x+2$

Subtract 2: $2x + 2 - 2 = 2x$

Notice that for every input x, the result is 2x

A spring exerts a force of 6 N when stretched 3 m beyond its natural length. How much work is required to stretch the spring 2 m

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

4Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provide that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

K is the elastic constant

e is the extension

If a spring exerts a force of 6 N when stretched 3 m beyond its natural length, its elastic constant 'k'

can be gotten using k = f/e where

F = 6N, e = 3m

K = 6N/3m

K = 2N/m

Work done on an elastic string is calculated using 1/2ke².

If the spring is stretched 2 m beyond its natural length, the work done on the spring will be;

1/2× 2× (2)²

= 4Joules
