Answer:

Adam is 9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and c represent Adam's and Alicia's ages.

d = c - 15, and

c + 6 = 2(d + 6)

Rearrange d = c - 15 as c = d + 15, and then substitute d + 15 for c in the second equation.  We obtain:

d + 15 + 6 = 2(d + 6), or

d + 21 = 2d + 12

Combining like terms, we get 21 = d + 12, or 9 = d.

If d = 9 then c = d + 15, or c = 9 + 15, or c = 24.

Adam is 9 years old.

Answer:

3)  1 5/6 mi

4)  a. 4 cm, 6 ft

    b. 6.4 cm, 9.6 ft

    c. same as part a

Step-by-step explanation:

3) Each of the given distances appears twice in the sum of side measures that is the perimeter. Hence by walking the perimeter twice, Kyle walks each of the given distances 4 times. His total walk is ...

  4×1/3 + 4×1/8 = 4/3 + 4/8

  = 1 1/3 + 1/2 = 1 2/6 + 3/6

  = 1 5/6 . . . . . miles

___

4) Since the figure is rectilinear (all angles are right angles, and all sides are straight lines), the sum of partial dimensions in one direction is equal to the whole dimension in that direction.

a. 8 cm = 4 cm + x

  8 cm - 4 cm = x = 4 cm

The distance in the room is ...

  (4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 6 ft

b. 10.3 cm = 3.9 cm + y

  10.3 cm - 3.9 cm = y = 6.4 cm

The distance in the room is ...

  (6.4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 9.6 ft

c. The answer to part b was obtained in the same way as the answer to part a.  The unknown dimension is the difference of given dimensions. The actual length in the room is the model length multiplied by the inverse of the scale factor.

PJ will begin her cake deliveries at 12:20 . She asked to remind her 30 minutes before she has to leave. What time should I remi
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

At 11:50  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract the hours and the minutes separately

12:  20

<u>- 0</u>: <u> 30</u>

12: -10

2. If the minutes are negative, subtract 1 from the hours and add 60 to the minutes.

12:    -10

<u> - 1</u>: <u>+ 60 </u>

11:   50

You should remind PJ about her deliveries at 11:50.

4. Match the polynomial in the left column with its descriptive feature in the
FromTheMoon [43]

Complete question is;

Match the polynomial in the left column with its descriptive feature in the

right column

A.) x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7

B.) 3a³ b ^(6)

C.) 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8)

D.) 7a³ b ² + 18ab² c – 9a³

E.) 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7)

F.) 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9

G.) x² − 7

I. 9th degree monomial

II. Constant term of −7

III. 7th degree polynomial

IV. Leading coefficient of 4

V. Four terms

VI. 5th degree polynomial

VII. Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

Answer:

A) For polynomial x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7 : Option V - 4 Terms

B) For polynomial 3a³ b ^(6) : option I - 9th degree monomial

C) For the polynomial 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8) : Option VII - Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

D) For the polynomial 7a³b² + 18ab²

c – 9a³ : Option VI - 5th degree polynomial.

E) For the polynomial 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7) : Option III - 7th degree polynomial.

F) for the polynomial 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9 : Option IV - Leading coefficient of 4

F) For the polynomial x² − 7 : Option II - Constant term of −7

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7 is Option V - 4 Terms

B) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 3a³ b ^(6) is option I - 9th degree monomial. This is because the sum of the powers of a and b is 9.

C) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8) is Option VII - Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

D) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 7a³ b ² + 18ab² c – 9a³ is Option VI - 5th degree polynomial. This is because the highest sum of powers attached to a and b in a figure is 2 + 3 = 5.

E) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7) is Option III - 7th degree polynomial. This is because the highest power of x is 7.

F) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9 is Option IV: Leading coefficient of 4. This is because the coefficient attached to the largest power of x is 4.

G) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial

x² − 7 is Option II - Constant term of −7
