⦁ Kim's age is twice that of her sister. When you add Kim's age to her sister's age, you get 24. How old is each sister?

Answer:

Kim is 16 years old and her sister is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equations to represent this scenario.

Let Kim's age be 'k' and her sister's age be 's'.

Thus, k=2s (since Kim's age is double of her sister)

and k+s=24 (their ages add to 24 (from question)

Substituting the first equation:

2s+s=24

3s=24

s=8

Therefore, Kim's sister is 8 years old.

Now substitute this value into the second equation:

k+8=24

k=16

Therefore, Kim is 16 years old.

Helpppp: Find the area of the figure.
zavuch27 [327]

Step-by-step explanation:

in such cases we always try to split the complex figure into non-overlapping simple figures, calculate their areas and add them up.

what simple figures can we see here ?

I see a rectangle 80m × 130m.

and that leaves for me a right-angled triangle in the upper right corner with the legs of

250-80 = 170 m and 130-50 = 80 m

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

the area of a right-angled triangle is

leg1 × leg2 / 2

the individual areas are

80×130 = 10,400 m²

170×80/2 = 170×40 = 6,800 m²

and that gives us a total for the whole area

10400 + 6800 = 17,200 m²

(4). Simplifying polynomials, help pls:) brainliest involved
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

To simplify a polynomial, we have to do two things: 1) combine like terms, and 2) rearrange the terms so that they're written in descending order of exponent.

First, we combine like terms, which requires us to identify the terms that can be added or subtracted from each other. Like terms always have the same variable (with the same exponent) attached to them. For example, you can add 1 "x-squared" to 2 "x-squareds" and get 3 "x-squareds", but 1 "x-squared" plus an "x" can't be combined because they're not like terms.

Let's identify some like terms below.

f(x)=−4x+3x2−7+9x−12x2−5x4

Here you can see that -4x and 9x are like terms. When we combine (add) -4x and 9x, we get 5x. So let's write 5x instead:

f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4

Let's do the same thing with the x-squared terms:

f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4

f(x)=5x−9x2−7−5x4

Now there are no like terms left. Our last step is to organize the terms so that x is written in descending power:

f(x)=−5x4−9x2+5x−7

URGENT <br> WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST <br> solve using matrices<br> 4x + 5y = 40 <br> x – y = 1
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

x = 5, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x+5y=40\\x-y=1\end{array}\right\\\\A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right]\\\\detA=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right|=(4)(-1)-(1)(5)=-4-5=-9\\\\A^D=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-1\\-5&4\end{array}\right]\\\\\left(A^D\right)^T=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-5\\-1&4\end{array}\right]

A^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{detA}\left(A^D\right)^T\\\\A^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{-9}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-5\\-1&4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{9}&\dfrac{5}{9}\\\dfrac{1}{9}&-\dfrac{4}{9}\end{array}\right]

A\cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}40\\1\end{array}\right] \\\\A^{-1}A\cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =A^{-1}\cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}40\\1\end{array}\right] \\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =A^{-1}\cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}40\\1\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{9}&\dfrac{5}{9}\\\dfrac{1}{9}&-\dfrac{4}{9}\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}40\\1\end{array}\right] \\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)(40)+\left(\frac{5}{9}\right)(1)\\\\\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)(40)+\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)(1)\end{array}\right]\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\4\end{array}\right]\Rightarrow x=5,\ y=4

7 dots at 10: 7 x 10 =   70
8 dots at 15: 8 x 15 = 120
8 dots at 17: 8 x 17 = 136
6 dots at 19: 6 x 19 = 114

Mean: (9+70+120+136+114) / (1+7+8+8+6) = 449/30 = 14.97

Group B:

6 dots at 18: 6 x 18 = 108
5 dots at 25: 5 x 25 = 125
4 dots at 28: 4 x 28 = 112
4 dots at 29: 4 x 29 = 116

mean: (60+70+108+125+112+116) / (6+5+6+5+4+4) = 591 / 30 = 19.70

The group that has a lower mean age of painting students is Group A. Its mean is 14.97 or 15 years of age.

20. A community is having a Taste of the Town event featuring dishes from the area’s best restaurants. The cost of admission is
marin [14]

Answer:

18550 - 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of admission in Advance = $25

Cost of admission at the door = $35

Number of people who paid in advance = x

Total number of tickets sold = 530

Total amount made from ticket sales will be :

(Number who paid in advance * cost) + (number who paid at the door * cost)

(25 * x) + (530 - x) * 35

25x + 18550 - 35x

18550 - 10x
