Answer:

  Mark is 18; his mother is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 6 years, 12 years will be added to the total of their ages, so it will be 72. Since this is the total of Mark's age and twice Mark's age, his age at that time will be 72/3 = 24. His mother will be 48 at that time.

Now, they are 6 years younger than that, so they are 18 and 42.

Zachary travels on a journey of 50 miles. He spends half of
Mars2501 [29]
I divided 50 miles by 2 = 25 miles (walked) 25 miles (horseback)
I divided 25 by 3 = 8.33
I divided 25 by 9 = 3
Added together = 8.33 + 3 = 11.33
So time to complete the journey 11.33 hour

I need the steps to this, please. It says solve for x. Each figure is a parallelogram. Show your work.
Trava [24]
With any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This is another way of saying that they cut each other in half.

FH is one diagonal that is split into two equal pieces by the other diagonal EG.

The two parts of FH (KH and KF) are congruent to each other, so KH = KF. They combine back to FH


By the segment addition postulate
KH + KF = FH
KH + KH = FH .... KF has been replaced with KH (works because KF = KH)
2*KH = FH

Now use substitution
2*KH = FH
2*15 = FH .... replace KH with 15 (since KH = 15)
2*15 = 4x-2 ... replace FH with 4x-2 (since FH = 4x-2)

and solve for x
2*15 = 4x-2
30 = 4x-2
30+2 = 4x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides
32 = 4x
4x = 32
4x/4 = 32/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 8

[ f(x) = 3x + 2<br> g(x) = x2<br> Find gf(5)<br> Find fg(x)
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

gf(5) = 289.

fg(x) = 3x^2 + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(5) =  3(5) + 2 = 17

So gf(5) = 17^2 = 289.

fg(x) =  3(x^2) + 2   (we replace the x in f(x) by g(x)).

= 3x^2 + 2.

What is the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 ?
nadezda [96]

Answer: 82% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number =5000

Final number = 900

Change in numbers = 5000 - 900 = 4100

Since 5000 > 900 ( the change is a decrease)

Thus, the percent change =

(4100/5000) x 100%

= 82%

Thus, the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 is 82% decrease
