Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of problem requires you to identify what the unknown quantities are and then to set up your own equations to find their values algebraically.

In the above problem, there are two people, Troy and Caitlin.  Let t represent Troy's earnings and c represent Caitlin's.  The problem asks us to find the value of t.

"Caitlin earned $5 more than twice what Troy earned," translated into a symbolic equation, would be  c = 2t + $5.

"The sum of their earnings was $80" translates into c + t = $80.

We need to solve this "system of linear equations."  One way of doing that is by substitution; we see that c = 2t + $5.  Thus, 2t + $5 can be subbed for c in the equation c + t = $80:

2t + $5 + t = $80

We need to solve this equation for t.

Combining the "t" terms results in 3t + $5 = $80.

Subtracting $5 from both sides results in 3t = $75.

Dividing both sides of this result yields t = $25.

We have to come to conclusions and share them in a sentence or two:

Troy earned $25.  Caitlin, who earned twice as much as Troy, plus $5, earned 2($25) + $5, or $55.

We check this by determining whether that $55 and that $25 add up to $80.  They do!

You must mimic the language of the problem in writing out your answer:  "Caitlin earned $55 last month."

4. To solve this problem, we divide the two expressions step by step:

\frac{x+2}{x-1}* \frac{x^{2}+4x-5 }{x+4}
Here we have inverted the second term since division is just multiplying the inverse of the term.

\frac{x+2}{x-1}* \frac{(x+5)(x-1)}{x+4}
In this step we factor out the quadratic equation.


\frac{x+2}{1}* \frac{(x+5)}{x+4}
Then, we cancel out the like term which is x-1.

We then solve for the final combined expression:
\frac{(x+2)(x+5)}{(x+4)}

For the restrictions, we just need to prevent the denominators of the two original terms to reach zero since this would make the expression undefined:

x-1\neq0
x+5\neq0
x+4\neq0

Therefore, x should not be equal to 1, -5, or -4.

Comparing these to the choices, we can tell the correct answer.

ANSWER: \frac{(x+2)(x+5)}{(x+4)}; x\neq1,-4,-5

5. To get the ratio of the volume of the candle to its surface area, we simply divide the two terms with the volume on the numerator and the surface area on the denominator:

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi  r^{2}h }{ \pi  r^{2}+ \pi r \sqrt{ r^{2}  +h^{2} }  }

We can simplify this expression by factoring out the denominator and cancelling like terms.

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h }{ \pi r(r+ \sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } )}
\frac{ rh }{ 3(r+ \sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } )}
\frac{ rh }{ 3r+ 3\sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } }

We then rationalize the denominator:

\frac{rh}{3r+3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}  * \frac{3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}{3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}
\frac{rh(3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{(3r)^{2}-(3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })^{2}}}=\frac{3 r^{2}h -3rh \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}{9r^{2} -9 (r^{2} + h^{2} )}=\frac{3rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{9[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}=\frac{rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}

Since the height is equal to the length of the radius, we can replace h with r and further simplify the expression:

\frac{r*r(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + r^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(r^{2} + r^{2} )]}=\frac{ r^{2} (r -\sqrt{2 r^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(2r^{2} )]}=\frac{ r^{2} (r -r\sqrt{2 })}{-3r^{2} }=\frac{r -r\sqrt{2 }}{-3 }=\frac{r(1 -\sqrt{2 })}{-3 }

By examining the choices, we can see one option similar to the answer.

ANSWER: \frac{r(1 -\sqrt{2 })}{-3 }
