J = 14
J = 1/2S + 4 1/2
14 = 1/2S + 9/2....multiply everything by 2 to get rid of fractions
28 = S + 9
28 - 9 = S
19 = S
check...
14 = 1/2S + 9/2......S = 19
14 = 1/2(19) + 9/2
14 = 9 1/2 + 9/2
14 = 19/2+ 9/2
14 = 28/2
14 = 14 (correct)
so the sister is 19 <===

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Label them as variables
A, B, and C
Now try and list them
ABC
ACB
BAC
BCA
CAB
CBA
There should be 6
The more mathematical way is using factorials
So you would do 3! which is 3*2*1
This also gives you 6
Answer:12,000
Step-by-step explanation:
.05*30,000=1,500
1,500*12=18,000
30,000-18,000=12,000
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
log_x(y)+log_x(z)=log_x(yz), so logb(x-1) + logb(x+2)=logb((x-1)(x+2)). next subtract logb(8-2x) from both sides to get logb((x-1)(x+2))-logb(8-2x)=0. log_x(y) - log_x(z) = log_x(y/z). so now we have logb((x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)). now you can put it into exponential form: (x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)=b^0=1 now just solve for x:
(x-1)(x+2)= 8-2x, x^2 + x -2 = 8-2x, x^2 + 3x -10 = 0, (x+5)(x-2)=0 x=-5, x=2. plug both into the original equation to check which one is correct, since log_x(y) can't have a negative y, x=-5 doesnt work
