Mary is 5 years older than Bob.
Mary is 22 and Bob is 17.

When you subtract 22 - 17, you will get 5. Mary and Bob are 5 years apart.

When you add 22 + 17, you'll get 39, which is the sum of their age.

The equation would be:
m + b = 39
M standing for Mary, B standing for Bob.

22+17= 39 would be the full equation.

M= 22
B= 17.

Sorry if this is confusing and doesn't help you that much, but I really hope it helped! :-)

5x=39 x stands for the age of bob so 39/5 =7.8 which is rounded up to 8 and if you multiply 8 by 5 you get 40 but if you multiply 7.8 by 5 you get 39 so his age would be 7.8 years old.

Find the value of x in this equation. 25(4x − 3) − 2x = 45 − x
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

x=40/33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

25(4x−3)−2x=45−x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25(4x−3)−2x=45−x

(25)(4x)+(25)(−3)+−2x=45+−x(Distribute)

100x+−75+−2x=45+−x

(100x+−2x)+(−75)=−x+45(Combine Like Terms)

98x+−75=−x+45

98x−75=−x+45

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

98x−75+x=−x+45+x

99x−75=45

Step 3: Add 75 to both sides.

99x−75+75=45+75

99x=120

Step 4: Divide both sides by 99.

99x

99

120

You are playing tennis with a friend.The path of the tennis ball after you return to a serve can be modeled by the function y=-0
Ivahew [28]
#1) 4.445 ft
#2) yes

Explanation
#1) The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex.  We first find the axis of symmetry, given by x=-b/2a:

x=-0.17/2(-0.005) = -0.17/-0.01 = 17

Plugging this into the equation,
y=-0.005(17²)+0.17(17)+3 = 4.445

#2) Substituting 30 into the equation,
y=-0.005(30²) + 0.17(30) + 3 = 3.6

The ball will 3.6 in the air, so yes, it will clear the 3 ft tall net.

Answer:

C. The average velocity of A is greater than B since it covers more distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y values on the graph represent velocity.  Since A has a greater y-value than B for the entire 10 seconds, we know that the average velocity of A must be greater than B.
