Answer:
The mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old.
The daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of the mother (Rhoda) be m
Let the age of the daughter (Tenica) be d.
The sum of Rhonda and her daughter Tenica’s age is 64. This can be written as:
m + d = 64 ... (1)
The difference in their ages is 28. This can be written as:
m – d = 28 ... (2)
From the above illustrations, the equation obtained are:
m + d = 64 ... (1)
m – d = 28 ... (2)
Solving by elimination method:
Add equation 1 and 2 together
. m + d = 64
+ m – d = 28
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
2m = 92
Divide both side by 2
m = 92/2
m = 46
Substitute the value of m into any of the equation to obtain the value of d. Here, we shall use equation 1
m + d = 64
m = 46
46 + d = 64
Collect like terms
d = 64 – 46
d = 18
Therefore, the mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old and the daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old.
1.) 1.5m/8m= fg/32m
2.) 1.5 (32)= 8m * fg
3.) 1.5 (32)/8m= fg
4.) 6m = fg
Im pretty sure that's right
Answer:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:
x^2 - 10x = -8
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8
x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33
Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8. Here's the process for completing the square:
1. Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:
(1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25
2. Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the constant -8: x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
3. Match this result to one of the given possible answers. Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
The answers to the blanks are
1. 600,
2. 120,
3. 120,
4. 180.
Explanation:
- The fence means perimeter around the court. So a tennis court's perimeter is 600 feet fence. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the sum of the rectangle's length and the rectangle's width.
- It is given that length equals 60 more than width i.e. l = w + 60, where l is the length of the court and w is the width of the court.
- The perimeter of a court = 600 = 2 (l + w) = 2l + 2w = 2 (w +60) + 2w, this becomes, 2w + 120 + 2w = 600; 4w = 480, w = 120.
- Since l = w + 60, l = 120 + 60 = 180. So length of a court is 180 feet and the width of a court is 120 feet.
When you simplify the expression you get 38. Hope this helps.
Answer = 38.
