Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3

Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age

x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.

x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old

So Bea is 9.

Question 4:

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a. Jacques will be 46.4m below the surface and his assistant will be 78.1m below the surface.

b. 10 minutes

c. 6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation for Justin's motion be J(x)=-13.9-7.5x (where J(x) is his distance from the surface in metres and x is time in minutes), because he starts off 13.9m below the surface and descends 7.5m every minutes.

Let the equation for the assistant be a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x (where a(x) is his distance from the surface in metres and x is time in minutes), because he starts off 97.3m below the surface and ascends 6.4m every minutes.

J(x)=-13.9-7.5x

J(3)=-13.9-7.5(3)=-13.9-22.5=-36.4

a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x

a(3)=-97.3+6.4(3)=-97.3+19.2=-78.1

a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x

-33.3=-97.3=+6.4x

64=6.4x

x=10

when divers are at the same depth, J(x)=a(x)

J(x)=a(x)

-13.9-7.5x=-97.3=+6.4x

83.4=13.9x

x=6

Use the original price and the markup to find the retail price. Original price: $64; Markup: 20%

Leni [432]

Answer:

$76.80

Step-by-step explanation:

When a product has a certain markup, you need to multiply the markup by the price of the product, and then add that to the original price of the product. 20%=0.2, and 0.2*64=12.8. Adding this to the original price, you get 64+12.8=$76.80. Hope this helps!

One month Tammy rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $ 42 . The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for

jeka94

Answer:

The rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rental cost of 1 movie be m.

Let the rental cost of 1 video game be v.

One month, Tammy rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $42. This means that:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $30. This means that:

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

We now have two simultaneous equations:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

Multiply (2) by 2, and we have:

2m + 6v = 42 __________ (1)

10m + 6v = 60 _________ (3)

Subtract (1) from (3):

10m + 6v = 60

-<u> 2m + 6v = 42</u>

=> m = 18 / 8

m = $2.25

Put the value of m back in (1):

2(2.25) + 6v = 42

4.5 + 6v = 42

=> 6v = 42 - 4.5 = 37.5

v = 37.5 / 6

v = $6.25

Therefore, the rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25
