We can follow the following steps to make an equation and solve it.

Step 1:

five less than 13 means we have to subtract 5 from 13

so it becomes 13-5

Step 2:

A number y is five less than thirteen.

Now in algebraic expressions, "is" stands for "="

So we have:

y=13-5

Step 3:

Solving the equation to find y.

y=13-5

Subtracting 5 from 13, we get :

y=8

Answer:

For the given equation the solution is y=8.

John’s father is 5 times older than John and John is twice as old as his sister Alice. In two years time, the sum of their ages
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of father be f

age of John be j

age of Alice be a

John's father is 5 times as old as John. We can write:

f = 5j

John is twice as old as Alice. We can write:

j = 2a

or

a = j/2

SUM OF ALL OF THEIR AGES (after 2 years) will be 58. We can write:

f+2 + j+2 + a+2 = 58

This becomes:

f + j + a + 6 = 58

f + j + a = 52

Now, we replace third equation with the first two (in bold) and get:

f + j + a = 52\\5j + j + \frac{1}{2}j=52\\6.5j=52\\j=8

So John is 8 years old

A 25 foot ladder is leaning against a house. It makes a 75 degree angle with the ground. How far is the base of the ladder from
Oduvanchick [21]
Look at the picture.

\cos 75^\circ =\frac{x}{25} \\
25 \cos 75^\circ = x \\
25 \times 0.2588 \approx x \\
x \approx 6.47

The base of the ladder is 6.47 feet from the house.

A balloon artist creates balloon hats for children at a store’s grand opening. The graph shows the number of balloons the artist
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The phrase that best describes the the line representing the relationship between the number of balloons remaining and the number of hats created is:

  • Negative slope.
  • Constant slope.
  • Decreasing function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph that represents the relationship between the Number of Balloons Hats and the number of balloons remaining.

Clearly from the graph we could that it is  a linear function.

Also, the function is a decreasing function since with the increase of one variable that is the number of Balloon hats produced the other variable i.e. Balloons remaining is decreasing.

Also, we can calculate the slope of the line.

as the line is passing through (0,500) and (100,0)

Hence, the slope of line is:

Slope=\dfrac{0-500}{100-0}\\\\Slope=\dfrac{-500}{100}\\\\Slope=-5

Hence, the graph has a negative slope.

Also, we know that a slope of a line is always constant.

So, the correct statements are:

Negative slope.

Constant slope.

Decreasing function.
