Let's begin by calling Sarah's age now as X. As Ralph is 3 times as old as Sarah, X times 3 = 3X. Hence, Ralph's age is 3X. In six years, Ralph will be twice as old as Sarah. To calculate six years from now, add 6 to X for Sarah, and 6 to 3X for Ralph. As Ralph is twice as old as Sarah and we want to find the difference between the ages to calculate X, multiply X+6 by 2. You'll get 2X+12. Therefore, 2X+12=3X+6. Deduct 6 from 3X+6 as we want to isolate the variable. Because you did that to one side, you have to deduct 6 from 2X+12. Hence, now you have 2X+6=3X. X=6. Ralph's age is 3X, so 6 times 3 is 18. Ralph is 18 years old.

Chris pays a fee if her balance falls below $10 on the statement data. Prior to the statement date, her balance was -$3.46. Then
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality required for the situation is d  ≥ $13.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the minimum deposit is $10.

ii) the balance before the statement is $-3.46

iii) a deposit d is made so that the fee did not have to be made

iv) therefore d + (-3.46)  ≥  10

                    d - 3.46 ≥ 10

    therefore d  ≥ 10 + 3.46

 therefore d  ≥ $13.46

Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 2x2 + 14.0 – 4
Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4  = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27

What is the absolute value -4/25???
andre [41]
Absolute value is a number's distance away from 0. So, all answers are positive. -4/25 is 4/25's away from 0, so your answer is -4/25. To clarify: if you have the absolute value of ANY number, it will always be the positive version of itself.

Eighteen boys joined a group of p students in the auditorium. If the ratio of boys to girls was then 5:4 write and algebraic exp
ycow [4]

Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5
