Mathematics

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
 We have then:
 x: liz's age
 y: melinda's age
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y = 28

x-6 = (1/3) (y-6)
 By solving the system graphically we have that the age of each one is currently:
 x = 10

 y = 18
 Next year, the age of liz is:
 x + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

 Answer:
 
Next year, Liz's age is 11 years.
 
Note: see attached image for the graphic solution.

Identify the variation as direct, inverse, joint or combined. A = πr^2
Reika [66]

Answer:

1. y = 7x. This is an example of direct variation as the value of y also increases if the value of x is increased.

2. xy = 24. This is an example of inverse because the value of y is decreased when x is increased. 

3. F = 4/R. This is inverse variation for the same reason as number 2.

4. m/n = 4. Direct variation. For the same reason as number 1.

5. i = 2pr. Joint variation. The value of i is dependent on the values of two other variables.

6. R = cl/r². Joint variation.

7. A = pir². Direct variation. I believe pi here is for π, leaving only A being dependent only to value of r. 

8. V= pir²h. Joint variation.

If you have 5 tenths of a dollar, how much money do you have
horrorfan [7]
A tenth is 1/10.
5 tenths is 5/10.

5/10 is a fraction that can be made simpler, by dividing by 5, so that the fraction becomes 1/2.

1/2 is a half, so if you have a half a dollar, you have 50 cents.

Hope I helped. :)
