To solve this problem you first need to establish what it is you are looking for.. if you knew the grandson age then you could find your son and you.  So that is what we need to find and since we don't know it, we will call it x.

Grandson = x
Son = 7x
You = 12x

Then it says the sum of the 3 is 100.... x + 7x + 12x = 100 then solve and find that x = 5.  So to determine your age, just put 5 in for x and you get 60... dang your old ha

Question Progress 10 Homework Progress 17/ x: y = 2:3 Which is the correct equation? A 2x = 3y B 2y = 3x C y = x - 1 D y = x + 1
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:  2y = 3x

Reason:

The equation x:y = 2:3 is the same as saying x/y = 2/3

Cross multiply to get 3x = 2y which flips to 2y = 3x

Pls pls help I’m really confused could someone explain to me pls

Answer: 11.6

--------------------------------------

Explanation:

See the attached image for a visual reference

The distance from point D to E is 21 units. Point C is the midpoint, so CD is 10.5 units long (21/2 = 10.5)

We have a right triangle ACD. The legs are
AC = 5
CD = 10.5
The hypotenuse is 
AD = x
Because AD is another radius of the same circle

Use the pythagorean theorem to find x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 10.5^2 = x^2
25 + 110.25 = x^2
135.25 = x^2
x^2 = 135.25
x = sqrt(135.25)
x = 11.629703349613
which rounds to 11.6 when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)

Julia is going to the store to buy candies. Small candies cost $4 and extra-large candies cost $12.She needs to purchase at leas
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Small candies =9

Extra large candies =12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small candies =x

Extra large candies =y

the number of candies is at least 20.

x+y\geq20

Cost of 1 small candy =\$4

Cost of 1 extra large candy =\$12

but she has only \$180 to spend

4x+12y\leq180

Solve for

x+y=20.......(1)\\4x+12y=180.....(2)\\eqn(2)-eqn(1)\times4\\8y=100\\y=\frac{100}{8} \\y=\frac{25}{8} \\from\ eqn(1)\\x+\frac{25}{2}=20\\ x=20-\frac{25}{2} \\x=\frac{15}{2}

Since number of candies should be integer.

let x=7,y=13

total spend 4\times7+12\times13=184 which is more than \$180, so this combination is not possible.

let\ x=8,y=12\\8\times4+12\times12=176

She has \$4 more so she can buy 1 more small candy.

Hence  small candy =9

extra large candy =12
