Answer:

Dave is 18 and his sister is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 38 -7x2 you can work out the combined ages of them now which is 24 (you have to do 7x2 because there are two of them and its seven years in the future). Then you can work out their ages using a ratio. Dave’s age : his sister’s age is 3:1 so if you divide 24 by 4 (3+1 = 4 so your can work out one portion of their age) you can find out how old the sister is which is 6. Times that by 3 to get Dave’s age which is 18. A formula for this (where x is his sisters age) would be 3x=38-7x2 which cancels down to 6.

The Therrell High Marching Band is selling candy bars for a fundraiser.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

3x ≥ 45

15, 20 , 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of bars Renee sold as " x "

Let's call the number of bars Robin sold as " y "

Robins, y, sold two times as many bars as Renee, x

That means Robin sold 2 times x or 2x

So y = 2x

The sum of bars Renee, x,  and Robin, 2x, sold together are no less than 45

No less than 45 means the number of bars have to be greater than or equal to 45

x + 2x ≥ 45

3x ≥ 45

x ≥ 15

Renee can sell, 15, 20, or 25 bars .   (just has to be bigger or equal to 15)

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Through: (3,5), slope=5\3
ANEK [815]
So slope intercpet form
y=mx+b

m=slope
b=y intercpet


slope=5/3
in (x,y) form

x=3
y=5 is one point


subsitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
5=5/3 times 3+b
5=3/3 times 5+b
5=1 times 5+b
5=5+b
subtract 5 from both sides
0=b

equation is
y=5/3x+0 or
y=5/3x

Consider the figure.<br> Find AB if BC = 3, BD = 5, and AD = 5.<br><br> AB= ?
blondinia [14]
Answer is 9.5 First find DC by doing the Pythagorean theorem
BC is 3 BD is 5
So 3^2+ DC= 5^2
9+____=25
So DC is 4 cuz 4times 4=16

Now add AD+DC=AC

5+4=9

So BC is 3 the bottom AC is 9
3^2+9^2= 9+81=90 the sq rt of 90 is 9.5

Answer:

1. a=3

2. a=3

3. a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9/a+9-4=12-56/8+3

We move all terms to the left:

9/a+9-4-(12-56/8+3)=0

Domain of the equation: a=0

a∈R

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

9/a+9-4-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

9/a-3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-3*a+9=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-3a+9=0

We move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right

-3a=-9

a=-9/-3

a=+3
