S = Sally

M = Mother

S = M/5 + 10

20 = M/5 + 10

20 - 10 = M/5

10 = M/5

M = 10 * 5

M = 50

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

Her mother is 50 yo

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

50 : 5 + 10 = 20

the answer is good

Mathswatch Question! Mr Powers checks his electricity bill. Here are his meter readings. New reading: 6538 units, Old reading: 6

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$Cost = 284 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Old = 6245\ units$

$New = 6538\ units$

Required

The cost of units used

First, calculate the number of units used.

$Units = New - Old$

$Units = 6538 - 6254$

$Units = 284$

Next, multiply the units used by the cost per units,

Since the cost per unit is not given, we assume that it is x.

So, the total cost is:

$Cost = Units * Cost\ per\ units$

$Cost = 284 * x$

$Cost = 284 x$

Use the definition of a derivative to find f’(x).

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

f'(x) = $-\frac{9}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

i) f(x) = 9 / x

ii) f'(x) = $$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} $ \hspace{0.2cm}$

$= $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{\frac{9}{x+h} - \frac{9}{x} }{h} = \hspace{0.1cm} $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{9x - 9(x+h)}{hx(x+h)} $ \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm}$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-9h}{hx(x+h)} = $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-h}{x(x+h)} = \frac{-9}{x^2}$$

0.45 plus 9x equals 27

oee [108]

Answer:

x = 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>

0.45 plus 9x equals 27

0.45 + 9x = 27

<u>Step 2: Solve for x</u>

0.45 + 9x - 0.45 = 27 - 0.45

9x / 9 = 26.55 / 9

x = 2.95

Answer: x = 2.95
