Answer:

5 years ago

Let Kelly's age be x

Jake's age is 4x

5 years later

Kelly's age is x + 5

Jake's age is 4x+5

The sum of both their ages is 60. The equation will be

x + 5 + 4x + 5 = 60

5x + 10 = 60

5x = 60 - 10

x = 50/5 = 10

So Kelly is (10 + 5) 15 years old.

Jake is (4*10 + 5) = 45 years old

The area of the conference table in Mr. Nathan’s office must be no more than 175 ft2. If the length of the table is 18 ft more t

The answer is  0 < x <span>≤ 7 
</span>
First, we know that width =  x
Which means that length = x +18

So, the possible equation for the Table's area is

X (X + 18)  ≤ 175

X^2 + 18x - 175  <span>≤ </span>0

Next, we need to calculate is by using complete square method
x^2 + 18x + 81 <span>≤ 175 + 81

(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16

-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16

</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9

</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7

Since the width couldn't be negative, we can change -25 with 0,

so it become

Bill ate 1/4 pound of trail mix on his first break during a hiking trip. On his second break, he ate 1/6 pound. How many pounds
tino4ka555 [31]
Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions. 

1/4+1/6

LCM of 4 and 6 = 12

3/12 + 2/12 

Add the numerators: 

5/12

So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks. 

Hope this helps!
