Answer:

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the age of the grinkgo tree

y -----> the age of the dogwood tree

z -----> the age of the blue spruce tree

we know that

x=3y-2 ------> equation A

z=8 ----> equation B

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2z)

substitute the value of z

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2(8))

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+16) -----> equation C

equate equation A and equation C and solve for y

3y-2=\frac{1}{2}(y+16)

6y-4=(y+16)

6y-y=16+4

5y=20

y=4

Find the value of x (equation A or equation C)

x=3(4)-2=10

therefore

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Stacy and Neil painted 280 ft2 of their living room wall with 45 gallon of paint. How many square feet can they paint with 3 gal
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

They can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area painted = 280 sq ft

Total gallons of paint used = 45

So, 45 gallons of paint painted 280 sq ft.

⇒ By UNITARY METHOD,

1 gallon of paint paints (\frac{280}{45} ) sq ft

So, area painted by 1 gallon = 6.22 sq ft

⇒ area painted by 3 gallon = 6.22 sq ft x 3 = 18. 66 sq ft

So, they can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.

How did he get from 3^-16/3/3^-8/3 to 0.00285333857/0.00285333857??? (The circled part) Because when I put it in the calculator
seropon [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ {3}^{ -  \frac{16}{ 3} } }{ {3}^{  - \frac{ 8}{3} } }  =  \frac{0.002853338}{0.05341665075}

I think, he made a mistake because the exponents have different values but then if you'll look at his results, he just wrote the same thing. If you want, you could post the original problem, and I'll solve it for you :)
