Skyler's age is 72 and Kori's age is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: From the given details, form equations. Let the age of Skyler be x and that of Kori be 96 - x (since their sum is 96).
  • Step 2: Considering their ages 8 years ago, form equations.

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (96 - x - 8)

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (88 - x)

⇒ (x - 8) = 352 - 4x

⇒ 5x = 360

⇒ x = 72

  • Step 3: Calculate Kori's age

⇒ 96 - x = 24

Zola is thinking of a number. If the number is divided by 7.5, the quotient is 62. what is zolas number?
____ [38]
Okay, so I would multiply 62*7.5 to get 465.

To check the solution, make sure it follows the rules as in the word problem.

If you divide 465 by 7.5 you do get 62, so the solution is 465.

Mathematically, the equation would be

x
-     = 62
7.5
I would multiply x/7.5 by 7.5/1 (to cancel it out) and 62/1  by 7.5 which is basically the same solution as above.

Which equation is y= 6x^2 + 12x - 10
Vinvika [58]
Rewriting in vertex form,

it's in standard form right now:

y= ax^{2} +bx+c

but, you're trying to find vertex form:

y= a(x- h)^{2}+k

Rewriting it,

y= 6(x+ 1)^{2} -16

Thus, your answer.
