Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you need to create a system of equations. In these equations, use a = 2-seated car and b = 4- seated car

The first equation that you can make can be a + b = 25 because the number of 2-seated cars plus the number of 4-seated cars is going to equal a total of 25 cars.

The next equation you can make is 2a + 4b = 70 because the number of seats provided by the 2-seated cars plus the number of seats provided by the 4-seated cars will equal 70 total seats.

Next, line up the equations and solve:

Step one: Line up the equations

                a +  b = 25

             2a + 4b = 70

Step two: Multiply the top equation by -2 so that you can add both of                                        the equations together

             -2(a) + -2(b) = 25(-2)   ⇒   -2a - 2b = -50

                2a +    4b = 70         ⇒    2a + 4b = 70

Step three: Add the equations

               -2a - 2b = -50

              + 2a + 4b = 70

            ______________

                         2b = 20

Step four: Divide both sides by 2 in order to solve for b

                2b = 20 ⇒ b = 10  

Because b represents the number of 4-seated cars, you now know that there are 10 4-seated cars on the ride.

A father and his son decide to sum their age. The sum is equal to sixty years. Six years ago, the age of the father was five tim
arlik [135]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to make a system of equations.

Since the father and son's age sum up to 60, the first equation will be:

f + s = 60

Secondly, since the father's age is 5 times the age of the son 6 years ago the equation will be:

6 - (5s) = f

Now, you have to solve the first equation to let it equal to s

f + s = 60

f = 60 - s

Plug in

6 - 5s = 60 - s

     +s          +s

6 - 4s = 60

-6         -6

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

-4s = 54

-----   -----

 -4     -4

   s ≅ 14

14 + 6 = 20

You want to get from a point A on the straight shore of the beach to a buoy which is 54 meters out in the water from a point B o
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The diagrammatic interpretation of what the question is all about can be seen in the diagram attached below.

Now, let V(x) be the time needed for the runner to reach the buoy;

∴ We can say that,

\mathtt{V(x) = \dfrac{70-x}{7}+\dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5}}

In order to estimate the point along the shore, x meters from B, the runner should  stop running and start swimming if he want to reach the buoy in the least time possible, then we need to differentiate the function of V(x) and relate it to zero.

i.e

The differential of V(x) = V'(x) =0

=\dfrac{d}{dx}\begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{70-x}{7} + \dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5} \end {bmatrix}= 0

-\dfrac{1}{7}+ \dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}=0

\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}

\dfrac{5x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}

\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{7}{5}}

\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{5}{7}

squaring both sides; we get

\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{5^2}{7^2}

\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{25}{49}

By cross multiplying; we get

49x^2 = 25(54^2+x^2)

49x^2 = 25 \times 54^2+ 25x^2

49x^2-25x^2 = 25 \times 54^2

24x^2 = 25 \times 54^2

x^2 = \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}

x =\sqrt{ \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}}

x =\dfrac{5 \times 54}{\sqrt{24}}

x =\dfrac{270}{\sqrt{4 \times 6}}

x =\dfrac{45 \times 6}{ 2 \sqrt{ 6}}

x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}

Calculate the new balance of an account that has been sitting for three years with a 1.5% interest rate and had an initial depos
maksim [4K]

Answer:

$5225

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the amount after simple interest: A = P(1 + rt)

"A" is the final amount, or balance.

"P" is the principal, or the starting amount.

"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form.

"t" is the time.

What we know:

P = 5000

t = 3

r = 1.5%

Convert the rate to decimal form by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place two places to the left.

1.5% => 0.015 = r

Substitute what we know into the formula:

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 5000(1 + (0.015)(3))     <=simplify

A = 5000(1 + 0.045)

A = 5000(1.045)

A = 5225     <= new balance

The new balance of an account is $5225.

Paul has $78 in the bank and saves $30 each week. What is the initial value? Be sure to use negative signs if needed.
marin [14]

Answer:

The initial value is $78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base\ Amount = \$78

Additional = \$30 (weekly)

Required

Determine the initial value

The initial value is the amount he has in its bank account before making his weekly savings.

From the question, we have that his initial balance is $78.

Hence, the initial value is $78

However, his weekly balance can be expressed as:

Balance = Base\ Amount + Additional * number\ of weeks

Represent number of weeks with x; So, we have:

Balance = 78 + 30 * x

Balance = 78 + 30 x
