Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.
We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C
We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols:

Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:







Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.
As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.
Answer:
cos(71)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 19° is less than 90, we can express this in terms of confunction.
sin(θ) = cos(90-θ)
sin(19) = cos(90-19)
sin(19) = cos(71)
Answer: 0.6 in 10 % ; 0.4 in 15 %
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (x*10%) + (y*15%)/ x+y=12%
2. x+y = 1 x= 1-y
(0.1x + 0.15y/ x+y= 12/100) * 100
(10x + 15y/x+y = 12)*(x+y)
10x+15y= 12x + 12y
-2x=-3y
2x = 3y 2(1 - y)= 3y
2-2y=3y 2= 5y
y= 0.4
x= 0.6
