Answer:Jason is 5 years old.

John is 4 years old.

Jackson is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of Jason.

Let y represent the age of John.

Let z represent the age of Jackson.

The ages of three siblings Jason John and Jackson totals 21 years. It means that

x + y + z = 21 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jason is one year older than John. It means that

x = y + 1

Jackson is three times as old as John. It means that

z = 3y

Substituting x = y + 1 and z = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

y + 1 + y + 3y = 21

5y = 21 - 1 = 20

y = 20/5 = 4

x = y + 1 = 4 + 1

x = 5

z = 3y = 3 × 4

z = 12

What is the sum of the geometric series?
Dvinal [7]

Essentially this is asking you to sum the first three values of the geometric series that starts with i being 1 and has the rule of (8(\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}).

Since we must sum the first <em>three </em>geometric values we need to see what the value of i will be for the first three. The sigma notation shows us that the first i will be equal to 1. This means the second i is 2 and the third i is 3.

Knowing this you can plug in the corresponding i values into (8(\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}) and sum it all together

(8(\frac{1}{4})^{1-1}) + (8(\frac{1}{4})^{2-1}) + (8(\frac{1}{4})^{3-1})

(8(\frac{1}{4})^{0}) + (8(\frac{1}{4})^{1}) + (8(\frac{1}{4})^{2})

(8(1)) + (8(\frac{1}{4})) + (8(\frac{1}{16}))

(8) + (2) + (\frac{1}{2}))

10 + \frac{1}{2})

\frac{21}{2})

10.5

Marco earns $36.50 per hour show that the relationship between the amount he earns and the number of hours he works is proportio
Korolek [52]

To establish this equation we first need to assign some variables.

Let us assign x as the number of hours he has worked

and assign y as the total amount of money that he has earned

Therefore the equation y=36.50x is the equation that correctly represents how much money he makes regardless of how many hours he works.  Just plug in how many hours you want for x and then solve the equation and you will get how much money he makes in x amount of hours.  This is also proportional because for every hour that he works he gets the same salary of 36.50.  It is proportional because no matter how many hours he works the salary will go up the same amount for each extra hour he works.  The proportion is 36.50 dollars per hour worked.
