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

A gym charges a monthly fee and an additional cost for each class. Consider the graph that represents the relationship between t
bija089 [108]
For this problem you need to understand that a linear graph is a straight line (Remember Rise/Run). 
A continous function is <span>a </span>continuous function<span> is a </span>function <span>for which sufficiently small changes in the input result in arbitrarily small changes in the output, so we can already cross off that as an answer.
The Y-Intercept is the cost (in dollars), so this would be to monthly fee. 
Now, onto the rate of change. T</span>he rate of change is <span>represented by the slope of a line. So the more classes you take the more it will increase. Therefore the cost for  one class is the rate of change. 
Lastly, the cost for one class is $10. It's not, since $10 is the intial fee to belong to a gym, so this is false. 

Recap:
True
-The relationship is linear
-The y-intercept represents the monthly fee.
-The rate of change represents the cost for one class.
False
-The relationship represents a continuous function. 
-The cost for one class is $10.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: 66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount Marie will earn at a new job = $15 per hour

The amount she will earn during the training = $10 per hour

The percent of Marie’s regular hourly rate she will earn during training is given by :-

P=\frac{\text{Rate of amount she earn in training }}{\text{Rate of amount she earn at new job }}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\frac{10}{15}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=66.66666\%\approx66.67\%
