Answer: Lucie is 8 and her brother is 13

Step-by-step explanation: the only possible way for Lucie to be half her brother's age while being 5 years younger at the same time, is if she's 5 and he's 10. that's how old they were 3 years ago. now you just add 3 to 5 and 10 to find their current ages; 5+3=8 so Lucie is 8, and 10+3=13 so her brother is 13.

Answer:

 Lucie is 8 and her brother is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucie is 5 years younger than her brother. Three years ago, Lucie was twice younger than her brother.

Let L be the Lucie age

and B be the brothers age

Lucie is 5 years younger than her brother

L= B-5

Three years ago, Lucie age is L-3

brother is B-3

Lucie was twice younger than her brother.

2(L-3)= B-3

Plug in B-5 for L

2(B-5-3)= B-3

2B - 16= B-3

Subtract B from both sides

B - 16 = -3

Add 16 on both sides

B= 13

Age of brother = 13

Age of Lucie = brother -5 = 13-5 = 8

The BJ Electrical Company needs to hire master electricians and apprentices for a one week project. Master electricians receive
Stells [14]

Answer:

The BJ Electrical Company

The BJ Electrical Company should hire:

8 master electricians and

22 apprentices

in order to accomplish the project and still meet the contract safety requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of workers needed = 30

Class of workers:

Master electrician, with per week salary = $750 per worker

Apprentices, with per week salary = $350 per worker

Number of inspection hours required from each master electrician = 3 hours

Total inspection hours for the project = 25 hours

Average number of master electricians needed = 25/3 = 8.333 = 8

Number of each type of worker needed:

Master electricians = 8

Apprentices = 22 (30 - 8)

Cost to be incurred for workers:

Master electricians = $6,000 (8 * $750)

Apprentices =               7,700 (22 * $350)

Total labor cost =      $13,700

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below?
gregori [183]
The correct answer to this problem is be because you have to multiply the 4 outside of the parentheses with the 4 inside of the parentheses which gives you 16X and then afterwards you have to do the same with the 6 with so since 4•6=24 you can automatically eliminate answer choice D and then you add up your 3x to your 16x which will be 19x so it would be B. 19x+24

Find the slope from (3,8) (5,12)
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope formula is (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

2. Take your numbers using this: (x1, y1) (x2, y2)

so: x1= 3, x2= 5, y1= 8, y2= 12

3. Now we plug these numbers into our formula.

(12-8) / (5-3)

4. Solve

(12-8) / (5-3) = 4/2 = 2
