8 0

Answer: 9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ashley be x.

Then the present age of Alfonso =x+8

Five years ago,

Ashley's age = x-5

Alfonso's age = x+8-5 = x+3

According to the question,

$x+3=3(x-5)\\\Rightarrow\ x+3=3x-15\\\Rightarrow\ 3x-x=3+15\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=18\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{18}{2}\\\Rightarrow\ x=9$

Hence, the present age of Ashley =9 years

HELPPPPP PLEWSE POINT SLOPE FORMULA

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

y = -3/4(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope formula is given by

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-0 = -3/4(x - -4)

y = -3/4(x+4)

Suppose the linear regression line y = 2.009x - 37.131 predicts a pizza

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Pizza parlor's profit = $515.344

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Linear regression line for pizza parlor's profit

y = 2.009x - 37.131

x represents the number of pizzas sold

y represent the profit in dollars

Profit for 275 pizzas

Putting x = 275 in given equation

y = 2.009(275) - 37.131

y = 552.475 - 37.131

y = 515.344

Hence,

Pizza parlor's profit = $515.344

Answer:

$opposite\approx 70.02$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the given problem is a right triangle, as the tower forms a right angle with the ground. This means that one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are as follows;

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Please note that the names ( $opposite$ ) and ( $adjacent$ ) are subjective and change depending on the angle one uses in the ratio. However the name ( $hypotenuse$ ) refers to the side opposite the right angle, and thus it doesn't change depending on the reference angle.

In this problem, one is given an angle with the measure of (35) degrees, and the length of the side adjacent to this angle. One is asked to find the length of the side opposite the (35) degree angle. To achieve this, one can use the tangent ( $tan$ ) ratio.
