Answer: 5 feet and 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
"Give yourself 100 pounds for the first 5 feet plus 5 pounds for every inch over 5 feet tall"
100 pounds for 5 feet + 5 pounds/inch [over 5 feet]
We can separate 135 pounds into two parts: the first 100 pounds and the other 35 pounds: 135 = 100 + 35
100 = 5 feet
35 pounds/5 pounds/inch = 7 inches
So, the height is 5 feet and 7 inches
Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12
-
Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
(goh) = 2(x^1/2)-1
(goh)(9) = 2(9^1/2)-1
= 2(3)-1
= 6-1
= 5
(goh)(9) = 5
