Answer:The simplified expression that represents the uncle's age is
4y + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y represent your age.
Your sister is 3 years older than you. This means that your sister's age is y + 3
Your uncle is 4 times older than your sister. It means that the age of your uncle would be
4(y + 3)
The simplified expression that represents your uncle's age would be
4y + 12
Answer:
She needs 1½ cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of cups she needs altogether = 1/3 + 3/4 =(4+9)/12 = 13/12 = 1½
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides
3x + 1 = 
[11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides
[make the denominator the same to combine fractions]
3x = 
Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 
Slope? rate of change is slop so try that
