Answer:

36.666 (The six keeps going)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question you'll be trying to find out what x is.

(x-8), this is from the amount of years ago and 2(56-x) is from subtracting 8 with 64 and the 2 came from the fact that Jeremy is twice the age.

(x-8)=2(56-x)

x-8=102-2x

Now we want to have x by itself  so we'll add 2x on both sides to remove the -2x from the right side.

3x-8=102 (Add up on both sides)

3x=110 (Divide by 3)

x=36.666

What is the sum of 1 2/5 and 5 3/4​
Art [367]

Answer:

7\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hey there!</em>

Well to add this we need to pu it in improper form.

7/5 + 23/4

Now we need to find the LCM.

5 - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

4 - 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

So the LCD is 20.

Now we need to change the 5 and 4 to 20.

5*4 = 20

7*4 = 28

<u>28/20</u>

4*5=20

23*5=115

<u>115/20</u>

Now we can add 28 and 115,

= 143/20

Simplified

7 3/20

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

PLEASE HELP<br>L has y-intercept (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=1/3x+1
marin [14]

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Explanation:

Given a line L such that:

• L has y-intercept (0,5); and

,

• L is perpendicular to the line with equation y=(1/3)x+1.

We want to find the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as:

\begin{equation} y=mx+b\text{ where }\begin{cases}m={slope} \\ b={y-intercept}\end{cases} \end{equation}

Comparing the given line with the form above:

y=\frac{1}{3}x+1\implies Slope,m=\frac{1}{3}

Next, we find the slope of the perpendicular line L.

• Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Let the slope of L = m1.

Since L and y=(1/3)x+1 are perpendicular, therefore:

\begin{gathered} m_1\times\frac{1}{3}=-1 \\ \implies Slope\text{ of line L}=-3 \end{gathered}

The y-intercept of L is at (0,5), therefore:

y-intercept,b=5

Substitute the slope, m=-3, and y-intercept, b=5 into the slope-intercept form.

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=-3x+5 \end{gathered}

The equation of line L is:

y=-3x+5

Solve for x in the equation x²-12x+59=0
lyudmila [28]

{x}^{2}  - 12x + 59 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 12x + 36 + 23 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 12x + 36 =  - 23 \\  {(x - 6)}^{2}  =  - 23 \\ x - 6 =  +  -  \sqrt{ - 23}  =  +  - i \sqrt{23}  \\ x = 6 +  - i \sqrt{23}

mean

x = 6 + i \sqrt{23}

or

x = 6 - i \sqrt{23}
