Answer: 26 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation with Austin as x and Jamie as x+69 (I just like workin with addition signs more)= 4(x-3)= x+69-3
Simplify the equations --> 4x-12=x+66
Solve the equation: 3x-12=66 --> 3x=78 --> x=26

This is the same as other age problems, just with the extra step of distributing the multiplication.

3 mangoes and 2 oranges have a mass of 200gm and 4 mangoes and 4 oranges have a mass of 300gm. Find out the mass of each fruit.

mestny [16]

Start by defining your variables
let x be the mass of a single mango in gm
let y be the mass of a single orange in gm

now, write the question as a system of equations

3 mango and 2 orange have a mass of 200 gm
3x +2y = 200
4 mango and 4 orange have a mass of 300 gm
4x +4y = 300

now you have a system of equations
3x+2y =200
4x+4y =300

solve for x and y

A equals 3
Equation is g(x)=3f(x)

What i did is notice the y intercept is at 3 so I plugged in x=0 into the parent equation and got f(0)=1

So to get this equation to the y=3 intercept which is the g function, you have to multiply it by 3

In the square below, the two semi-circles are congruent. Find the area of the shaded region. If necessary, round your answer to

Jobisdone [24]

Let's start with the area of the square
$area \: square = s \times s = 8 \times 8 = 64$
now let's subtract the are of the two half circles.
two half circles are the same as one circle, and we know that the diameter of the circle is 8 (same as the side of a square) so it's radius is 8/2= 4 inches

$area \: circle = \pi {r}^{2} = \pi \times {4}^{2} = 16\pi$
now we just subtract and our answer is

$64 - 16\pi = 64 - 16 \times (3.14) = 13.73$
