Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the age of the youngest sister. Since the ages are consecutive odd integers, the next sister's age is n+2, and the oldest sister is n+4. the following equation represents the relationship between the girls' ages.

n + 3(n + 4) = 5(n + 2) - 5

n + 3n + 12 = 5n + 10 - 5

4n + 12 = 5n +5

-4n  -5      -4n -5

7 = n

so the sisters are 7, 9, and 11

What does 4x-2y=2 equal to step by step
podryga [215]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = 2

So I'm assuming that your goal is to solve for the value of y in terms of x

First: the whole equation can be divided by 2

2x - y = 1

Second: subtract 2x from both sides

-y = -2x + 1

Third: divide each side by -1

y = 2x - 1

Done! I would appreciate Brainliest but no worries.

What is the solution to the following system of equations? 4x + 2y = 18 x − y = 3
Ber [7]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

4x + 2y = 18\\x-y = 3

To solve, we clear "x" from the second equation:

x = 3 + y

We substitute "x" in the first equation:

4 (3 + y) + 2y = 18\\12 + 4y + 2y = 18\\12 + 6y = 18

We clear the value of the variable "y":

6y = 18-12\\6y = 6\\y = \frac {6} {6}\\y = 1

We look for the value of the variable "x":

x = 3 + y\\x = 3 + 1\\x = 4

Thus, the solution of the system is given by:

(x, y) :( 4,1)

Answer:

(x, y) :( 4,1)

A new car depreciates as soon as you drive it out of the parking lot. A certain car depreciates to half its original value in 4
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Original price of car = $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the car be 'x' dollars.

Given:

Here, the depreciation of the car is occuring exponentially as the value depreciates to half in every four years.

Worth of car after 8 years = $5000

Value after depreciation in 4 years = Half of original value = \frac{x}{2}

So, value of car after depreciation in another 4 years = Half of the value after 4 years = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{4}

Therefore, final depreciated value after 8 years is \frac{x}{4}.

But, as per question, final depreciated value is $5000. Thus,

\frac{x}{4}=5000\\x=5000\times 4\\x=20000

Therefore, the original price of the car was $20,000.

A jar made of 3/16-inch-thick glass has an inside radius of 3.00 inches and a total height of 6.00 inches (including the bottom
Nady [450]

Answer:

a) 0.012ft³

b)2.09 lb

c)0.791 lb

d) 0.012ft³

e) 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the volume of the shell of the jar we must determine the volume of the hollow cylinder:

V=3.1416\cdot{h}\cdot{(R^2-r^2)

Where r is the inside radius and R the outer radius.

V=3.1416\cdot{6}\cdot{(3.1875^2-3^2)=21.87

convert to cubic ft:

=21.87\cdot{0.0005787}=0.01266

The volume of the glass shell is 0.012 ft³

b) The weight of the cylinder can be determined because we have the volume and the density. Weight is defined as the product of volume and density:

M=p\cdot{v}=165\cdot{0.01266}=2.09

The weight of the jar is 2.09 lb

c) The displacement of water is just the density of water mutliplied by the volume of the jar:#

=0.01266\cdot{62.5}=0.79

0.791 lb of water will be displaced.

d) The volume of the water displaced is:

[tex]=0.791/62.5=0.01266

e) The jar will be fully submerged because the density of the jar is larger than water.
