Susan = x

Gina = 3x

Sum of their ages = 12

Susan's age = ?

We can see that,

$2x=10x = \frac{10}{2}x= 210 x = 5x=5$

Susan is <u>3</u><u> </u><u>years </u>old.

a boat takes 8 hours to go 6 miles upstream and come back to the starting point. if the speed of the boat is 4 miles per hour in

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:
$\frac{6}{4+V} + \frac{6}{4-V} =8; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ \frac{V^2-10}{16-V^2}=0; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ V=\sqrt{10} \ \frac{miles}{hour}$

answer: √10

P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.

Students were asked to write 6x5 + 8x - 3x3 + 7x7 in standard form.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$7x^{7} + 6x^{5} - 3x^{3} + 8x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Students are asked to write $6x^{5} + 8x - 3x^{3} + 7x^{7}$ in the standard form.

Now, in the standard form of a polynomial the highest power of the variable takes the leftmost position and the lowest power of the variable takes the rightmost position and the power of variable decreases from left to right.

Therefore, the standard form will be $7x^{7} + 6x^{5} - 3x^{3} + 8x$ . (Answer)

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric f

likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

$A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2$ .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

$\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375$

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

$A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2$

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.
