Answer:

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Alicia be x

Let the age of Quentin be y

Let the age of Rosalyn be z

If the sum of the siblings’ ages, in years, is 48 then;

x+y+z = 48.... 1

If Rosalyn is two years older than Quentin then;

z =y+2 ..... 2

Also if Quentin is four years younger than Alicia then;

y = x-4 ... 3

From 3:

x = y+4 ... 4

Substitute 2 and 4 into 1 to have:

y+4+y+y+2 = 48

3y + 6= 48

3y = 48-6

3y= 42

y = 14

Since x= y+4

x = 14+4

x = 18

Since z = y+2

z = 14+2

z = 16year

This means that;

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Answer:

Given :

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than its width

The area of the rectangle is 96 cm²

To Find :

Width of the rectangle.

Solution :

Let the length of the rectangle be x cm.

Let the breadth of the rectangle be y cm.

Case 1:

➣

➣  _____(1)

Case 2 :

We have the formula for area of the rectangle as follows :

Where,

l = length → x cm

b = breadth → y cm.

➣

➣

Substitute, x = 96/y in equation 1,

olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent, wages and car insurance don't vary much.  Grocery expenses depend upon the particular groceries purchased each time one goes to the grocery store, and are least likely to be steady / constant from week to week.

As a promotion, a clothing store draws the name of one of its customers each week. The prize is a coupon for the store. If the w
kompoz [17]

The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x

The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.


A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)

B) the original amount is $20

C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:

20(1.2)^2

20(1.44) = $28.80

After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80

D)  To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:

100 = 20(1.2)^x

Divide both sides by 20:

5 = 1.2^x

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)

Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:

ln(5) = x ln(1.2)

Divide both sides by ln(1.2)

x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)

Divide:

X = 8.83

At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100

The answer is 9 weeks.
