Answer:

Friend C would be 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other

In this case, we have three friends (let's call them A, B, and C) who's total age sum is 57:

A + B + C = 57

If Friend B is one year older than Friend A and Friend C is two years older than Friend A (or one year older than Friend B), then we write and solve for Friend A:

A + (A + 1) + (A + 2) = 57

3A + 3 = 57

3A = 54

A = 18

So if Friend A is 18 years old, then Friend B is 19 years old, and Friend C is 20 years old, making Friend C the oldest.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. The percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically is 58%

b. 654 people used an accountant or professional tax preparer preparing the tax return

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, in order to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically, we would have to make the following calculation:

percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically=<u>634×</u>100%=0.58

                                                                                    1,091

Hence, the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically is 58%

In order to calculate how many people used an accountant or professional tax preparer for preparing the tax return, we would have to make the following calculation:

people used an accountant or professional tax preparer= <u>60%</u>×1,091=654

                                                                                                 100%

654 people used an accountant or professional tax preparer preparing the tax return.

–5x + y = 2; {(6, 23), (4, 22), (5, 25), (3, 20)}
sattari [20]
If you're trying to see which one is correct, plug in any ordered pair and try

-5 * 4 + 22 = 2

Correct so (4, 22) is the answer.

What is the equation of the parabola passing through the points<br>(0,6). (3, 15.6), and (10,-4)?​
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the equation of a linear line that passes through the points (0,6) and (3, 15.6) in the slope intercept form, y = mx + b. We know that the line has a y-intercept of 6, so b = 6. Substitute 3 for x, 15.6 for y, and 6 for b to find m.

y = mx + b

15.6 = 3m + 6

9.6 = 3m

m = 3.2

y = 3.2x + 6

y = a(x - 0)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = a(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

Finally, substitute 10 for x and -4 for y in the equation above to find a.

-4 = a(10)(10 - 3) + 3.2*10 + 6

-4 = a(10)(7) + 32 + 6

-4 = 70a + 38

-42 = 70a

a = -0.6

Simplify to write in standard form.

y = -0.6(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6
