Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

<h2>The circumference is multipled by 4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a circle"

$A=\pi r^2$

The formula of a circumference of a circle:

$C=2\pi r$

The area multipled by 16:

$16A=16\pi r^2\\\\16A=\pi(4^2r^2)\\\\16A=\pi(4r)^2$

The radius has increased fourfold, therefore:

$C'=2\pi(4r)=4(2\pi r)=4C$

The circumference is multipled by 4.

You can calculate the area and check the circumference:

$r=11.6\ in\\\\A=\pi(11.6)^2=132.56\pi\\\\16A=(16)(134.56\pi)=2152.96\pi\ in^2$

Calculate the radius:

$\pi r^2=2152.96\pi$ <em>divide both sides by π</em>

$r^2=2152.96\to r=\sqrt{2152.96}\\\\r=46.4\ in$

Calculate the circumference of both circles:

$r=11.6\ in\\\\C=2\pi(11.6)=23.2\pi\ in$

$r=46.4\ in\\\\C'=2\pi(46.4)=92.8\pi\ in$

$\dfrac{C'}{C}=\dfrac{92.8\pi}{23.2\pi}=4\to C'=4C$

A storage container is rectangular and has a length of 15ft and a width of 4ft. It will hold 270 cubic feet of materials. What i

KonstantinChe [14]

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h.

In this case,

V = 270 cubic feet

l = 15 feet

w = 4 ft

h = ?

Plug our values into the volume formula.

270 cubic feet = 15 feet × 4 feet × h.

Simplify the right side

270 = 60 × h.

Divide each side by 60.

4.5 = h

The height is 4.5 feet.

What is the equation of the line parallel to the line with the equation −x+3y=−3

mezya [45]

Answer:

y = 1/3x - 19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = x -3

y = 1/3x -3

Slope = 1/3

Point= (1,-6)

y-intercept = -6 - (1/3)(1) = -6 - 1/3 = -19/3

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

330

Step-by-step explanation:

this question wasn't as sepcific but my answer is 330 bc 7 more then 4 i suppose u to add? so that would be 11, so 11 times a number that is more then 27 so i picked 30, 11x30=330.
