If you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago. How old am I?

Mathematics

mestny [16]2 years ago

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

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

PLEASE HELP!!!!
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a box with a square base, so let's say the width and length are x and the height is y.

The surface area of the box without the top is:

A = x² + 4xy

300 = x² + 4xy

The volume of the box is:

V = x²y

Solve for y in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y = (300 − x²) / 4x

V = x² (300 − x²) / 4x

V = x (300 − x²) / 4

V = 75x − ¼ x³

To optimize V, find dV/dx and set to 0:

dV/dx = 75 − ¾ x²

0 = 75 − ¾ x²

x = 10

So the volume of the box is:

V = 75x − ¼ x³

V = 500

The maximum volume is 500 cm³.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

£13496.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We can ignore the £ sign for now, that is just units.

If we decrease a number by 4.5%, we will have to find 100-4.5=95.5% of 14132.77.

We can easily do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{x}{14132.77} = \frac{95.5}{100}

Multiply 14132.77 by 95.5:

14132.77\cdot95.5=1349679.535

Divide by 100:

1349679.535\div100=13496.79535

Rounding this to two decimal places, it simplifies to 13496.80.

Hope this helped!

If 15 litres of paint covers an area of 250 m2, what area (in m2) will 20 litres of paint cover?
Korvikt [17]

Answer: 333.33m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that 15 litres of paint covers an area of 250 m2, the the area that 1 liter of paint will cover will be:

= 250m²/15

= 16.666667m²

Therefore, the area that 20 litres of paint will cover will be:

= 16.666667m² × 20

= 333.33m²

X^4 + 2x^2 - 24
= (x^2 + 6)(x^2 - 4)
= (x^2 + 6)(x - 2)(x + 2)

x^4 - 9x^2 + 18
= (x^2 - 6)(x^2 - 3)
