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>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the option D

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

To calculate the acceleration, we need to use the following formula that involves the given information (initial speed, final speed, and time).

We need to use the following free fall equation:

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t$

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final speed.

$V_{o}$ is the initial speed.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

t is the time.

We are given the following information:

$V_{f}=8.15\frac{m}{s}$

$V_{o}=0\frac{m}{s}$

$t=5seconds$

Then, using the formula to isolate the acceleration, we have:

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t$

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t\\\\g*t=V_{o}-V_{f}\\\\g=\frac{V_{o}-V_{f}}{t}$

Now, substituting we have:

$g=\frac{V_{o}-V_{f}}{t}$

$g=\frac{0-8.15\frac{m}{s}}{5seconds}=-1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Therefore, since we are looking for a magnitude, we have that the obtained value will be positive, so:

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Hence, the correct option is the option D

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Have a nice day!

Solve for x in the diagram below

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

x=20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

because this is a supplementary angle, you add everything and set it equal to 180 degrees. so it would be x + 100 + 3x = 180. combine like terms to get 100 + 4x = 180. subtract 100 from both sides to get 4x = 80. divide by 4 on both sides to isolate the x and your final answer is 20. hope this helped! good luck in school xoxo

Which expression is equivalent to the square root of 1/8

irina1246 [14]

When you say "which," it sounds like it should be multiple choice. Anyways, here's the simplified form of $\sqrt{\frac{1}8}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{1}8}} = \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{8}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{8}} * \frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{8}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{8}}8}$

(When simplifying fractions, you should <em>never</em> have a square root on the bottom. Multiply by the square root to cancel it out)
