Answer:

James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation where x is James' age:

Rob's age can be represented by x + 7, since he is 7 years older than James

Kate's age can be represented by x - 2, since she is 2 years younger than James

Add these together in the equation and set it equal to 116:

(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116

Add like terms and solve for x:

(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116

3x + 5 = 116

3x = 111

x = 37

So, James is 37.

Find Rob's age by adding 7 to this:

37 + 7

= 44

Find Kate's age by subtracting 2:

37 - 2

= 35

So, James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35

Finger [1]

Answer:

w<33/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8w-35<3-(5-4w)

8w-35<3-5+4w

8w-35<-2+4w

8w-4w-35<-2

4w-35<-2

4w<-2+35

4w<33

PLEASE HELP!!

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree

Explanation:

The required diagram is shown in the attached image

Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle

Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions

These functions are as follows:

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:

α = 25°

The opposite side is the required height (x)

The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft

Therefore, we can use the tan function

This is done as follows:

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ \\ tan(25)=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=20tan(25) = 9. 32 ft$ which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft

Hope this helps :)

Please help me factor this!! Thanks!

Goryan [66]

We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4

6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24

So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping

a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)

Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)
