Answer:

Sam is 15 and her mother is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sam's age be x and her mother's age by y

We can figure out Sam and her mother's age by representing these scenarios using equations with variables and solving the system using elimination

2x+y/2=48

3x-1/3y=33

You start by making all the numbers in both the equations whole

2(2x+y/2=48)

3(3x-1/3y=33)

Becomes:

4x+y=96

9x-y=99

Add together to eliminate y

13x/13=195/13

x=15

Now that we have x we can plug the value into the x in the equations to give us the y-value

2x15+y/2=48

30+y/2=48

30+y/2-30=48-30

y/2=18

2 X y/2=18 X 2

y=36

Therefore x=15 and y=36

A laptop computer i purchaed for. Each year, it value i $1500 of it value 75% the year before. After how many year will the lapt
Andrews [41]

After 7 years  the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less.

In this question, we have been given a laptop computer is purchased for $1500 . Each year, its value is 75%  of its value the year before.

We need to find the number of years when laptop computer be worth $200  or less.

We can see that given situation represents exponential decay function with initial value 1500, decay rate = 0.75 and the final value = 200

We need to find period t.

For given situation we get an exponential function as,

1500 * (0.75)^t ≤  200

(0.75)^t  ≤ 2/15

t * ln(0.75) ≤ ln(2/15)

t * (-0.2877) ≤ -2.0149

t ≥ (-2.0149)/(-0.2877)

t ≥ 7

Therefore, the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less after 7 years.

Jackie earns 8% commission selling houses. She just sold a house for $165,000. How much is her commission?
Mrrafil [7]
13,200
because you would take 165,000 and mulitply it by .08 (because it is a percent just move the decimal 2 places to the left to get it in decimal form) which would then give you 13,200

What is the angle of rotation about the center that will map the regular pentagon onto itself
Andrew [12]

The answer is 180 degrees. The rotation that maps one side to an adjacent side is 360°/6 = 60°. This is the least rotation that plots the regular hexagon to the aforementioned. In the least whole number of these minimum rotations, such as three 60° rotations to make 180°, will retain the hexagon identical.
