Answer:

23.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Brian's age = 27

Age of Chris is 17 more than one - fourth of Brian's age.

To find:

Age of Chris = ?

Solution:

Let age of Chris = $x$

One - fourth of Brian's age = $\frac{27}{4}$

17 more than One - fourth of Brian's age = $\frac{27}{4}$ + 17

Therefore, we can write the equation as per question statement:

$x = \frac{27}{4} + 17\\\Rightarrow x = 6.75+17\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 23.75}$

Therefore, Chris is 23.75 years old if Brian is 27.

Answer:

We are observing the galactic center as it was 27,000 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The Galactic Center, or Galactic Centre, is the rotational center of the Milky Way. It is 8,122 ± 31 parsecs (26,490 ± 100 ly) away from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest.

The radius of a tire is 1.2 feet. How far will you travel after ten complete rotations of the tire?

Montano1993 [528]

Well you have to start of by finding the circumference of the tire, which you can do with the equation 2πr. If the radius is 1.2 feet, you just plug this into the equation to get 2.4π, which we will round to 7.5. After 10 rotations, you should've traveled approximately 75 feet

4-(2x-3)=3 whats the answer

Oxana [17]

Hello there.

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

$4-(2x-3)=3$

First, subtract by 4 from both sides.

$4-(2x-3)-4=3-4$

Second, simplify.

$-(2x-3)=-1$

Third, divide by -1 from both sides.

$\frac{-(2x-3)}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}$

Fourth, simplify.

$2x-3=1$

Next, add by 3 from both sides.

$2x-3+3=1+3$

Then simplify.

$2x=4$

Therefore, divide by 2 from both sides.

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}$

Finally, simplify.

$x=2$

Answer⇒⇒⇒⇒x=2

Hope this helps!
