Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x = 56

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now. Ralph's

IgorLugansk [536]

Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age

First statement is translated as:
S = 3R

Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)

Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old

Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$
