Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages

we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43

the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years 
Tony's ages is 22 years

Which is the graph of f(x) = StartRoot x EndRoot?
shusha [124]

Answer:

The 4th graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which graph corresponds to the f(x) = \sqrt{x}   we will start with inserting some values for x and see what y values we will obtain and then compare it with graphs.

f(1) = \sqrt{1} = 1\\f(2) = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41\\f(4) = \sqrt{4} = 2\\f(9) = \sqrt{9} = 3

So, we can see that the pairs (1, 1), (2, 1.41), (4, 2), (3, 9) correspond to the fourth graph.

Do not be confused with the third graph - you can see that on the third graph there are also negative y values, which cannot be the case with the f(x) =\sqrt{x}, the range of that function is [0, \infty>,   so there are only positive y values for f(x) = \sqrt{x}

The waiting time to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 peopl
laiz [17]

Answer: The waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the waiting time is directly proportional to the number of people in the queue.

Equation of direct proportion between variables x and y :  \dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}

Put x_1=20,\ y_1=150,\ y_2=150  to find  x_2.

\dfrac{20}{150}=\dfrac{x_2}{240}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=\dfrac{20}{150}\times240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=32

Hence, the waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.
