Answer:

Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.

21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

3x + 7x + 14 = 294

10x = 280

x = 28

x + 2 = 30

Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Answer:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Janine's age be x years , then Ingrid's age is x+2 years.

From the given information we have the equation:

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiplying through by the LCM of 3 and 7 (21),  we have:

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

10x + 14 = 294

10x =  294-14 = 280

x = 28, so:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Jeremy is taking a photography class, but he doesn't own a camera. The class organizers will rent him a camera for $6 per day. J
Mazyrski [523]
Solving the given inequality for d, we get...

6d + 15 < 50
6d + 15-15 < 50-15 <<-- subtract 15 from both sides
6d < 35
6d/6 < 35/6 <<--- divide both sides by 6
d < 5.83

Which means that d can be any of the values in this set: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

The smallest d can be is 0. In this scenario, Jeremy pays the $15 registration but doesn't rent the camera at all
The largest d can be is 5. In this scenario, Jeremy rents the camera for 5 days
Any larger value of d is not allowed as it would make the total cost go over $50
Notice how I'm rounding down regardless how close 5.83 is to 6

The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown below<br><br> what is the value of k?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k

G(x) is the function f(x) moved up k units

G(x) is moved up 2 units so k is 2
