Answer:
<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Age of Paul = x
Age of Selena = x -6
Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:
x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)
x + 15 = 4x - 24
x - 4x = -24 - 15
- 3x = -39
x = 13
<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>
Answer:
n <_-7 > 12
Step-by-step explanation:
8 because it goes from 1s 10s 100s so 8 is the answer
You want to compare the square root of 55 using "mental math". Start off by choosing two perfect squares that you can think of that are close to 55.
If you don't know perfect squares then start with the number 2 and multiply it by itself. 2 times 2 equals 4, so 4 is a perfect square.
Take the number 3, multiply it by itself, and so on. Do this for all the numbers until you find two perfect squares that are close to 55.
The two perfect squares closest to 55 are the square roots of 49 and 64. Find the square root of these numbers.
√49 = 7
√64 = 8
Calculate how far 55 is from 49 and 64. 55 is 6 digits away from 49 and 9 digits away from 64.
This means the square root of 55 will be closer to the square root of 49; 7. Since we know that it will be closer to 7, you can put the less than sign for your answer.
√55 < 7.7
(The actual square root of 55 is ~7.4, so we were correct in determining the answer without using a calculator!)
Basically, we need to plug in the given values for the variables
and
into the given expression
. First off, we can plug in all the given values into the expression, giving us
. Now, perform the operations on the inside of the parentheses. Doing this, we get
. Now, we use the distributive property to simplify. This gives us
. Finally, when we add the two numbers, we get
. Hope this helped!
