Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a square=a*a=a^2
1.21=a^2
a=√1.21
a=1.1yards
Answer:
(p - 8)(p - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need 2 numbers whose product is + 72 and whose sum = -17.
They are -8 and -9
We have such equation
1.25x=0.75x+50 /-0.75x (subtract 0.75 both sides)
1.25x-0.75x=0.75x-0.75x+50
0.5x=50 /*2 (multiply both sides times 2)
0.5x*2=50*2
x=100 - its the answer
Answer:
Use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles to solve this
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse
so:
8^2 + b^2 = 17^2 solve for the second leg, b
64 + b^2 = 289
b^2 = 289 - 64= 225
b = 15
