Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick

Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M

The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48

Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:

H + M = 48

3M + M = 48

4M = 48

M = 12

Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.

Maverick is 12 years old. I used the equation (3x)+x=48. X represents Mavericks age.
I plugged in a random number for x until the equation equaled 48.

A triangle has an area of 36 cm². The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

ahrayia [7]

Triangle Area = .5 * (base * height)
36 = (base * height) / 2
So let's say base = 9 height 8
If base and height are scaled by a factor if 5 than
base = 45 height 40 and
area = .5 * (45 * 40)
area = 900

Basically, the area increases by a factor of 25.
The base increases by 5 and the height increases by 5 so the area increases by 5*5 = 25

A car rental agency has 150 cars. The owner finds that at a price of $48 per day, he can rent all the cars. For each $2 increase

hram777 [196]

Given that for each $2 increase in price, the demand is less and 4 fewer cars are rented.

Let x be the number of $2 increases in price, then the revenue from renting cars is given by
$(48 + 2x) \times (150 - 4x)=7,200+108x-8x^2$ .

Also, given that for each car that is rented, there are routine maintenance costs of $5 per day, then the total cost of renting cars is given by
$5(150-4x)=750-20x$

Profit is given by revenue - cost.
Thus, the profit from renting cars is given by
 $(7,200+108x-8x^2)-(750-20x)=6,450+128x-8x^2$

For maximum profit, the differentiation of the profit function equals zero.
i.e.
 $\frac{d}{dx} (6,450+128x-8x^2)=0 \\ \\ 128-16x=0 \\ \\ x= \frac{128}{16} =8$

The price of renting a car is given by 48 + 2x = 48 + 2(8) = 48 + 16 = 64.

Therefore, the rental charge will maximize profit is $64.
