Step-by-step explanation:

•Priya's age = 15 years,

•Amirah's age = (15 + 4) = 19 years

•Shirley's age = (x - 2) = 13 years

Let Priya 's age = x years

Amirah's age = (x + 4) years

Shirley's age = (x - 2) years

✦To find, their respective ages = ?

According to question:

⇒ x+(x+4)+(x-2) = 47

⇒ 3x+2 = 47

⇒ 3x = 47-2 = 45

⇒x = 45/3

⇒ x = 15

∴ Priya's age = 15 years

∴ Amirah's age = (15 + 4) = 19 years

∴ Shirley's age = (x - 2) = 13 years

The volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides.This can be written in function as v(s).What is the best interpretation

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Volume of cube = (side)^3

Fro side length s , we can write:

V(s) = s^3 , where volume is the function of s.

Now ,

We have given : v(4) = 64

If we compare this with v(s) = s^3

Then we get s =4 , i.e side length of cube is 4

Also 64 = 4^3 , i.e volume of cube is 64.

So we can interpret this as: A cube with side lengths of 4 feet has a volume of 64 cubic feet

Solve the system y = -x + 7 and y = 0.5(x - 3)2

amid [387]

Answer:

(5, 2 ) and (- 1, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

y = - x + 7 → (1)

y = 0.5(x - 3)²

= 0.5(x² - 6x + 9)

y = 0.5x² - 3x + 4.5 → (2)

Substitute y = - x + 7 into (2)

- x + 7 = 0.5x² - 3x + 4.5 ( subtract - x + 7 from both sides )

0 = 0.5x² - 2x - 2.5 ( multiply through by 2 ) , then

x² - 4x - 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = 5 : y = - 5 + 7 = 2 ⇒ (5, 2 )

x = - 1 : y = -(- 1) + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8 ⇒ (- 1, 8 )

One person can do a certain job in ten minutes, and another person can do the same job in fifteen minutes. How many minutes will

Alexxandr [17]

A can do 1 job in 10 min. means 1/10 job per min.
B can do 1/15 job per min.

together A&B can do 1/10+1/15 =1/6 job per min.

1/6 job they spend 1 min
1 spend 1x1/(1/6) = 6 min
