Courtney is twice as old as Andre and three years older than Natalie. Courtney is half Shari's age. The difference between Shari

's age and Natalie's age is the same as the sum of Courtney's age and Andre's age. The equation below represents their ages.

The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.

Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:

C = 2A

C = N + 3

C = S/2

S - N = C + A

S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have

2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2

C + 3 = C + C/2

C/2 = 3 and C = 6

A = C/2

A= 6/2

A = 3

N = C - 3

N = 6 - 3

N = 3

S = 2C

S = 2 x 6

S = 12.

C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12

Anyone mind helping me solve this inequality? Step by step
dlinn [17]

By decomposing the figure in simpler shapes, we will see that the total area is:

a = 180 cm²

<h3>How to find the area of the composite figure?</h3>

Remember that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = L*W

And the area of a triangle with base B and height H is:

A = B*H/2.

Then, the upper part can be seen as a rectangle of length of 6cm and width of 6 cm, with two triangles on the sides, such that each triangle has a base of 3cm and a height of 6cm.

So the area of that part is:

A = 6cm*6cm + 2*(3cm*6cm/2) = 54cm²

Now, the bottom triangle has a base of 12 cm, and a height of:

15cm - 6cm = 9cm

Then its area is:

A' = 12cm*9cm/2 = 54cm²

This means that the total area of the figure is:

total area = 54cm² + 54cm² = 108cm²

The average distance from Earth to the sun is about 9.3×10^7 miles. The average distance from Mars to the sun is about 1.4×10^8
diamong [38]

Move the decimal to the right (you go to the right since the exponent is positive, if the exponent was negative then you would move left) seven times, giving you 9,300,000 miles (for Earth). You then do the same with the next equation, giving you 140,000,000 miles (for Mars).

Finally, to find the official number of miles, you simply work the equation 140,000,000 - 9,300,000 .. giving you 130,700,000 miles.


If your teacher wants you to put it back into exponential form, then you first make the number into a decimal that is greater than one and less than ten.


1.30700000


Then, what you want to do is count all of the zeros as a single exponent, giving you 5, but we're not done yet. To get the correct answer, you have to also count the numbers until you reach the decimal. Remember to take out the zeros, because they're not really necessary anymore!
