Answer:

Juan = 93 years.

Gabe = 31 years.

Catherine = 25 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Juan = J

Let the age of Gabe = G

Let the age of Catherine = C

<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;</em>

J = 3G ..........equation 1

G = C + 6 ........equation 2

J + G + C = 149 ........equation 3

<em>We would solve the linear equations by using the substitution method; </em>

<em>Substituting equation 2 into equation 1;</em>

J = 3(C + 6)

J = 3C + 18 ........equation 4

<em>Substituting equation 2 and equation 4 into equation 3;</em>

(3C + 18) + (C + 6) + C = 149

<em>Simplifying the equation, we have;</em>

5C + 24 = 149

5C = 149 - 24

5C = 125

C = \frac {125}{5}

C = 25 years.

To find G; from equation 2

G = C + 6

Substituting the value of "C" into equation 2, we have;

G = 25 + 6

G = 31 years.

To find J; from equation 1

J = 3G

Substituting the value of "G" into equation 1, we have;

J = 3 * 31

J = 93 years.

<em>Therefore, Juan is 93 years old, Gabe is 31 years old and Catherine is 25 years old. </em>

A car is traveling at 20.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light. turn red. After 0.530 s (the reaction time), the driver app
slava [35]
Before the driver applies the brakes ( with the reaction time ):
d 1 = v0 · t = 20 m/s · 0.53 s = 10.6 m
After that: 
v = v0 - a · t1  
0 = 20 m/s - 7 · t1
7 · t1 = 20
t1 = 2.86 s
d 2 = v 0 · t1 - a · t1² / 2
d 2 = 20 m/s · 2.86 s - 7 m/s² · (2.86 s)²/2 = 57.2 m - 28.6 m = 28.6 m
d = d 1 + d 2 = 10.6 m + 28.6 m = 39.2 m
Answer: the stopping distance of a car is 39.2 m.
