Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is \mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

where;

q_o = initial height of Monique's son

\hat q = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr

\hat q =  \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr

Then; from the equation q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o

q_o = 34\  inches

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34

Then:

Making t the subject;

q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t

t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)

and the age of the son  i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.

Daniel watches one hour of television for every three hours of homework he does each week. If you did 15 hours of homework last

Hey if you like my answer please give me the brainliest answer :)

Ok so we have a ratio of 1:3 here. (1 is for the hour of tv and 3 is for hours of homework)

3 can go into 15 (hours of homework last week) 5 times. That means we must multiply 3 by 5 to get 15 so that we can fit the ratio to last week. Because we did that, we have to multiply 1 by 5 as well.

1 × 5 = 5 hours of homework!

The product of 8 and b taken <u>from</u> 10 means begin with 10 and subtract 8b from it.

8 times the difference of 10 and b means find 10 - b first, <u>then</u> multiply by 8.
