Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent Donald's age now. Then Natali's age now is d+38. The age relationship 5 years ago was ...

  (d+38) -5 = 3(d -5)

  d +33 = 3d -15 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 2d . . . . . . . . . . . add 15-d

  24 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Donald is 24 years old now.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can also work this by considering that 5 years ago, Natalie's age was more than Donald's age by twice Donald's age then. Hence Donald was 38/2 = 19 at that time. Now, Donald is 19+5 = 24.

What is the square root of 16x^<br> 36?
Vsevolod [243]

Note that \sqrt[2]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}

\sqrt[2]{16x^{36}}=\sqrt[2]{4^2x^{18\cdot2}}

4^{2\cdot\frac{1}{2}}x^{18\cdot2\cdot\frac{1}{2}}=4^{\frac{2}{2}}x^{\frac{18\cdot2}{2}}

\boxed{4x^{18}}

Hope this helps.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The answer is 50 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 200

Divide both sides by 4

x = 200 \div 4 = 50

so after 50 hours of walking, the men will be 200 miles apart.

What are the square roots of; (note: i think there are supposed to be 2 each) 36 12 1.96 0.64 400 25/36
Goryan [66]

Answer:

36 : 6 and -6

12 = 2\sqrt{3} ,  -2\sqrt{3}

1.96 =1.4 and -1.4

0.64 : 0.8 and -0.8

400 : 20 and -20

25/36 = 5/6 and -5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

(-x)^2 = x^2

ALSO

(x)^2 = x^2

thus, square of both negative and positive number is same positive number.

_________________________________________________

36 = 6*6

36 = -6*-6

hence

square roots of 36 is both -6 and 6

12 = 4*3 = 2^2*\sqrt{3} *\sqrt{3}

\sqrt{12} = 2\sqrt{3}

also

12 = -2\sqrt{3} *-2\sqrt{3}

\sqrt{12} = -2\sqrt{3}

___________________________________

1.96 = 196/100 = (14/10)^2

1.96 = 196/100 = (-14/10)^2

hence

\sqrt{1.96}  = 14/10  \ or -14/10

_______________________________

0.64 = 64/100 = (8/10)^2 = 0.8^2

0.64 = 64/100 = (-8/10)^2 = (-0.8)^2

Thus, square root of  0.64 = 0.8 and -0.8

_________________________________

400 = 20^2

400 = (-20)^2

\sqrt{400}  = 20\\\sqrt{400}  = -20\\

__________________________________

25/36 = (5/6)^2

25/36 = (-5/6)^2

\sqrt{ 25/36} = 5/6 \\\sqrt{ 25/36} = (-5/6
