Answer:

36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's age : Nephew's age = 3 : 1

Tom's age = 3x

His nephew's age = x

Difference of age = 24 years

3x - x = 24

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2

x = 24/2

x = 12

Tom's age = 3*12 = 36

Yuki888 [10]

In any rectangle, the area is given by the product of the width and the length.

Since in this case both dimensions are represented by the correspondent function, you need to multiply the function:

$A(x) = f(x)\cdot g(x) = 3x \cdot 2x = 6x^2$

By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00pm positive or negative?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part a) The temperature at noon was -3°F

Part b) The temperature at 3:00 pm was +2°F

Part c) The temperature at 11:00 pm was -6°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

When Leo woke up he saw that the temperature was -8°F. By noon the temperature has increased 5°F. Part a) What was the temperature at noon?

Part b) By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00 pm positive or negative?

Part c) By 11:00 pm, the temperature had dropped 8°F. Was the

temperature at 11:00 PM positive or negative? Explain.

Part a) we know that

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-8+5=-3°F

therefore

The temperature at noon was -3°F

Part b) we know that

the temperature increased by another 5 degrees

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-3+5=+2°F

therefore

The temperature at 3:00 pm was +2°F

Part c) we know that

the temperature had dropped 8°F

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

2-8=-6°F

therefore

The temperature at 11:00 pm was -6°F
