"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
-2 + 8 = 6
because if you have 2 negative circles ●● and 8 positive circles ○○○○○○○○ then once you take away the first two circles you get you answer. You do the opposite. :) ( hope that make sense... )
Answer:
x = -8 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
given
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
recall that at any point on the x-axis, y = 0 [i.e f(x) = 0]
hence to find where the graph crosses the x-axis, we simply substitue f(x) = 0 into the equation and solve for x
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
0 = (x+8) (x - 4)
Hence
either,
(x+8) = 0 ----> x = -8 (first crossing point)
or
(x-4) = 0 ------> x = 4 (second crossing point)
Hence the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -8 and x = 4
Answer:
C = $5 + $1.5(w)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following information :
Total shipping cost :
One time fee + fee based on package weight
Given the table :
Weight in pounds - - - - Total shipping cost($)
___4__________________11
___8__________________17
___12_________________23
___16_________________29
We can deduce from the table
For a package that weighs (w) 4 pounds
Total shipping cost = $11
Let one time fee = f
Fee based on weight = r
f + 4(r) = 11 - - - - - (1)
For a package that weighs (w) 8 pounds
Total shipping cost = $17
One time fee = f
Fee based on weight = r
f + 8r = 17 - - - - - (2)
From (1)
f = 11 - 4r - - - (3)
Substitute f = 11 - 4r in (2)
11 - 4r + 8r = 17
-4r + 8r = 17 - 11
4r = 6
r = 6/4
r = 1.5
Put r = 1.5 in (3)
f = 11 - 4(1.5)
f = 11 - 6
f = 5
Hence one time fee = $5
Charge based on weight = $1.5
Hence, Total shipping cost 'C' for a package weighing 'w' will be :
C = $5 + $1.5(w)
