Let x = Edna's age

then it follows that  (x + 1) is Ellie's age and (x + 2) is Elsa's age

We can now write and equation for the sum of their ages equal to 108:
x + (x + 1) + (x +2) = 108  simplify the left side
3x + 3 = 108 subtract 3 from both sides
3x = 105   divide both sides by 3
x = 35
Edna is 35,  Ellie is 36, and Elsa is 37

Austin is building a miniatuer replica of the empire state building.The actual empire state building is 1,423 feet tall and 6,00
dybincka [34]

Answer: 14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Austin is building a miniatuer replica of the empire state building and that the actual empire state building is 1,423 feet tall and 6,000 feet wide

We are further told that Austin's replica has a width of 60 centimeters. This implies that the scale of 1:100 was used where 1cm represents 100 feet

= 60:6000

= 1:100

Therefore, the height of his empire state building replica rounded to the nearest centimeter will be:

= 1423/100

= 14.23cm

= 14cm approximately

A grasshopper jumps from the ground. The path of the grasshopper is modeled by the equation y=−0.5x2+8x where x is the horizonta
Marysya12 [62]
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:  <span>y=−0.5x^2+8x 

Examining this function, we see that its graph is a vertical parabola opening down.

You did not supply instructions for this problem.
However, one could guess that you might want to find the highest point of the grasshopper's path.  To do this, find the vertex:  Find the x value defined by 

x = -b/(2a).  Here, a= -0.5 and b= 8.  Thus, the vertex is at x = -8/(2[-0.5]), or 

x -8/(-1) = 8 units.  The corresponding y value is then 

y =  </span><span>−0.5*8^2+8(8)  = -0.5(64) + 64, or 32 units.</span>
