Blake is 7 years older than Heather. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 55. How old is Blake now?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...

x=7+y

7+x+7+y=55

Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"

Simplify the second equation...

7+x+7+y=55

14+x+y=55

Subtract 21 from both sides

x+y=41

Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)

7+y+y=41

Combine like terms

2y+7=41

Subtract 7 from both sides

2y=34

Divide both sides by 2

y=17

x=7+17=24

Blake is 24 years old now

What is the center and radius of the circle that has the equation x+72+y-42=49? Explain.
balu736 [363]

Answer: The center is (-7, 4) and the radius is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle usually is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

where R is the radius, and (a, b) is the center of the circle.

I guess that the equation in this case is:

(x + 7)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 49

then, in this case we have:

a = -7 and b = 4, then (a, b) = (-7, 4)

this means that the center of our circle is in the point (-7, 4)

and we know that:

R^2 = 49

R = √49 = 7

Then the radius is equal to 7.

John ,Rick , and Molli are painting a room together. It takes all of them 16 hours to paint the room to perfection. It takes Joh
CaHeK987 [17]
John's hourly rate is 1/8 of the room per hour.
Rick's hourly rate is 1/2 of the room per hour.
Molli's hourly rate would be 3/8 of the room per hour.

It takes Molli 2 2/3 hours to paint the room alone.

Explanation
Since John paints the entire room (100%=1) in 8 hours, he would paint 1/8 of the room in 1 hour.
Since Rick paints the entire room (100%=1) in 2 hours, he would paint 1/2 of it in 2 hour.

We do not yet know Molli's rate, so we will call it x.

We know that 1/8+1/2+x = 1 hour.

We will use 8 as a common denominator:
1/8+4/8+8x/8 = 1

Adding the numerators, 
(1+4+8x)/8 = 1

Multiply both sides by 8:
1+4+8x = 8

Add like terms:
5+8x = 8

Subtract 5 from both sides:
5+8x-5=8-5
8x=3

Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 3/8
x = 3/8

Molli's rate is 3/8.

Since she can paint 3/8 of the room in 1 hour, we can set up the equation
3/8x = 1

Divide both sides by 3/8:
3/8x ÷ 3/8 = 1 ÷ 3/8
x = 1/1 ÷ 3/8 = 1/1 × 8/3 = 8/3
x = 2 2/3

This is the amount of time it takes Molli to paint the entire room.

Dan is a software salesman. His base salary is $1700, and he makes an additional $120 for every copy of History is Fun he sells.
sashaice [31]
We know that P is 1700, plus 120 for every copy of the book he sells.  As a result, P=120N+1700.  If N=29, we have P=120*29+1700, or P=3480+1700, so P=5180.
