Mathematics

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

6 students share 5 small pizza needs to be share equally
dusya [7]
                             5 pizza / 6 student  =  'Z' pizza / 1 student

Cross-multiply the proportion:       

                             5 pizza-student  =  6 Z  pizza-student

Divide each side of the equation by 6 pizza-student :        

                             5/6  =  Z

Each student gets 5/6 of 1 pizza.

It's not so complicated.  Cut each pizza into 6 slices,
and each student gets 5 slices.

That's the same as  (83 and 1/3) percent of a pizza.

Jimmy invests $3000 in an account with a 3.8% interest rate, making no other deposits or withdrawals. What will Jimmy’s account
Leto [7]
Use the formula A(t)=P(1+[r/n])^(n)(t) which for us looks like this:
A(t)= 3000(1+[.038/4])^(4)(9). Doing that math, you have 3000(1.405489). The product of that is $4216.47
