Answer:   (#22)  11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The total ages of three students is 34. If the youngest student is 9 years younger than the oldest student, and the middle student is 4 years older than the youngest student, how old is the middle student?</em>

Ok let's call the students' ages a, b, and c. (a is the youngest, b is the middle, c is the oldest.) The problem tells us that

a + b + c = 34,

a = c - 9, and

b = a + 4.

We want to transform the first equation into just b's, because then we can solve for b and get the middle student's age. We're going to do this using substitution. So from the third equation, rearranging it yields a = b - 4, so now we substitute that for a in the first equation:

(b - 4) + b + c = 34.

Now we need to turn the c into something with b's. Well the second equation tells us a = c - 9, so c = a + 9. What now? Well maybe we could substitute b-4 for a in this equation to get

c = (b - 4) + 9

which means c = b + 5. So now we can substitute that to get

(b - 4) + b + (b + 5) = 34

3b + 1 = 34

3b = 33

b = 11,

So the middle student's age is 11.

Betty makes pies. to make 7 pies, she uses 12 1/4 cups of flour. How many cups of flour are needed to make one pie? I NEED HELP
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1 and 1/4 cups of floour is used to make one pie. Since 7 and 1/2 cups is used for 6 pies we divide the 7 and 1/2 cups by the 6 pies. 7 and 1/2 cups is equivalent to 15/ 2 cups. 15/2 divided by 6 is equal to 15/2 times 1/6. This comes out to 15/12, which simplifies to 5/4, which is equivalent to 1 and 1/4 cups

Write a rule for a geometric sequence that has -6 as its first term and a common ratio of 2. What is the tenth term of this sequ
slega [8]
The general form of the geometric sequence is a_{n} = a_{1} (r) ^{n-1}, where a sub n is the number term you're looking for (we're looking for the tenth term). a sub 1 is the first term in the sequence (ours is -6), r is the common ratio, and n-1 is the numbered term you're looking for minus 1.  Our formula then looks like this: a_{10} =-6(2) ^{10-1}.  Simplify it to  a_{10} =-6(2)^9.  Take 2 to the 9th power then multiply it by -6 to get -3072.  C is your answer.
