30 years ago zoe was 2/3 as old as luke, 18 years ago zoe was 5/6 as old as luke how old are they now

barxatty [35]

Based on the mathematical statements, Zoe is 56 years old and Luke is 66 years old, now

<h3>How to determine how old they are now?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statements that can be used in our computation:

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

Let their present ages be represented as

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have the following representations

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

So, we have the following system of equations

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

Make x the subject in x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

Substitute x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16 in x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

5/6(y - 18) + 16 - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

Open the brackets

5/6y - 15 + 16 - 36 = 2/3y - 24

Evaluate the like terms

5/6y - 35 = 2/3y - 24

Multiply through by 6

5y - 210 = 4y - 144

Evaluate the like terms

y = 66

Substitute y = 66 in x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

x = 5/6(66 - 18) + 16

Evaluate

x = 56

Recall that

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have

Zoe = x = 56

Luke = y = 66

Hence, they are 56 and 66 years, now

A bus company sell an annual bus pass for $8.50 and then charges $0.25 per ride.Use the equation c=0.25b + 8.50 to find the coas

Dmitrij [34]

The answer is $18. Put the 38 in the place of b, b being the amount of times someone rides the bus. Hence, C=0.25(38) + 8.50. Then, multiply the multiplable numbers. You get 9.5. Add 9.5 and 8.50 to get 18.

Find the length of QP given Q is the midpoint of XF, PQ =2X+1, XF=7X-4, PF=X

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Therefore the length of QP = 3.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

PQ = 2x + 1

XF = 7x - 4

PF = x

Q is the mid poimt of XF

∴ XQ = QF

QF = PQ - PF ..........( Q - F - P )

= 2x + 1 - x

∴ QF = x + 1

∴ XQ = QF = x + 1

TO Find:

QP = ?

Solution:

By Addition Property we have

$XP = XQ + QF+PF ..........(X-Q-F-P)\\\\$

$XF + PF =XQ + QF+PF ..........(X-Q-F-P)\\$

Substituting the given values in above equation we get

(7x - 4) + x = (x +1) + (x +1) + x

8x -4 = 3x +2

8x - 3x + 4 + 2

5x = 6

∴ $x = \frac{6}{5}$

Now we require

QP = (2x + 1)

∴ $QP = 2\times \frac{6}{5} +1\\\\QP = \frac{12+5}{5} \\\\QP =\frac{17}{5} \\\\\therefore QP = 3.4\ unit$

Therefore the length of QP = 3.4 units
