Answer:

  3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many age problems, you can reason it without equations. If Tom is 13 now, 2 years ago he was 11. If the total age of the two cats at that time was 15, then Tim was 15 -11 = 4.

That means Tim is now 4+2 = 6, so will be 9 in 3 years.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you want to write equations, there are several ways you can do it. We often like to use variables to represent the current age. We can assign ...

  x = Tim's current age; y = Tom's current age.

The sum of their ages 2 years ago was ...

  (x -2) +(y -2) = 15

Tom's current age is 13, so we have y=13. Using that in the equation gives ...

  x -2 +13 -2 = 15

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9, collect terms

That's Tim's current age, so Tim will be 9 years old in 3 years.

Can someone please help me
Daniel [21]

Answer:

(-7.5, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint \:  = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \:  , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

= ( \frac{ ( - 5) + ( - 10)}{2} , \frac{(5) + (2)}{2} )

= ( \frac{ - 15}{2} , \frac{7}{2} )

= ( - 7.5,3.5)

Select the three ratios that are equivalent to 2 adults5 children. CLEAR CHECK 8 adults20 children 5 adults8 children 20 adults5
xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of adult to children is determined by number of adult / number of children.

We want to determine the three ratios that are equivalent to 2 adults 5 children. So we will divide each of the given number of adults and children.

1) 8 adults 20 children = 8/20 = 2/5

2) 5 adults 8 children = 5/8

3) 20 adults 50 children = 20/50 = 2/5

4) 4 adults 10 children = 4/10 = 2/5

So the three ratios that are equivalent to 2 adults 5 children are

8 adults 20 children,

20 adults 50 children and

4 adults 10 children

Given:
Cylinder: radius = 8 yd; height = 4 yd
Surface Area = 2 π r h + 2 π r²
SA = 2 * 3.14 * 8 yd * 4yd + 2 * 3.14 * (8yd)²
SA = 200.96 yd² + 401.92 yd²
SA = 602.88 yd²
Volume = π r² h
V = 3.14 * (8yd)² * 4yd
V = 803.84 yd³

Dimension is cut in half. radius = 4yds ; height = 2yds
S.A = 2 * 3.14 * 4yd * 2yd + 2 * 3.14 * (4yd)²
S.A = 50.24 yd² + 100.48 yd²
SA = 150.72 yd²
V = 3.14 * (4yd)² * 2yd
V = 100.48 yd³

SA =
602.88 yd² - 150.72yd² = 452.16 yd²
V =
803.84 yd³ - 100.48 yd³ = 703.36 yd³
