Answer:

  • (x +12) = 3((x -34) +12)
  • x = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The given age ratio is valid 12 years after the age at which Arnold was x years old. When Arnold was x, Ken was x-34.

  (x +12) = 3((x -34) +12) . . . . . the age relation in 2013

__

Solving for x, we have ...

  x +12 = 3x -102 +36

  78 = 2x . . . . . . . add 66-x

  39 = x

In 2001, Arnold was 39 years old.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In 2001, Arnold was 39 and Ken was 5. Ken is 34 years younger.

In 2013, Arnold was 51 and Ken was 17. Arnold was 3 times Ken's age.

Answer:

x = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 = x-36

x= 3x-36.3

2x= 36.3

x = 18.3

x = 54

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Alborosie
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one.  If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2).  The slope is thus
         7.2-17.4           -6
m = ---------------  =  -----------  or   -3/5.
           23-6                 10

Find the equation of the line.  I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b  =>   7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b.  Solving for b,   b = 21.

Now    we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches  (answer)

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is option C.

<h3>-6, -5 2/5, -4 1/5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given by

A(n) =  - 6 + (n - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

where n is the number of terms

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> first</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 1

So we have

A(1) =  - 6 + (1 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (0)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>fou</u><u>rth</u><u> term</u>

n = 4

A(4) =  - 6 + (4 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (3)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 5 \frac{2}{5}

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>tenth</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 10

A(10) =  - 6 + (10 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (9)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 4 \frac{1}{5}

Hope this helps you
