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:

This can't be factored right now! But if it is 2z^2+12z+10=0 than it will be factored like this:

2*(z+5)(z+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2*(z^2+6z+5)=0

2*(z+5)(z+1)

In the fifth grade there are 4/5 as many students who do not have glasses as those who do wear glasses if there are 60 students
Allushta [10]

Answer:

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 4/5 of students do not wear glasses, 1/5 of students do.  

There are 60 students who wear glasses, so let 'x' represent the number of students who wear glasses

(1/5)x = 60     is our equation.  "One-fifth of the number of students who wear glasses is 60"

Now solve for x

(1/5)x = 60

    x = 300    (multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction)

(-4,1) and (-8,7) <br><br> write an equation in slope-intercept form
Alchen [17]

Answer:

y = -2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have our two points, (-4,-1) and (-8,7) What we need to do to find our slope is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. Once plugging in the numbers and subtracting it should give you 8/-4. 8 divided by -4 is -2. m = -2. Now to find our "b" we plug in our slope, and plug in one of the two points into the format of y = mx + b.

-1 = -2(-4) + b

multiply -2 and -4

-1 = 8 + b

we subtract 8 from itself and -1

-9 = b

Our equation is y = -2x - 9

Standard form of a line is Y=mX+b

where m is slope

4x+2y=-6
2y=-4x-6
y=- 2x - 6

m= - 2 and y intercept is b=-6

43×15= what is the correct answer
mario62 [17]
43 × 15 = 645.

First, set up the long multiplication.
Second, calculate 3 × 5, which is 15. Since 15 is two-digit, carry the first digit 1 to the next column.
Third, calculate 4 × 5 which is 20. Since 21 is two-digit, carry the first digit 2 to the next column.
Fourth, bring down the carry digit of 2. 
Fifth, calculate 3 × 1, which is 3.
Sixth, calculate 4 × 1, which is 4.
Seventh, calculate 215 + 430, which is 645.
Eighth, therefore, 43 × 15 = 645.

Or.. an easier way is to use a calculator. They always come in handy when doing multiplication.
