bob is 12 years younger than john. john is 3 times as old as bob. how old are bob and john.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

John will be 16 years old when he is twice as old as his brother, which will then be 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Currently John is 12, and is three times as old as his brother thus, his brother is 12 divided by 3, which is 4 years old.

Thus when John is 12, his brother is 4. There is thus a 8 year difference between the two brothers.

So we can write a small equation to solve John’s age when he will be twice as old.

John’s age = X

John’s Brothers age = X - 8

Thus : X - 8 = X/2, John’s age minus the difference of 8 years must equal John’s age divided by 2, to make John twice as old as his brother.

X - 8 = x/2

X = X/2 + 8

(2*X)/2 = (X/2) + (16/2) - Place all numbers as fractions of 2 by multiplying x 2

2*X = X + 16

2*X -X = 16

X+X -X = 16

X = 16

John’s age will be 16 when he is twice as old as his brother which will be 8.

John : 16 - 12 = 4 : Subtract current Age

His Brother: 8 - 4 = 4 : Subtract current Age

In 4 years time John will be twice as old as his brother

16 = 8 * 2

Answer 2

The age of Bob and John is 6 and 18 respectively.

According to the question;

Bob is 12 years younger than john.In essence, x = y - 12........eqn(1)

and

John is 3 times as old as Boby = 3x...........eqn(2)

where; x = Bob's age and y = John's age.

By substituting 3x for y in equation (1). We have;

x = 3x -12x -3x = -12-2x = -12x = 6.

Therefore, since, x = 6;

y = 3 × 6 = 18.

Ultimately, The age of Bob and John is 6 and 18 respectively.

Answer:

The volume of the cone = 101 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius of the cone = r = 4 in

Height h of the cone = h = 6 in

To determine

The volume in cubic inches rounded to the nearest whole number.

Using the formula to determine the volume of the cone

V = πr²h/3

substitute r = 4, h = 6, and π = 3.142 in the formula

V = (3.142) (4)²(6) / 3

V =  (3.142) (4)² (2)

V = (3.142) (16) (2)

V = (3.142) (32)

V = 100.544

V ≈ 101 cubuc inches (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the volume of the cone = 101 cubic inches.

This equation shows how the total distance Warren has walked depends on the number of trips he has made to school d=t+3 The variable t represents the number of trips he has made, and the variable d represents the total distance walked in kilometers. How many trips will Warren have to make in all to walk a total of 12 kilometers?

Answers

Answer:

9 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Distance walked is dependent on the total number of trips made to school ;

d = t + 3 ;

d = total distance in kilometers ; t = number of trips made ;

Number of trips required to walk a total of 12 kilometers ;

d = 12

Putting d = 12 in the equation ;

12 = t + 3

12 - 3 = t

9 = t

Hence, Number of trips made = 9

Johanna sells small cakes for $60 and large cakes for $80. She earned $1200 in sales one day. Johanna found that she could represent this situation with the equation

60x+80y=1200

where x is the number of small cakes and y is the number of large cakes.

If this equation is rewritten as a function by solving for y, what would be a reasonable domain for that function?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]0 \le x \le 20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]60x + 80y = 1200[/tex]

Required

Determine the domain

[tex]60x + 80y = 1200[/tex]

First, solve for y

[tex]80y = 1200 - 60x[/tex]

Divide through by 80

[tex]\frac{80y}{80} = \frac{1200}{80} - \frac{60x}{80}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1200}{80} - \frac{60x}{80}[/tex]

[tex]y = 15- 0.75x[/tex]

Given that x represents large cakes

The smallest number of cakes is 0.

To get the largest, we simply set y to 0 (to get the x intercept)

[tex]0 = 15- 0.75x[/tex]

[tex]-15 = - 0.75x[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{-15}{-0.75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

Hence, the domain is:

[tex]0 \le x \le 20[/tex]

Answer

3/5=k6+8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2(k + -5) + 3k = k + 6

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + k) + 3k = k + 6

(-5 * 2 + k * 2) + 3k = k + 6

(-10 + 2k) + 3k = k + 6

Combine like terms: 2k + 3k = 5k

-10 + 5k = k + 6

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 5k = 6 + k

Solving

-10 + 5k = 6 + k

Solving for variable 'k'.

Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1k' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 5k + -1k = 6 + k + -1k

Combine like terms: 5k + -1k = 4k

-10 + 4k = 6 + k + -1k

Combine like terms: k + -1k = 0

-10 + 4k = 6 + 0

-10 + 4k = 6

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 4k = 6 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 4k = 6 + 10

4k = 6 + 10

Combine like terms: 6 + 10 = 16

4k = 16

Divide each side by '4'.

k = 4

Simplifying

k = 4

find the value of a so tha the lines represented by 2x+3y=7 and x-8y=7 are perpendicular

Answers

Answer:

y = -5, x = 4

The value of a are; a = 6

Since Perpendicular lines have a slope that is negative reciprocal of each other. There product = -1

Solve both equations for y.

2x+3y=7                             x-8y=7

3y = ax + 7                                 8y = -4x + 2

y = ax/3 + 8/3                               y = -4x/8 + 2/8

y = a/3(x) + 8/3                              y = -1/2(x) + 1/4

Now we know that the slope;

y = -1/2(x)+ 1/4  is -1/2

Then the slope of y = a/3(x) + 8/3 is a/3.  

Now the value of "a" will make the lines perpendicular.

You know that one line slope is -1/2 so the other line slope is 2 because the slope are negative reciprocal.  

Thus remember that the slope is the coefficient of the x term.

Now   a/3 = 2 ; a = 6

The waiting time to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 people are in line WRITE a proportion

Answers

Answer: The waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the waiting time is directly proportional to the number of people in the queue.

Equation of direct proportion between variables x and y :  [tex]\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}[/tex]

Put [tex]x_1=20,\ y_1=150,\ y_2=150[/tex]  to find  [tex]x_2[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{20}{150}=\dfrac{x_2}{240}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=\dfrac{20}{150}\times240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=32[/tex]

Hence, the waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Answer:

32 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

For 150 people, waiting time = 20 minutes

So, for 1 minute waiting time, number of people = 150 ÷ 20

= 7.5 people per minute

So, for 240 people, waiting time = 240 ÷ 7.5

= 32 minutes.

So, the waiting time when 240 people are in line is 32 minutes.

What is rate of change?

The rate of change of a function is the rate at which the output values change over the input value.

The rate of change of a function is one degree less than the actual function.

Here, it is given that :

a credit card company charges 13.5% yearly interest

therefore, to find the rate of interest charged per month divide 13.5% with 12 :

rate of interest charged per month = 13.5%/12

rate of interest charged per month = 1.125%

Therefore, the monthly interest rate is 1.125%
