The average age of three people running for election is 42. A fourth person joins the race and the average drops to 40. What is the fourth person's age?​

Answers

Answer 1

Call the four people [tex]abc[/tex] and [tex]d[/tex].

We know:

[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{3}[/tex][tex]=42[/tex]

and

[tex]\frac{a+b+c+d}{4}[/tex][tex]=40[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]a + b + c = 126[/tex]

[tex]\frac{126+4}{4} = 40[/tex]

[tex]126 + d =160[/tex]

[tex]d = 34[/tex]

5(-1x+5)=10 pls help

Answers

Answer:

-5x+5=10

-5x=10-5

-5x=5

x=-5/5

x=-1

Answer: x = 3

Step by step

5 ( –1x + 5) = 10

(1) Distribute

= – 5x + 25 = 10

(2) Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation

= –5x + 25 -25 = 10 – 25

(3) Simplify

= –5x = – 15

(4) Divide both sides of the equation by the same factor

= –5x/–5 = –15/ –5

(5) Divide the number

= x = –15/–5

Answer: x = 3

Students planted 2(3x + 4y) amount of trees on Saturday and then 3(x + 8) amount of trees on Sunday. What is the total amount of trees that the students planted? *

Answers

Answer:

(9x + 8y + 24) trees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of trees the students planted is calculated as:

Amount of trees planted on Saturday + Amount of trees planted on Sunday

= 2(3x + 4y) + 3(x + 8)

= 6x + 8y + 3x + 24

= 6x + 3x + 8y + 24

= 9x + 8y + 24

Hence, the total amount of trees the students planted was (9x + 8y + 24) trees

Answer:

5(3x - 9)

3(5x - 45)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the expression "Andre" wrote, you would get 15x - 45 and just need two other expressions that equal 15x - 45. In this problem it's simple since only 3 and 5 can multiply to make 15 besides 1 and 15, which is used in the expression "Andre" wrote, meaning it couldn't be used.

Mark wants to continue using whole liters of paint and thinks he can create a mixture of green paint the is 38 liters. Evaluate Mark's thinking using mathematical reasoning.

The ratio from blue to yellow paint is 2:3
I need helpppppp ASAP

Answers

Answer: It's not possible to create 38 liters of green paint with whole liters of blue and yellow paint.

======================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:3. We have 2 parts blue and 3 parts yellow.

Multiply both parts by x to get 2x:3x

We have 2x parts of blue paint, and 3x parts of yellow paint.

x is some positive whole number.

In total, we have 2x+3x = 5x liters of paint. Set this equal to 38 and solve for x to get

5x = 38

x = 38/5

x = 7.6

We don't get a whole number, which contradicts how we set up x earlier. This must mean that Mark must use a fractional liters, instead of whole liters.

-------------------------

Here's another way to look at it:

Lets say he uses 2 liters of blue and 3 liters of yellow. This mixes to 2+3 = 5 liters of green.

Now let's say he uses 4 liters of blue and 6 of yellow. I multiplied both parts by 2. This mixes to 4+6 = 10 liters of green.

We continue this process to get the following

6 liters of blue + 9 liters of yellow = 15 liters of green8 liters of blue + 12 liters of yellow = 20 liters of green10 liters of blue + 15 liters of yellow = 25 liters of green12 liters of blue + 18 liters of yellow = 30 liters of green14 liters of blue + 21 liters of yellow = 35 liters of green16 liters of blue + 24 liters of yellow = 40 liters of green

As you can see, we don't land on 38 liters of green. We can get to 35 liters or 40 liters, but not 38. Each of the amounts of green are a multiple of 5.

This is confirmation that Mark will have to use some fractional amount of liters of blue and yellow paint.

Answers

Answer: Graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price for the strawberries is:

Graph B is the right graph as it uses a unit price of $0.75 per pound for strawberry price. This is why it has points of the graph that mirror the friends purchases such as (2, 1.5) , (3, 2.5) and (4, 3).

Answer:

C. 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras theorem here. which is a²+b²=c².

a and b are the replacements for the 5miles and  3miles here.

They are a and b because a  and b are always on the right angle side.

The longest side of this triangle is called a hypotenuse which is the c in this case.

the other sides (a and b) are called the adjacent and the opposite.

it doesn't matter if you use adjacent or opposite for a and b in this case.

the only important thing is the hypotenuse here.

So it's a²+b²=c², which is 5²+3²=c².

5² is 25 and 3² is 9, so we add them and we get 34.

so c²=34, we don't want the square on c  so we send it to 34 which becomes √34.

√34 gives us 5.8 miles which is up to just only one decimal place.

You might need to use calculators for square roots because they take long to calculate.
