Alex is twice as old as Bernard and Calvin is 8 years younger than Alex. If the sum of their ages is 52, how old are they?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Currently, Alex is 32 years old. His son is 8 years old,

Solution: denote the age of Alex’s son as ‘x’. Alex’s age is 4x

In 16 years, Alex’s age will be 4x + 16. His son’s age will be x + 16

4x + 16 = 2(x+16). solving this equation yields:

4x + 16 = 2x + 32. Grouping like terms algebraically gives: 2x = 16

Thus x = 16/2 = 8. 4(8) = 32

Answer 2

Answer:

Alex is 24, Bernard is 12, and Calvin is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Alex's age be A, Bernard's age be B, and Calvin's age be C.

We can write equations to model each situation.

Alex is twice as old as Bernard. In other words:

[tex]A=2B[/tex]

Calvin is eight year younger than Alex. In other words:

[tex]C = A - 8[/tex]

And the sum of all their ages is 52. Therefore:

[tex]A + B + C = 52[/tex]

This is a triple system of equations. We can solve it by substitution. Substitution A and C:

[tex](2B)+B+(A-8)= 52[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]2B+ B + (2B) -8 = 52[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]5B-8=52[/tex]

Solve for B. Add 8 to both sides:

[tex]5B = 60[/tex]

And divide both sides by five:

[tex]B=12[/tex]

Therefore, Bernard is 12 years old.

Since Alex is twice as old as Bernard, Alex must be 24 years old.

And since Calvin is eight years younger than Alex, Calvin is 16.

In conclusion, Alex is 24, Bernard is 12, and Calvin is 16.

What is the estimate for 312+138+207

Answer:

657

Step-by-step explanation:

312 + 138 + 207

= 450 + 207

= 657

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

To round your answer, you check the tenths place to see if it is under 5 or above 5. If it is under 5, your answer will stay in the number the hundreds place is in currently. If it is above 5, you will add one to the hundreds place.

312: there is one in the tenths place, so it will stay as 300.

138: there is three in the tenths place, so it will stay as 100.

207: there is a zero in the tenths place, so it will stay as 200.

If you are doing it with the one's place, it is the same method. Either round up or down.

300 + 100 + 200 = 600

The answer is 600.

J.W. is an artist and sells hisnpottery each year at a local Renaissance Festival. He keeps track of his sales and the 7.75% sales tax he collects by making notations in a ledger. Every evening he checks his records by counting the total money in his cash drawer. After a day of selling pottery, the cash totaled $1253.68. How much is from the sale of the merchandise and how much is sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

The amount from tax is $97.16 while the amount from sales is $1156.52

Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the sales of goods and services

Taxes increases the price of a good

The price of J.W.'s pottery would be 7.75% higher as a result of the tax

Amount of tax collected = percentage of sales tax  x total of cash

0.0775 x  $1253.68 = $97.16

Amount from the sale = total cash - taxes

$1253.68 - $97.16 = $1156.52

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exponential form of an equation, the growth or decay rate is found inside the parenthesis. The standard form of an exponential equation is

[tex]y=a(1+r)^x[/tex] if it's growth, or

[tex]y=a(1-r)^x[/tex] if it's decay.

Looking at those equations, logically a growth equation is greater than 1, while a decay equation is less than 1. Obviously, our function is a growth.

To determine the rate of growth, we look closely at (1.115) inside the parenthesis. BECAUSE that is greater than 1, we KNOW it is growth, therefore, it follows the (1 + r) pattern. Let's break up our (1.115) so it models that pattern:

(1.115) --> (1 + .115) and since these are percentages in their decimal form, it follows that 1 is 100% and .115 is 11.5%. Our growth rate is 11.5%

Answer:

28.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area of the circle shown.

We can calculate the area of a circle using the formula A = πr²

where r = radius

The circle shown has a given diameter of 6

We want the radius.

To convert diameter to radius simply divide the measure of the radius by 2

So radius = 6 / 2 = 3

Now to find the area we simply plug in the value of the radius into the area of a circle formula

Area of a circle: A = πr²

r = 3

( Note that the question says to use 3.14 for π )

So π = 3.14

* Substitute values *

A = (3.14)(3)²

3² = 9

(3.14)(9) = 28.26

A = 28.26

And in the RS column, you'll have these steps

x + 7

4 + 7

We get the same thing at the bottom of each column. This shows that we end up with 11 = 11 after simplifying both sides. Therefore, we've confirmed that x = 4 is the solution to 3x - 1 = x + 7

In 1991, the moose population in a park was measured to be 1900. By 1997, the population was measured again to be 3600. If the population continues to change linearly: Find a formula for the moose population, P, in terms of t , the years since 1990. P = What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2007?

Answers

Answer:

Since this is a linear (non-exponential) population problem you can just use the standard y=mx+b form of an equation. Where m = (change in population/change in years)

The numbers you were provided state that over the course of 7 years (1998-1991) the population increased by 420 people (4130-3710). So, (420/7) = 60 = m. Assuming that the growth rate for 1990 is the same as 1991. then you would have a starting population of (3710-60) or 3650, that would be your "b" value since at t=0 P(t) = 3650. This yields a final equation of P(t) = 60t +3650. Check the answer at t=1 and you get the population during 1991: 3710.
