Five years ago, Max was twice as old as Bert. A year from now, the sum of their ages would be 30. How old are they now? Show your solution.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Max is 17 years old and Bert is 11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call

x = current age of Max

y = current age of Bert

x - 5 = age of Max five years ago

y - 5 = age of Bert five years ago

x + 1 = age of Max one year from now

y + 1 = age of Bert one year from now

According to the conditions of the problem:

x - 5 = 2(y - 5)        [1]

x + 1 + y + 1 = 30        [2]

Operating and simplifying [1]:

x - 5 = 2y - 10

x = 2y - 5       [3]

Operating and simplifying [2]:

x + y + 2 = 30

x + y = 28        [4]

Substituting [3] in [4]:

2y - 5 + y = 28

Simplifying:

3y - 5 = 28

3y = 33

y = 33/3

y = 11

From [3]:

x = 2*11 - 5

x = 22 - 5

x = 17

Max is 17 years old and Bert is 11 years old

A golfer completed 18 holes with a total of 79 strokes. On each hole, he met par, which was either four or five each time. How many holes were played in four-strokes?

Answers

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a= times he hit 4 par

Let b = times he hit 5 par

a+b=18 => 4a+4b = 72

4a+5b=79

b=79-72=7

So a = 11

answer:

18 = 4a + 5b = 79, b = 79 - 72 = 7 → 11 holes

i hope this helps ♡♡♡

Well happy New Year everyone. I've been thinking about the upcoming year "2021" and found something interesting. Reduced to its prime factors it becomes 43*47. Yes, it resolves into 2 CONSECUTIVE 2 digit prime numbers, which does NOT happen that often. The last time this occurred was in 1927 (41 * 47). However these are NOT consecutive prime numbers. (There's another prime number between 41 and 47). If we go back to 1763 (41 * 43), it resolves into two 2-digit CONSECUTIVE primes AND they are TWIN primes (prime numbers with a difference of 2).


And now, here's the question: Can anyone find some interesting factorizations of upcoming years? For example, the year 2033 = 19*107 and the year 2041 = 13*157. In each case the factors are less than 10. Obviously, this is not THE most vital question, so don't spend too much time on it. (Although I've been told that a solution will finally bring about World Peace!!! ) LOL

Answers

Answer:

As 2021 and 1927 does not have any product of primes

HCF and LCM of 2020 and 1926 is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

2020 = 2^2 × 5 × 101

1926 = 2 x 3^2 x 107

2  is the HCF

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 101 x 107  = 1945260

1945260 is the LCM

2022 and 1928 both have product of primes and their HCF and LCM is

1949208 is the LCF and 2 is the HCF

1949208 - 1945260 = 3948

3948/2 = 1974

2022-1928 = 94

2020 - 1926 = 94

1974/94 = 21

and brings us back to our year again.

Happy New Year to you.

Step-by-step explanation:

when a load of 5 pounds is placed on a spring, its length is 6 inches, and when a load of 9 pounds is placed on the spring, its length is 8 inches. what is the average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds? give units on your answer

Answers

Answer:

Four inches every four and a half pounds

The average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds is 0.5 inches per pound.

What is average?

It is a measure of how much the function changes per unit, on average, over the given interval.

We have,

5 pounds loaded on a spring:

The length of the spring is 6 inches.

9 pounds loaded on a spring:

The length of the spring is 8 inches.

The average rate of change in the length of the spring as the load varies:

= (8 - 6) / (9 - 5)

= 2 / 4

= 1 / 2

= 0.5 inches per pound

Thus the average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds is 0.5 inches per pound.

Rewrite the logarithm log8(2) as an exponential expression then find the value of the logarithm

Answers

Answer:

exponential expression:

8ᵇ = 2

log8(2) = 0.333333333 or 1/3

Answer:

log8(2) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if they mean this by an exponential expression but:

set x = log8(2), then

8^x = 8^(log8(2))

By logarithmic properties:

8^x = 2.

notice that 8 = 2^3.

By exponential properties:

8^x = (2^3)^x = 2^(3x)

So 2^(3x) = 2 = 2^1.

Comparing exponents gives:

3x = 1 <=> x = 1/3.

So log8(2) = 1/3.
