Maura is 5 years younger than her sister Cara. Seven years ago, Maura was half as old as her sister. How old is Maura now?

Answers

Answer 1
Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.

We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C

We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols: [tex]M-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7) [/tex]

Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:

[tex]M-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7) [/tex]
[tex]C-5-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7) [/tex]
[tex]C-12= \frac{1}{2}C-( \frac{1}{2})(7) [/tex]
[tex]C-12= .5C-3.5[/tex]
[tex].5C-12= -3.5[/tex]
[tex].5C= 8.5[/tex]
[tex]C= 17[/tex]

Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.

As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.
Answer 2
Final answer:

To solve this problem, set up equations based on the given information. M = C - 5 and M - 7 = (C - 7) / 2. Solve the system of equations to find Maura's age (19).

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up equations based on the given information. Let's let M represent Maura's age and C represent Cara's age.

The first clue tells us that Maura is 5 years younger than Cara, so we can write the equation M = C - 5.

The second clue tells us that seven years ago, Maura was half as old as Cara. So seven years ago, Maura's age was M - 7 and Cara's age was C - 7. We can write the equation M - 7 = (C - 7) / 2.

Now we can solve this system of equations to find Maura's age. Substituting the value of M from the first equation into the second equation, we get (C - 5) - 7 = (C - 7) / 2. Simplifying and solving for C, we find that Cara's current age is 24. Substituting this value back into the first equation, we find that Maura's current age is 19.

so 4 years will be $42000

he'll pay 42000 + 210000
$252000
answer is B

I will assume that this is a simple interest. In this problem, you are asked to find the future value of the loan at the end of four years.

The formula in finding the future value of the loan is:

F = P (1 + rt)

Where F = future value of the loan

             P = principal amount of the loan

             r = simple interest rate

             t = time in years

Substituting the amounts given in the problem:

F = 210,000 (1 + 5%x4)

   = 210,000 (1.2)

   = 252,000

Therefore, Jay will pay back $252,000 by the end of four years.

What is the value of c such that x2 + 10x + c is a perfect square trinomial?

Answers

c = (10/2)^2 = 25 to make this the square (x +5)^2.

The value of c that makes x² + 10x + c a perfect square trinomial is c = 25.

What value of c makes the equation a perfect square trinomial?

Given the equation in the question:

x² + 10x + c

A perfect square trinomial is of the form (ax² + bx + c), and it can be factored into (px + q)², where p and q are constants.

To find the value of c such that x² + 10x + c is a perfect square trinomial, we need to factor it as (px + q)².

Note that, the coefficient of x in the given trinomial is 10, so 2pq must equal 10.

Also, the coefficient of x² is 1, so p² must equal 1.

Hence, we have:

2pq = 10

p² = 1

From equation (2), we know that p could be either 1 or -1, after taking the square of both sides:

If p = 1, from equation (1) we have:

2pq = 10

2(1)q = 10

2q = 10

q = 10/2

q = 5

So, if p = 1 and q = 5, the perfect square trinomial is (x + 5)².

Let's expand to check:

(x + 5)² = x² + 10x + 25

Therefore, the value of c is 25.

The area of a circle with a radius of 5 ft is equal to 25π ft² which is calculated using the formula A = πr². Below step-by-step calculation helps in understanding how to apply the formula correctly.

To find the area of a circle whose radius is 5 ft, we use the formula for the area of a circle: [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex].

Step 1: Identify the radius (r) of the circle

[tex]r=5 \text{ ft}[/tex]

Step 2: Plug the radius value into the formula

[tex]A &= \pi (5 \text{ ft})^2[/tex]

Step 3: Square the radius

[tex](5 \text{ ft})^2 = 25 \text{ ft}^2[/tex]

Step 4: Multiply this result by π (pi)

[tex]A = \pi \times 25 \text{ ft}^2[/tex]

which gives [tex]A = 25 \pi \text{ ft}^2[/tex].

Therefore, the area of a circle with a radius of 5 ft is 25π ft².

Answers

Correct Answer:
Choice A) 21 performances

Solution:
Total time available for the show = 150 minutes
Time required for the introduction = 24 minutes
Time available for the performances = 150 - 24 = 126 minutes

25students / 50 total students = 1/2

The answer is 1/2.

Answer: B ) [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of students in junior class n(S)= 50

The number of students take only Latin n(L-F)= 15

The number of students take only French n(F-L)=25

The number of students take both = n(F∩L)=10

The number of students take Latin n(L)=n(L-F)+n(F∩L)=15+10=25

Therefore, the probability that the student takes Latin is given by :-

You deposit $2200 Into three separate bank accounts for each pay 3% annual interest. How much interest does each account earn after 6 years?

Answers

Final answer:

Each of the three separate bank accounts with $2200 deposited at an annual interest rate of 3% will earn $396 in interest after 6 years.

Explanation:

The question asks about the amount of interest earned after 6 years on three separate bank accounts that each have a deposit of $2200 and an annual interest rate of 3%. To calculate the interest for each account, we can use the formula for simple interest, which is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount ($2200), R is the annual interest rate (0.03), and T is the time in years (6).

The interest for each account is calculated as follows:

I = PRT = $2200 × 0.03 × 6 = $396.

Therefore, each account earns $396 in interest after 6 years.

Each account earns [tex]\( \$396 \)[/tex] in interest after 6 years.

To calculate the interest earned on each account after 6 years, we'll use the formula for simple interest:

[tex]\[ \text{Simple Interest} = P \times r \times t \][/tex]

Where:

- P is the principal amount (the initial deposit)

- r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal)

- t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years

Given:

- [tex]\( P = \$2200 \)[/tex] (the deposit into each account)

- [tex]\( r = 0.03 \)[/tex] (3% annual interest rate as a decimal)

- [tex]\( t = 6 \)[/tex] years (the time period)

Let's calculate the interest earned on each account using the formula.

[tex]\[ \text{Interest} = \$2200 \times 0.03 \times 6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Interest} = \$2200 \times 0.18 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Interest} = \$396 \][/tex]

1. A ball is dropped from a height of 225 feet. The ball’s height y (in feet) after t seconds can be modeled by y = 225-16t2 . After how many seconds does the ball hit the ground?

Answers

we have that
y = 225-16t²

we know that
the ball hit the ground when y=0
the point when y=0 is the x intercept of the graph
so
find the value of t for y=0
y=0
y = 225-16t²------> 0=225-16t²
16t²=225-------> t²=225/16----------> t=√(225/16) -----> t=15/4 sec
t=3.75 sec

the answer is
t=3.75 sec

see the attached figure
Answer:
The ball will hit the ground after 3.75 seconds

Explanation:
The equation that models the height of the ball after t seconds is given as:
y = 225 - 16t²

Now, when the ball hits the ground, the distance between the ball and the ground would be zero. This means that the height of the ball would be zero.

Therefore, to get the time at which the time would be zero, we would set the height (y) in the above equation to zero and solve for the time as follows:
0 = 225 - 16t²
16t² = 225
t² = 14.0625
either t = +√(14.0625) = 3.75 sec ..........> accepted answer
or t = -√(14.0625) = -3.75 ........> rejected as time cannot be negative

Based on the above, the ball would hit the ground after 3.75 seconds

The radius is 2.7.
A = 3.14(2.7^2)
A = 22.8

the answer would be 7.29π mm² because what you would do is
