1. Four years ago, the age of Paul was twice that of John. John is 18 years old now. How old is Paul now?

2. Five bottles of milk cost $4.4 more than four bottles of juice. If one bottle of milk costs $3.2, find the cost of one bottle of juice.

3. Miss Cheung spends 1/8 of her savings on personal ornaments and 5/6 on clothing. If her savings still has $130 left, find the original amount of her savings.​

Answers

Answer 1

1.

Paul's present age = x

John's present age = 18

Paul's age 4 years ago = x - 4

John's age 4 years ago = 18 - 4 = 14

Also,

Paul's age four years ago was twice that of John's age four years ago.

Therefore,

Paul's age 4 years ago = 2(14)

= 28

Paul's age 4 years ago = x - 4 = 28

x - 4 = 28

x = 28 + 4

x = 32

Therefore, the present age of Paul is 32.

2.

Cost of one bottle of milk = $3.2

Cost of five bottles of milk = $3.2 × 5 = $15

Cost of four bottles of juice = $15 - $4.4

= $10.6

Cost of one bottle of juice = x

= Cost of four bottles of juice

4

= 10.6

4

= 2.56

Therefore, one bottle of juice costs $2.56.

3.

Savings spent on personal ornaments = 1/8

Savings spent on clothing = 5/6

Total savings spent = 1/8 + 5/6

= 3/24 + 20/24

= (3+20)/24

= 23/24

Savings left = 1/24 = $130

Total amount of savings = x

As 130 is one part of the total savings,

Total amount of savings =

x = 130 × 24

x = 3120

Therefore, original amount of savings is $3120.

5. Find the solutions of x^2 – X-30 = 0.

please show work on how to do it

Answers

Answer:

x=6, x= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the equation

x^2 - x - 30 = 0 ----> (x-6)(x+5)=0

Next find the solution by setting those in the paranthesis equal to zero.

x-6=0 ----> x= 6

x+5=0 ----> x= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {x}^{2} - x - 30 = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex] {x}^{2} + 5x - 6x - 30 = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex]x \times (x + 5) - 6(x + 5) = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex](x + 5) \times (x - 6) = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex]x + 5 = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex]x - 6 = 0[/tex]

➡️ [tex]x = - 5[/tex]

➡️ [tex]x = 6[/tex]

➡️ [tex] x_{1} = - 5. \: x_{2} = 6[/tex]

divide write your answer in simplest form 2/3 divided by 1/4

Answers

Answer:

8/3 or 2.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

when you divide fractions you use a technique called KCF

K = keep

C = change

F = flip

You write the equation [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

you keep [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

you change the symbol, so from ÷ you change it to x

and flip the last fraction, so you would have  [tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

then you solve it

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x  [tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

The result of 2/3 divided by 1/4 in simplest form is 8/3 .

Division: It is one of the four basic mathematical operation, the other three being addition, subtraction, multiplication.

Given, division of [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Division of fractional terms:

[tex]=\dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}\\= (a)\times(d)/(b)\times(c)[/tex]

Apply, division process of fractional terms.

[tex]=\dfrac{\frac{2}{4}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\ = (2)\times(4)/(1)\times(3)[/tex]

The sum of two consecutive integers is 85. Find the integers that satisfy this condition.
Answer choices

A) 1 + 2 = 85

B) x+(x+1)=85

C) x+x=85

D) x+2x=85

Answers

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Second number = x + 1

Sum = 85

x + x + 1 = 85

2x + 1 = 85

2x = 85 - 1

2x = 84

x = 84/2 = 42

Numbers are 42 and 43

Answer:

B) x+(x+1)=85

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the next integer

x+x+1 = 85

From the set {2, 6, 42}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the equation true.

6(x + 40) = 252

Answers

Answer: 2
Explanation:
If you plug in 6(2+40)= 252
Using PEMDAS, solve in the parentheses first! which will be 42.
6(42)=252
6 x 42 = 252
making x=2 because plugging in x makes this equation true
252= 252

Madison lives between Anoa and Jamie as depicted on the line segment. The distance between Anoa's house and Madison's house is represented by 3x+2 miles, the distance between Madison's house and Jamie's house is represented by 3x+4 miles, and the distance between Anoa's house and Jamies house is represnted by 9x-3 miles. Find the value of x. Then find the distance between Madison's house and Jamie's house.

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

13 miles between Madison and Jamie's house.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add the distance between Anoa's and Madison's house with the distance between Jamie's and Madison's house, then we get the total distance between Anoa's and Jamie's house.

(3x + 2) + (3x + 4) = 9x - 3

Let's add up the terms first

3x + 2 + 3x + 4 = 9x - 3

6x + 6 = 9x - 3

Let's move the variables to the right side by subtract 6x from both sides

6x + 6 = 9x - 3

-6x         -6x

6 = 3x - 3

Add 3 to both sides

6 = 3x - 3

+3        +3

9 = 3x

Isolate the variable, x, by dividing both sides by the coefficient, 3.

9/3 = 3x/3

x = 3

Now we need to find the distance between Madison's and Jamie's house.

3x + 4

Plug in 3 in place of the x

3(3) + 4

9 + 4 = 13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add the distance between Anoa's and Madison's house with the distance between Jamie's and Madison's house,then we get the total distance between anoa's and Jamie's house.
