Answer: Age of Lin is 12

Solution:

Let X= age of Maya

(X/2)+4= age of Adrian

((X/2)+4)-7= age of Lin

X+(X/2)+4+((X/2)+4-7)=61

X+.5X+4+.5X+4-7=61

2X+4+4-7=61

2x=61-8+7

2X=60

X=30 age of Maya

19= age of Adrian

Age of Lin is

=((X/2)+4)-7

=15+4-7

=12

11. S(-4,-6) and T(-7, -3); Find R.<br> What is the missing endpoint if S is the midpoint of RT

Nezavi [6.7K]

answer is (-7,-9)

step by step:-

S is the midpoint of RT so ,

s= $\frac{R+T}{2 }$

$-4=\frac{x-7}{2}$ , $-6=\frac{y-3}{2}$

$-14=x-7$ , $-12=y-3$

$x=-7$ , $y=-9$

R= (-7,-9)

The distance to the surface of the water in a well can sometimes be found by dropping an object into the well and measuring the

Harman [31]

THE QUESTION IS NOT PROPERLY WRITTEN

The distance to the surface of the water in a well can sometimes be found by dropping an object into the well and measuring the time elapsed until a sound is heard. If t1 is the time (in seconds) it takes for the object to strike the water, then t1 obeys the equation s = 16t1², where s is the distance (in feet) Solving for t1, we have t1 = √s/4. Let t2 be the time it takes for the sound of the impact to reach your ears. Since sound waves travel at a speed of approximately 1100 feet per second, the time to travel the distance s is t2 = s/1100. Now t1 +t2 is the total time that elapses from the moment that the object is dropped to the moment that a sound is heard. We have the equation; Total elapsed time √s/4 + s/1100.

Find the distance to the water’s surface if the total time elapsed from dropping a rock to hearing it hit water is 4 seconds.

Answer:

229.94 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

t1 = √s/4

t2 = s/1100

From the question, we understand that

t1 + t2 = 4 seconds

Let y = √s

So,

t1 + t2 = 4 becomes

√s/4 + s/1100 = 4

y/4 + y²/1100 = 4 ------ Solve the fractions

(275y + y²)/1100 = 4

275y + y² = 4 * 1100

275y + y² = 4400 ------- Rearrange

y² + 275y - 4400 = 0 (Quadratic Equation)

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

Where x =

frac{-b+-\sqrt{bx^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

Here a = 1, b = 275 and c = -4400

So,

y = (-275+- √(275² - 4*1*-4400))/2

y = (-275+- √75625 + 17600))/2

y = (-275+- √(93225))/2

y = (-275 +- 305.328)/2

y = (-275 + 305.328)/2 or (-275-305.328)/2

y = 30.328/2 or -580.328/2

y = 15.164 or -290.164 -------Negative is not applicable

So, y = 15.164

But y = √s

So, s = y²

S = 15.164²

s = 229.94 ft

If on a scale drawing 15 feet are represented by 10 inches then a scale of 1/10 inch represents how many feet

GenaCL600 [577]

A scale of $\frac{1}{10}$ inches will represent $\frac{3}{20}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to scale drawing;

15 feet = 10 inches

1 inch = $\frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2}\ feet$

A scale of $\frac{1}{10}$ inch will represent;

Multiplying both sides by

$\frac{1}{10}*1=\frac{3}{2}*\frac{1}{10}\\\\\frac{1}{10}\ inches = \frac{3}{20}\ feet$

A scale of $\frac{1}{10}$ inches will represent $\frac{3}{20}$ feet.

slavikrds [6]

Answer: $50x+250=75x+100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A graphics company charges $50 per hour to create a logo plus $250 for the ownership rights of the logo.

Let x be the number of hours , then the total cost to create the logo plus is given by :-

$C(x)=250+50x$

A private contractor charges $75 per hour to develop a logo plus a $100 supply fee.

The total cost to develop logo plus is given by :-

$c(x)=100+75x$

The equation to represent the costs would be the same is given by :_

$C(x)=c(x)\\\Rightarrow50x+250=75x+100$
