Juan is three times as old as Gabe and Gabe is six years older than Catherine. If the sum of their ages is 149, how old is each person? Define a variable, write an equation, solve the equation, and answer in a complete sentence. (Remember to clearly show your work on your work page.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Juan = 93 years.

Gabe = 31 years.

Catherine = 25 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Juan = J

Let the age of Gabe = G

Let the age of Catherine = C

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

[tex] J = 3G[/tex] ..........equation 1

[tex] G = C + 6 [/tex] ........equation 2

[tex] J + G + C = 149 [/tex] ........equation 3

We would solve the linear equations by using the substitution method;

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1;

[tex] J = 3(C + 6)[/tex]

[tex] J = 3C + 18[/tex] ........equation 4

Substituting equation 2 and equation 4 into equation 3;

[tex] (3C + 18) + (C + 6) + C = 149 [/tex]

Simplifying the equation, we have;

[tex] 5C + 24 = 149[/tex]

[tex] 5C = 149 - 24[/tex]

[tex] 5C = 125[/tex]

[tex] C = \frac {125}{5}[/tex]

C = 25 years.

To find G; from equation 2

[tex] G = C + 6[/tex]

Substituting the value of "C" into equation 2, we have;

[tex] G = 25 + 6[/tex]

G = 31 years.

To find J; from equation 1

[tex] J = 3G [/tex]

Substituting the value of "G" into equation 1, we have;

[tex] J = 3 * 31[/tex]

J = 93 years.

Therefore, Juan is 93 years old, Gabe is 31 years old and Catherine is 25 years old.

CELL PHONES A Cell phone company is going to build three new towers in a nearby city. The city council has
released s map that shows where the towers will be built. On the map, the distance between towers A and B is 2
centimeters, the distance between towers B and C 3 centimeters, and the distance between towers A and C is 4
centimeters. A technician needs to visit the stes of the three towers, and he has outlined his travel route between
them on a map. The polygon formed by his travel route on the map will be similar to the polygon formed by the
technicians he drives to the three towers. If the actual distance between tower Band tower C is 600 meters, how
for was the technican have to travel to visit all three cell phone towers?

Answers

Answer:

Distance between A ----> B : 2 cm

B ---> C: 3 cm : 600 meters

A----> C: 4 cm

3:600 meters scaled

So its 200 meters per every 1 cm!

From A to B : 400 meters

From B to C : 600 meters

Frok C to A: 800 meters

Therefore we sum 400+600+800= 1800 meters

The second angle of a triangle is 3 times as large as the first angle. The third angle is 30 degrees more than the first angle. Find the measure of the angles.

Answers

Answer:

30-60-90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1st angle:  x

2nd angle:  3x

3rd angle:  x+30

Sum of all angles must be 180 degrees

x + 3x + x + 30 = 180

5x + 30 = 180

5x = 150

x = 30

Consider a function f(x) such that f(5x) =x-5/5x-1. Find f(x) and hence write down the domain of f(x).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x - 25}{5x - 5}[/tex]

Domain: [tex]x \ne 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(5x) = \frac{x - 5}{5x - 1}[/tex]

Required

Determine f(x) and its domain

To determine f(x), we replace 5x with x in f(5x)

So, we have:

[tex]f(5x) = \frac{\frac{5x}{5} - 5}{5x - 1}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\frac{x}{5} - 5}{x - 1}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\frac{x - 25}{5}}{x - 1}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x - 25}{5} * \frac{1}{x-1}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x - 25}{5x - 5}[/tex]

To get the domain, we set the denominator as

[tex]5x - 5 \ne 0[/tex]

[tex]5x \ne 5[/tex]

[tex]x \ne 1[/tex]

157 degrees ... set 4x-5 = x+16 then solve, you should get x=7, plug in 7 for one of the equations and you'll get 23. subtract 23 from 180 and get 157. hope that helped :)

Answer:

157°

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x - 5)° = (x + 16)°.. (vertical angles)

4x - 5 = x + 16

4x - x = 16 + 5

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

(x + 16)° + y ° = 180°...(Linear pair angles)

(7 + 16)° + y° = 180°

23° + y° = 180°

y° = 180° - 23°

y° = 157°
