1 solutions

Answer 401633 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-14 13:05:15 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Speed of slower train = x
Speed of faster train = x+10.3

Speed of slower train + Speed of faster train = Sum of speeds
x+x+10.3=723.7
2x+10.3=723.7
2x=723.7-10.3
2x=713.4
2x/2=713.4/2
x=356.7


Speed of slower train = x = 356.7
Speed of faster train = x+10.3 = 356.7+10.3=367

In 80 mins...............7 miles
In 80/80 mins............7/80 miles
In 1 mins............7/80 miles
In (32)*1 mins.........(7/80)*(32)miles
In 32 mins.........(7/80)(32)miles
In 32 mins.........(7/5)(2)miles
In 32 mins.........14/5miles
In 32 mins.........2.8miles

Or
In 1 minute keiko runs = 7/80 = 0.0875 miles
In 32 minutes keiko run = 0.875*32 = 2.8 miles

Answer 401416 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-13 13:50:30 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x and y be the two numbers
x+y=2.7
x+y=27/10
10(x+y)=27
10x+10y=27.............(1)

xy=1.8
xy=18/10
x=18/10y...............(2)

Put the value of x from (2) to (1)
10(18/10y)+10y=27
18/y+10y=27
(18+10Y^2)/y=27
18+10Y^2=27y
10y^2-27y+18=0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 10x%5E2%2B-27x%2B18+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-27%29%5E2-4%2A10%2A18=9.

Discriminant d=9 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--27%2B-sqrt%28+9+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-27%29%2Bsqrt%28+9+%29%29%2F2%5C10+=+1.5
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-27%29-sqrt%28+9+%29%29%2F2%5C10+=+1.2

Quadratic expression 10x%5E2%2B-27x%2B18 can be factored:
10x%5E2%2B-27x%2B18+=+10%28x-1.5%29%2A%28x-1.2%29
Again, the answer is: 1.5, 1.2. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+10%2Ax%5E2%2B-27%2Ax%2B18+%29

So
y=1.5 or 1.2

Put the values of y in (1)
10x+10y=27.............(1)
Put y=1.5
10x+10(1.5)=27
10x+15=27
10x=27-15
10x=12
x=12/10
x=1.2

Put the values of y in (1)
10x+10y=27.............(1)
Put y=1.2
10x+10(1.2)=27
10x+12=27
10x=27-12
10x=15
x=15/10
x=1.5
So numbers are 1.2 and 1.5


Check
=====
xy=1.8
(1.2)(1.5)=1.8
1.8=1.8

x+y=2.7
1.2+1.5=2.7
2.7=2.7

1 solutions

Answer 401243 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-12 13:47:10 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Present age of mother = m years old
Present age of father = f years old
Present age of John = j years old

Two years hence
mother will be = m+2 years old
John will be = j+2 years old
Then
mother will be twice his age
m+2=2(j+2)
m+2=2j+4
m=2j+4-2
m=2j+2.................(1)


Five years hence
father will be = f+5 years old
John will be = j+5 years old
Then
father will be thrice his present age
f+5=3(j+5)
f+5=3j+15
f=3j+15-5
f=3j+10..................(2)

the sum of all the three ages is 105
m+j+f=105
Put the value of m and f from (1) and (2) to above equation
2j+2+j+3j+10=105
6j+12=105
6j=105-12
6j=93
6j/6=93/6
j=31/2
Put the value of j in (1)
m=2j+2.................(1)
m=2(31/2)+2
m=31+2
m=33
Put the value of j in (2)
f=3j+10..................(2)
f=3(31/2)+10
f=93/2+10
f=(93+20)/2
f=113/2
f=56.5
Difference b/w parents ages = f-m=56.5-33= 23.5 years.

1 solutions

Answer 401236 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-12 13:19:39 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lauren Purchased adult tickets = x
Lauren Purchased student tickets = 6x
Cost of a Adult ticket = 8.50
Cost of a student ticket = 4.75
Total Cost of all tickets = 111
(Lauren Purchased adult tickets)(Cost of a Adult ticket)+(Lauren Purchased student tickets)(Cost of a student ticket) = Total Cost of all tickets
(x)(8.50)+(6x)(4.75)=111
8.50x+28.50=111
37x=111
37x/37=111/37
x=3
Lauren Purchased adults tickets = x = 3
Lauren Purchased students tickets = 6x = 6*3 = 18


Check
======
Total Cost of Adults tickets = 8.50*3=25.50
Total Cost of students tickets= 4.75*18=85.50
Total Cost = 25.5+85.5=111

1 solutions

Answer 401045 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-11 02:21:41 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Present age of Paul = p years old
Present age of Wendy = w years old

Paul is 11 years younger than Wendy.
w=p+11............(1)
In 10 years,
Paul will be = p+10 years old
Wendy will be = w+10 years old
Then
Wendy will be twice as old as Paul
w+10=2(p+10)
w+10=2p+20
w=2p+20-10
w=2p+10................(2)
Put the value of w from (1) to (2)
p+11=2p+10
p-2p=10-11
-p=-1
p=1
Put the value of p in (1)
w=p+11............(1)
w=1+11
w=12

Present age of Paul = p = 1 year old
Present age of Wendy = w = 12 years old

Rectangles/636311: A rectangle 15cmx30cm is increased on all sides by the same amount. It's area is increased by 144cm^2. By how much is each dimension increased?
1 solutions

Answer 400960 by Maths68(1474) About Me  on 2012-08-10 13:59:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Increase on all sides = x

Area of rectangle = length * width
A=L*W
A=15*30
A=450
After Increase
A=450+144
A=594
Length = 30+x
Width = 15+x
594=(15+x)(30+x)
594=450+15x+30x+4x^2
594=450+45x+x^2
594-450=45x+x^2
144=45x+x^2
x^2+45x-144=0
x^2+48x-3x-144=0
x(x+48)-3(x+48)=0
(x-3)(x+48)=0
x-3=0 or x+48=0
x=3 or x=-48 (unacceptable)
x=3


Each dimension increased by 3cm
Length = 30+x = 30+3 = 33cm
Width = 15+x = 15+3 = 18cm

-4f/-4=-164/-4
f=41
Put the value of f in (1)
j=58-f.............(1)
j=58-41
j=17



Present age of Julies = j = 17 years old
Present age of Father = f = 41 years old

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Present age of Katie = k years old

Six years ago
Katie was = k-6 years old
In Six years
Katie will be = k+6 years old
The square of katie's age six year ago is equal to her age in six years time
(k-6)^2=k+6
k^2-12k+36=k+6
k^2-13k+30=0
Solve for K
k^2-10k-3k+30=0
k(k-10)-3(k-10)=0
(k-3)(k-10)=0
k-3=0 or k-10=0
k=3 (unacceptable) or k=10
k=10

Present age of Katie = k = 10 years old

New Per credit compensation = Old compensation + increase%
New Per credit compensation = 950+(950)(4/100)
New Per credit compensation = 950+(950)(1/25)
New Per credit compensation = 950+38
New Per credit compensation = 988

8y-1=x..............(1)
3x=2y...............(2)
Substitute the value of x from (1) to (2)
3(8y-1)=2y
24y-3=2y
24y-2y=3
22y=3
22y/22=3/22
y=3/22
Put the value of y in (2)
3x=2(3/22)
3x=3/11
3x/3=(3/11)/3
x=1/11
x,y=1/11,3/22

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Adults tickets sold = x
Children tickets sold= 3x
Total Amount = $700
(Cost of a children ticket)(Children tickets sold)+(Cost of an adult ticket)( Adult tickets sold)= Total Amount
3(3x)+5(x)=700
9x+5x=700
14x=700
14x/14=700/14
x=50


Adults tickets sold = x = 50
Children tickets sold= 3x = 3*50 = 150



Check
=====
3*150+5*50=700
450+250=700
700=700

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let
Present age of of Father = f years old
Present age of Son = s years old
Father is 3 times as old as his son
f=3s...............(1)
12 years ago
father was = f-12 years old
Son was = s-12 years old
Then
f-12=6(s-12)
f-12=6s-72
f=6s-72+12
f=6s-60..............(2)
Compare (1) and (2)
3s=6s-60
3s-6s=-60
-3s=-60
-3s/-3=-60/-3
s=20
Put the value of s in (1)
f=3s
f=3(20)
f=60
Present age of of Father = f = 60 years old
Present age of Son = s = 20 years old
