Answer 184227 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-12-27 10:19:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!M+F=34 OR F=34-M
(M+4)^2=(F+4)
M^2+8M+16=34-M+4
M^2+8M+M+16-34-4=0
M^2+9M-22=0
(M+11)(M-2)=0
M-2=0
M=2 YEARS OLD IS mINGFA'S AGE NOW.
2+F=34
F=34-2
F=32 AGE OF THE FATHER NOW.
PROOF:
(2+4)^2=32+4

Answer 184180 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-12-26 16:40:18 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!x-y=15 multiply this equation by -2 & add.
3x-2y=58
-2x+2y=-30
----------------
x=28 ans. for the larger number.
28-y=15
-y=15-28
-y=-13
y=13 ans for the smaller number.
Proof:
3*28-2*13=58
84-26=58
58=58

Answer 184106 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-12-25 19:36:18 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!4s+3p=85.50 multiply this equation by 3.
3s+5p=115.00 multiply this equation by -4 & add them.
12s+9p=256.50
-12s-20p=-460
-------------------
-11p=-203.5
p=-203.50/-11
p=$18.50 is the price of each pair of pants.
4s+3*18.50=85.50
4s+55.50=85.50
4s=85.50-55.50
4s=30
s=30/4
s=$7.50 is the price of each shirt.
Proof:
3*7.50+5*18.50=115.00
22.50+92.50=115.00
115.00=115.00

You can put this solution on YOUR website!.30x+.22(80-x)=.25*80
.30x+17.6-.22x=20
.08x=20-17.6
.08x=2.4
x=2.4/.08
x=30 ml. of 30% solution is used.
80-30=50 ml. of 22% solution is used.
Proof:
.30*30+.22*50=.25*80
9+11=20

Functions/252224: Find the y intercept of the line through A(1, 2) and B(-3, -4)? 1 solutions
Answer 184059 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-12-25 09:50:20 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!First we find the slope.
Slope=(y2-y1/(x2-x1)=(-4-2)/(-3-1)=-6/-4=1.5.
Y=mX+b
2=1.5*1+b
2=1.5=b
b=2-1.5
b=.5 ans. for the Y intercept.
Y=1.5X+.5
 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, 1.5x +.5).

2 INCHES FROM THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER, CUT DOWN 1.5 INCHES.
NOW CUT 2 INCHES TO THE RIGHT, THEN 1.5 INCHES DOWN, 2 INCHES TO THE RIGHT & 1.5 INCHES DOWN.
NOW SLIDE THE RIGHT HAND PIECE UP 1.5 INCHES & 2 INCHES TO THE LEFT.
YOU NOW HAVE A 6 BY 6 INCH SQUARE.
