Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel, 4 years ago, Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel. How old is Kevin

Answers

Answer 1
K = Kevin's age
D = Daniel's age

K = 3D

K - 4 = 5(D - 4)

Plug in 3D for the K values in the second equation.

3D - 4 = 5(D - 4)   Use the Distributive Property
3D - 4 = 5D - 20   Add 4 to both sides
     3D = 5D - 16     Subtract 5D from both sides
    -2D = -16            Divide both sides by -2
       D = 8 
 Now, plug that D value into the original equation.

K = 3D    Plug in the D value
K = 3(8)   Multiply
K = 24

4 years ago, Daniel would've been 4 and Kevin would be 20, so Kevin would've been 5 times as old as Daniel.  And 8 x 3 = 24. Therefore, the answer to your query is that Kevin is 24 years old. Hope this helped and have a great day!
Answer 2

By using equations to represent the relationship between Kevin and Daniel's ages, we can determine that Kevin is 24 years old.

Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel. Let's denote Kevin's age as K and Daniel's age as D. From the information given, we can form two equations:

K = 3D

K - 4 = 5(D - 4)

3D - 4= 5D -20

16 = 2D

D = 8

K = 24

Solving these equations simultaneously gives the age of Kevin, therefore, Kevin is 24 years old.

Answers

The answer I got is 150%
90/15= $6   
6*365= $ 2191.5 
2191.5 / 1460 * 100=150%


Answer:

The answer is 150%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of pay day loan = $1460

Also given is that the payday loan for $1460 due in 15 days that charges a $90 fee.

Per day it will charge = [tex]\frac{90}{15}=6[/tex] dollars

A candle is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of one half an inch per hour. Write an equation to represent the situation.

Answers

Answer: [tex]y=6-0.5x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : The initial height of candle = 6 inches

Amount of candle burn each hour = one half an inch per hour.

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ inch per hour}[/tex]

Now , the height of candle = ( initial height ) -( Rate of burning) (Numb er of hours)

Let y be the height of the candle after x hours.

Then, the equation to represent the situation will be :

[tex]y=6-\dfrac{1}{2}x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=6-0.5x[/tex]

The equation to represent the situation will be, [tex]y=6-\frac{1}{2} \times x[/tex].

Given A candle is 6 inches tall.

The candle burns at a rate of one half an inch per hour.

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of hours candle burn and [tex]y[/tex] be the height of the candle after [tex]x[/tex] hours.

Now , the height of candle = ( initial height ) -( Rate of burning) (Number of hours)

W = 3x + 7y solve for y

To solve for y, we need to isolate it. Start by moving all of the values on the side the y is on that don't have y to the other side (kind of confusing the way I said it). By that, I mean subtract 3x from both sides:

W = 3x + 7y
W - 3x = 7y

Now, divide both sides by 7 to find the value of y:

W - 3x = 7y
(W - 3x)/7 = y

why is iron usually made into alloy for commercial uses?
A iron is too lightweight of a metal
B iron is a scare natural resource
C iron reacts easily with air and water
D iron by itself is to hard

answer fast please

Answers

Iron rusts as C states.
Answer is C.

Iron is typically alloyed for commercial uses because it reacts easily with air and water, leading to corrosion. By creating alloys such as steel with added elements like carbon and chromium, iron becomes more robust and rust-resistant, lending itself to a wider range of applications.

The reason iron is usually made into an alloy for commercial uses is that iron reacts easily with air and water, which is option C. Commercial alloys of iron, like steel, are produced by adding elements such as carbon and metals like manganese, chromium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium. These elements create an alloy that is more resistant to corrosion (rusting), and they can be engineered to have different properties suitable for specific applications. For example, stainless steel contains chromium which helps in forming a protective oxide layer on the surface, thereby protecting the base iron from rusting.

While wrought iron, which is a commercially pure iron containing less than 0.2% carbon, is quite resistant to rust and is malleable and ductile, it has largely been replaced by mild steel. Mild steel, though not as corrosion-resistant as true wrought iron, is more cost-effective and widely available. Therefore, the commercial use of iron predominantly involves its transformation into alloys that benefit from enhanced strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

y = 4x + 4 + 4

y = 4x + 8               << the equation.

hope this helped, God bless!
Final answer:

To find the equation of the line passing through the point (-1, 4) with slope 4, we use the point-slope form. Substituting the values into the formula, we find the equation to be y = 4x + 8.

Explanation:

In the given question, we have a line that passes through the point (-1, 4) and has a slope of 4.

To find the equation of this line, we can use the point-slope form, which is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.

Substituting the values into the formula, we get y - 4 = 4(x - (-1)). Simplifying further, we have y - 4 = 4x + 4. Rearranging the equation, we find the equation of the line to be y = 4x + 8.

The answer is 25.

writing this in equation form you have 160% times X = 40

so 160% * x =40

160% as a decimal = 1.60

 so 1.60 * x = 40

to find x divide both sides by 1.6

40 /1.6 = 25

Mr. Rodriguez is packing bags of snacks for his children’s lunchboxes. If he has 20 blueberries and 30 grapes, what is the maximum number of bags of snacks that he can pack so that each bag has the same number of blueberries and grapes?

Answers

The common factor of 20 blueberries and 30 grapes is 5. So if you divide the blueberries and grapes you should get 4 blueberries and 6 grapes in each bag. In short, 5 bags.
If each bag has 4 blueberries and 6 grapes.

With equal distribution of blueberries and grapes, Mr. Rodriguez can pack maximum of 10 bags of snacks.

What is ratio?

Ratio is a quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

Given is that Mr. Rodriguez is packing bags of snacks for his children’s lunchboxes and for that he has 20 blueberries and 30 grapes.

Now, we have -

Number of blueberries = n[b] = 20 blueberries

Number of grapes = n[g] = 30

For equal distribution, there should be a ratio of → n[b]/n[g] = 20/30 = 2/3

Or we can write it as 2 : 3. This means that in each box there should be 2 blueberries and 3 grapes.

The maximum number of bags [x] that Mr. Rodriguez can pack can be calculated as -

2x + 3x = 20 + 30

5x = 50

x = 10

Therefore, with equal distribution of blueberries and grapes, Mr. Rodriguez can pack 10 bags of snacks.

1.2 divided by .3 in the model

Answers

Final answer:

The solution for the division of 1.2 by .3 is 4. This can be visualized by considering how many times .3 fits into 1.2, or by dividing equivalent decimals.

Explanation:

To solve the problem 1.2 divided by .3, simply divide the numbers as you would normally. For this problem, 1.2 divided by .3 equals 4. This is because the fundamental basis of division is how many times one number fits into another. In this case, .3 'fits' into 1.2, four times.

Alternatively, you can think of this process in three steps: First, convert 1.2 to an equivalent decimal of 12 tenths. Then, divide that by .3 (or 3 tenths). The result is 4 because 3 tenths 'fits' into 12 tenths, four times.

Another way to cross-verify your result is by multiplying the divisor (.3) by the quotient (4). The product should be equal to the dividend (1.2). Here, .3 multiplied by 4 equals 1.2, hence confirming the correctness of the answer.

To divide 1.2 by 0.3 in a model, first convert the decimal numbers to fractions. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the answer, which is 4.

Explanation:

To divide 1.2 by 0.3 in a model, we can use a similar approach to the example given. Let's first convert the decimal numbers into fractions by using the place value of the decimal places. 1.2 is equivalent to 12/10 and 0.3 is equivalent to 3/10.

Next, we can set up a division problem where the numerator is 12 and the denominator is 3, giving us 12 ÷ 3. This can be simplified to 4, so 1.2 divided by 0.3 in the model is equal to 4.

Therefore, the answer to 1.2 divided by 0.3 in the model is 4.
