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.

Answer: x = 1/2

=========================================================

Explanation:

Recall that quadratic form is ax^2+bx+c.

So we need an x^2 term followed by an x term, then a constant at the end.

It may not look it, but the given equation is nearly in quadratic form.

Rewrite 9^(2x) as (9^x)^2

We get this equivalent equation (9^x)^2 - 2*(9^x) - 3 = 0

From here, let's make w = 9^x. Replace every copy of '9^x' with 'w' and we end up with this new simpler equation: w^2 - 2w - 3 = 0

From here we can use the quadratic formula or factor. I'll factor.

w^2 - 2w - 3 = 0

(w - 3)(w + 1) = 0

w-3 = 0 or w+1 = 0

w = 3 or w = -1

---------------------

Now we use these values of w to find x

If w = 3, then,

w = 9^x

3 = 9^x

log(3) = log(9^x)

log(3) = x*log(9)

x = log(3)/log(9)

x = log(3)/log(3^2)

x = log(3)/(2*log(3))

x = 1/2

At the last step, we have the log(3) terms cancel.

Repeat for w = -1

w = 9^x

-1 = 9^x

log(-1) = log(9^x)

We run into a problem. The log of any negative number is not a real number output. In other words, 9^x is never negative. Raising any positive number to a real number output leads the result to be positive. Take a look at the graph of y = 9^x to confirm this.

In short, w = -1 is extraneous so it doesn't lead to any x value solution.

So only w = 3 is useful.

Ultimately, the only solution is x = 1/2.

I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly

explain it in the comments

Step-by-step explanation:

If what I think the question is asking is correct, theres a 70% sale on the full price which is $245.89

70% of 245.89 is 172.123, so now you subtract the sale(172.123) from the original price(245.89)

245.89 - 172.123 = 73.767
