Answer:
Bryson’s age is 14 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> Bryson’s age
we know that
Bryson’s age multiplied by 3 minus 4 must be equal to 38
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
[tex]3x-4=38[/tex]
solve for x
Adds 4 both sides
[tex]3x=38+4[/tex]
[tex]3x=42[/tex]
Divide by 3 both sides
[tex]x=14[/tex]
therefore
Bryson’s age is 14 years

To write the explicit rule, we need some information about the following series:
3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...
In Blank 1: a1 =
In Blank 2: r =
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the common ratio r between consecutive terms of the sequence
r = 6 ÷ 3 = 12 ÷ 6 = 24 ÷ 12 = 48 ÷ 24 = 2
The explicit rule for a geometric sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁[tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 3 and r = 2, thus
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3[tex](2)^{n-1}[/tex] ← explicit rule

[tex]\frac{5*2}{6*2}=\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5*3}{6*3}=\frac{15}{18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
*Rewriting the question with Retrieved missing information:
15. Mr. Clements painted his barn for hours in the morning. He painted his barn [tex]3\frac{3}{5}[/tex] hours in the morning. He painted the barn for [tex]5\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hours in the afternoon.Select True or False for each statement.
15a. A common denominator of the mixed numbers is 20.
15b. The amount of time spent painting in the morning can be rewritten as [tex]3\frac{15}{20}[/tex]
15c. Mr. Clements spent [tex]2\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

16. Tom exercised:
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
hour on Monday and
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
hour on Tuesday. Part A. Complete the calculations below to write equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
15a) True
Turning the Mixed Numbers into Improper ones:
He painted the his barn:
[tex]3\frac{3}{5}=\frac{18}{5}[/tex] Keep the denominator, and for the numerator multiply the denominator 5 by 3 and add 3 = 18. (In the morning).
[tex]5\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}[/tex] (In the afternoon)
The Prime factorization [tex]\frac{23}{4},\frac{18}{5}[/tex] help us to obtain the common denomination, i.e. 20
15b) False
This is a matter of simplification. In this mixed number, the fraction can be simplified this way:
[tex]3\frac{15}{20}=3\frac{15:5}{20:5}\Rightarrow 3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
15c) True
Subtracting the working hours, knowing the common denominator by prime factorization is 20.
For Mixed Numbers:
[tex]5\frac{3}{4}-3\frac{3}{5}=5\frac{15}{20}-3\frac{12}{20}=2\frac{3}{20}[/tex]
For the same mixed numbers turned into improper fractions:
[tex]\frac{23}{4}-\frac{18}{5}=\frac{115-72}{20}=\frac{43}{20}[/tex]
Notice that:
[tex]2\frac{3}{20}==\frac{43}{20}=2.15[/tex]
16A
Equivalent fractions are fractions multiplied by a same constant, on the numerator and denominator:
[tex]\frac{4*2}{5*2}=\frac{8}{25}=\frac{4*3}{5*3}=\frac{12}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5*2}{6*2}=\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5*3}{6*3}=\frac{15}{18}[/tex]
15a is False as a common denominator isn't clear; 15b is False because the time in the morning is undefined; 15c is True assuming the morning was 3 hours. 16 needs further clarification.
15a ⇒False. To find the common denominator, we need to look at the fractions given. If there are fractions involved, more context is needed to validate this statement. Please provide relevant fractions.15b ⇒False. There is no concrete information given about the exact time spent in the morning to confirm this statement. If he spent 5 hours in the afternoon and the total time spent isn't specified, we cannot conclude the morning time is 3 hours.15c ⇒True. Since he painted for 5 hours in the afternoon, and we assume the morning time to be 3 hours (as per previous interpretations), Mr. Clements painted 2 hours longer in the afternoon (5 - 3 = 2).So, correct answer is 15a. False 15b. False 15c.True

A wholesaler buys pairs of sunglasses
for $5.50 each. He then marks up the
wholesale cost 80% to create a retail
price for his customers. Customers must
then pay an additional 7% tax on the
retail price. What is the total cost of a
pair of sunglasses to the wholesaler's
customers, including tax, rounded to
the nearest penny?
A customer will pay $10.59, including sales tax, for a pair of sunglasses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Purchase price of sunglasses = $5.50
Mark up = 80%
Amount of mark up = 80% of purchase price
Amount of mark up = [tex]\frac{80}{100}*5.50=0.80*5.50[/tex]
Amount of mark up = $4.40
Retail price = Purchase price+mark up
Retail price = 5.50+4.40 = $9.90
Sales tax = 7% of retail price
Sales tax = [tex]\frac{7}{100}*9.90=0.07*9.90[/tex]
Sales tax = $0.69
Total paid by customer = retail price + sales tax
Total paid by customer = 9.90 + 0.69 = $10.59
A customer will pay $10.59, including sales tax, for a pair of sunglasses.

A line contains the points (4, 2) and (0, -1). What is the equation of the line? Show your work.
Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{4}x-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m - slope
b - y-intercept (0, b)
We have two points (4, 2) and (0, -1) → b = -1.
Calculate the slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{-1-2}{0-4}=\dfrac{-3}{-4}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
Finally:
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x-1[/tex]
The equation of the line that passes through the points (4, 2) and (0, -1) is y = 0.75x + 1.
Explanation:The subject of this question is Mathematics, and it involves finding the equation of a line given two points. To find the equation of the line that contains the points (4, 2) and (0, -1), we first find the slope (m) using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
Substituting the given points into the formula, we get m = (-1 - 2) / (0 - 4) = -3 / -4 = 0.75.
We then use the point-slope form of a linear equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1), and substituting m = 0.75, x1 = 4, and y1 = 2, we get the equation of our line as: y - 2 = 0.75(x - 4), which simplifies to y = 0.75x + 1.

The Neolithic Revolution allowed people to live in permanent settlements.
Explanation:
The Neolithic Revolution is the phase of transition in which many of the human cultures in the world shifted their lifestyle to permanent settlement and agriculture from hunting and gathering.
This era is also named as First Agricultural Revolution or Neolithic Demographic Transition. The agricultural practices led the cultures to develop the knowledge of domestication of animals and they began to observe and experiment with the plants (to learn or know how they grow and develop).
Neolithic period is named as revolution because this period changed the way of life of most of the communities. This first occurred in so-called "Fertile Crescent" or Mesopotamia (modern Iraq).
The Neolithic Revolution allowed people to live in permanent settlements.
Answer: Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
This phase 'Neolithic Revolution' witnessed the change in the behavior of the people, notably the development of habits like hunting and gathering of animals and fruits.Although it is a development of habits, people refer to it as a revolution because it changed the lifestyle of the communities.It dates back to prehistoric times which is said to have happened almost nine thousand years ago. Thereby concluding that, the Neolithic revolution allowed people to live in permanent settlements.Can u please help me wit these 2 please I don't get it...

Which of the following statements is true about the values of the coordinate points in a figure when the figure is reflected over the y-axis
Answer:
they will have the same y-coordinate from the point it was reflected because it is reflected over the y-axis.
but you didn't provide the following statements, so i do not know.
The values of the coordinates will be same for y ordinate but will be negated for x abscissa , which means (x,y) will become (-x, y)
How does the reflection works?When the graph is reflected over y axis, then all the x coordinates of all points become negation of themselves. It is because those x coordinates who were on the positive sides now are on the negative sides and those who were on the negative side are now on the positive side.
Thus:
(x,y) turns to (-x,y)
Thus, the values of the coordinates will be same for y ordinate but will be negated for x abscissa , which means (x,y) will become (-x, y)
