Plug in the values from the set {12, 15, 18, 19} to find the value of x. The value that holds true for the equation is . So, Jenny is years old and her mother is years old.

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x + 2x + 5 = 62

where,

x = Jenny’s age

Now the following cases occured

a.  

x = 12

Now put the x value to the above equation

12 + 2(12) + 5 = 62

12 + 24 + 5 = 62

41 = 62

It is not equaled so the Jenny age is not 12

b.

x = 15

Now put the x value to the above equation

12 + 2(15) + 5 = 62

15 + 30 + 5 = 62

50 = 62

It is not equaled so the Jenny age is not 15

c.  

x = 18

Now put the x value to the above equation

18 + 2(18) + 5 = 62

18 + 36 + 5 = 62

59 = 62

It is not equaled so the Jenny age is not 12

d.

x = 19

Now put the x value to the above equation

19 + 2(19) + 5 = 62

19 + 38 + 5 = 62

62 = 62

It is equaled so the Jenny age is 19

Now the mother age is

as we know that

x + y = 62

19 + y = 62

y = 62 - 19

= 43

Also it proved that if we doubles the jenny age i.e 38 and then add 5 so the total is 43 i.e. equivalent to her mother age

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

87%
