Answer:

1. The sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

2. Presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

3. [tex]Distance = 3682km[/tex]

4. Possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

5. [tex]L < 38m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has lots of missing details. See the comment section for complete question

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Quadrilateral

Sides: Consecutive

[tex]Perimeter = 160[/tex]

Let one of the sides be x. The other sides will be x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

So, the perimeter is:

[tex]Perimeter = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]160 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]160 -1-2-3= x+x+x+x[/tex]

[tex]154= 4x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]38.5 = x[/tex]

[tex]x =38.5[/tex]

So, the sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

Solving (b):

Given

Presently: [tex]Inzo = 10 + Miz[/tex]

Five years ago: [tex]Miz - 5= \frac{1}{3} * (Inzo-5)[/tex] --- (Missing from the question)

Required: Determine their present ages

Substitute [tex]10 + Miz[/tex] for Inzo in the second equation

[tex]Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (10 + Miz - 5)[/tex]

[tex]Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (Miz + 5)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3Miz - 15 = Miz + 5[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]3Miz -Miz = 15 + 5[/tex]

[tex]2Miz= 20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]Miz = 10[/tex]

Substitute 10 for Miz in [tex]Inzo = 10 + Miz[/tex]

[tex]Inzo = 10 + 5[/tex]

[tex]Inzo = 15[/tex]

So presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

Solving (3):

Given

Express Train:

[tex]Speed = 100kph[/tex]

[tex]Time = t[/tex]

Local Train:

[tex]Speed = 45kph[/tex]

[tex]Time = t + 45[/tex]

Required: Determine the distance between A and B

Distance is calculated as:

[tex]Distance = Speed * Time[/tex]

For the express train:

[tex]Distance = 100 * t[/tex]

For the local train

[tex]Distance = 45 * (45 + t)[/tex]

Distance between both stations are equal; So,

[tex]100 * t = 45 * (45 + t)[/tex]

[tex]100 t = 2025 + 45t[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]100 t -45t= 2025[/tex]

[tex]55t= 2025[/tex]

Divide by 55

[tex]t = 36.82[/tex]

Substitute 36.82 for t in [tex]Distance = 100 * t[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 100 * 36.82[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 3682km[/tex]

Solving (4):

Let the even numbers be: n and n + 2.

Sum greater than 24: [tex]n + n + 2 > 24[/tex]

Sum less than 60: [tex]n + n + 2 < 60[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n + n + 2 > 24[/tex]

[tex]2n + 2 > 24[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]2n > 24-2[/tex]

[tex]2n > 22[/tex]

[tex]n > 11[/tex]

[tex]n + n + 2 < 60[/tex]

[tex]2n + 2< 60[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]2n < 60-2[/tex]

[tex]2n < 58[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]n<29[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n > 11[/tex] and [tex]n < 29[/tex]

So, possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

Solving (5):

Given

[tex]Perimeter < 152m[/tex]

Required: Find the possible lengths

Let the length be L.

Perimeter is calculated as:

[tex]Perimeter =4 * L[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter =4 L[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]4L < 152m[/tex]

Divide through by 4

[tex]L < 38m[/tex]

Hence, length is less than 38m (e.g. 37m)
