Answer:
r =.3 is wrong for 2x = -6. you divide -6/2 which = -3 so r = -3
3
If you subtract for 4 from 7 in the first expression, then h is less than or equal to 3.
If you subtract 1 from 3 in the second expression then h is greater than 2.
Thus the only value of h possible is 3.
The thing that is true about -5 and 5 is the answer is zero.
It would be in a state of loss because the units manufactured neither reaches nor exceeds the break even point.
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
