--------------------------------------------------
Define x :
--------------------------------------------------
Let Cheryl be x years old.
Cheryl = x
Lisa = x + 6

--------------------------------------------------
In two years time:
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x + 2
Lisa = x + 8

--------------------------------------------------
Lisa will be twice as old as Cheryl :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)

--------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
x + 8 = 2x + 4
x = 4

--------------------------------------------------
Find their age :
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x = 4
Lisa = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Lisa is 10 years old now.

Where is the solution located on a graph a system of equations?
geniusboy [140]
For a system of two variables and two equations, each equation will be a linear graph, and where the lines intersect is the solution as an ordered pair (x,y). If the lines don’t intersect (they’re parallel) so there is no unique solution.

Answer:

  (c)  (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point E partitions both the x-distance and the y-distance in the ratio 2 : 1. That is, for either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates, ...

  CE : ED = 2 : 1

Try the answers with the x-coordinates.

  CE : ED = (1 -(-1)) : (5 - 1) = 2 : 4 . . . . incorrect

  CE : ED = (-3 -(-1)) : (5 -(-3)) = -2 : 8 . . . . incorrect

  CE : ED = (3 -(-1)) : (5 -3) = 4 : 2 = 2 : 1 . . . . correct

  CE : ED = (-1 -(-1)) : (5 -(-1)) = 0 : 6 . . . . incorrect

The only viable choice is (3, 3).

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

For a partitioning of m : n, the desired point is ...

  E = (n×C +m×D)/(m+n)

For partitioning of 2 : 1, the desired point is ...

  E = (1×(-1, -3) + 2×(5, 6))/(2+1) = (-1+10, -3 +12)/3

  E = (3, 3)
