To solve this we can use systems of linear equations. (two equations)

a is avlins age

e is elgas age

a  + 13 = e ( simplifys to a - e = 13 )

a  + e = 71

add

a - e =   -13

a + e = 71

2a = 58

a = 29  (alvin is 29 years old)

to find elgas age... substitute a into an original equation

(29) + 13 = e

elga is 42 years old

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+13)=71

2x+13=71

2x=71-13

2x=58

x=29 (alvin)

71-29=42 (elga)

Find the value of x if 9^1/2 • 9^1/2 = x^√81
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(√9)^2x-1/2 = 1/81

3^2x-1/2 = 1/(3)⁴. (as √9 = 3)

3^2x-1/2 = 3^-⁴. (as 1/a^m = a^-m)

as base are equal exponents are equal

so 3 gets cancelled out

2x-1/2 = -4

(4x-1)/2 = -4

4x-1 = -8

x = -7/4

hope this helps

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the factors of 18 and 35

Breaking into prime factors

18 = 2*9 = 2*3*3

35 = 5*7

There are no common factors so the greatest common factor is 1
