Answer:
(- 3, - 6 ) , (1, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = 4x ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 2x → (1)
x² + y = 3 → (2)
Substitute y = 2x into (2)
x² + 2x = 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x² + 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Substitute theses values into (2) for corresponding values of y
x = - 3 : y = 2(- 3) = - 6 ⇒ (- 3, - 6 )
x = 1 : y = 2(1) = 2 ⇒ (1, 2 )
Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.
We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C
We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols:
Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:
Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.
As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.
Answer:
I think -3.5 is the right answer
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are two numbers and you're trying to find the other one, you can subtract 64 and 24, you would get 40
Check; 40 + 24 = 64
