<h2>Systems of Equations Word Problems</h2>

To solve systems of equations word problems, we can delegate certain variables to subjects mentioned in the word problem. From there, we can form equations based on the given values.

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

Let <em>a</em> be the older sibling's age and <em>b</em> be the younger sibling's age.

We're given:

  • <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 55 years old
  • <em>b</em> + 9 years = <em>a</em>

<em />

All we've done so far is translate the given sentences into equations. Now, we have to solve for <em>b</em>, which is the age of the youngest sibling. Solve using substitution:

a+b=55\\(b+9)+b=55\\b+9+b=55\\2b+9=55\\2b=46\\b=23

Therefore, the younger sibling is 23 years old.

<h2>Answer</h2>

23 years old.

Answer:

A: -1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert -1/3 to -2/6 by multiplying -1/3 by 2/2. As we know, 5-2 is 3. That makes 3/6. 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2. That means it has to be A.

Find the sum. Write your answer in standard form.
jeyben [28]
(4x3+2x+6)+(2x3-x2+2)

Final result :

6x3 - x2 + 2x + 8
Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2". 2 more similar replacement(s).

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(((4•(x3))+2x)+6)+((2x3-x2)+2)
Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

((22x3 + 2x) + 6) + (2x3 - x2 + 2)
Step 3 :

Checking for a perfect cube :

3.1 6x3-x2+2x+8 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

3.2 Factoring: 6x3-x2+2x+8

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1: 2x+8
Group 2: 6x3-x2

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: (x+4) • (2)
Group 2: (6x-1) • (x2)
