<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.

Number of chairs needed more ;

Take the square root of 5100 ;the round to the next whole number :

B.) For number of chairs to be removed ;

Take the square root of 5100 and round down to the whole number.

Hence,

A.) = √5100 = 71.414 = 72

72² - 5100 = 84

B.) 5100 = 71.414 = 71

How to find the area of each face of a prism
tatiyna

If the face is a square, then (l*l)

If the face is a triangle, then (b*h)(1/2)

If the face is a rectangle, then (l*w)

If the face is a circle, then (r²)(3.14)

You can then add all these faces up to get the total surface area of the prism.
