Mathematics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Ram: 21, Hari: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following notation. We call:

r = Ram's age at present

h = Hari's age at present

We know that:

- Ram is 9 years older than Hari --> mathematically, this can be written as

r=h+9

- Three years ago, Ram was two times as old as Hari was --> mathematically, this can be written as

r-3=2(h-3)

where (r-3) is Ram's age 3 years ago, while (h-3) is Hari's age 3 years ago

Substituting eq.(1) into eq.(2), we  find:

(h+9)-3=2(h-3)\\h+9-3=2h-6\\h+6=2h-6\\h=12

So, Hari's age is 12; therefore, Ram's age is

r=12+9=21

What would y be if 8x-6y=36
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

\quad y=-\frac{2\left(-2x+9\right)}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 8x from both sides:

8x-6y-8x=36-8x

2. Simplify:

-6y=36-8x

3. Divide both sides by -6

\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{36}{-6}-\frac{8x}{-6}

4. Simplify to get answer

gtnhenbr [62]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular, then it is a rhombus. False, diagonals don't have to be congruent or bisect each other. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect its angles. A kite with all consecutive angles congruent must be a square.

How do i Solve: 3x2−6x−12=0 ?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1 + root 5, 1 - root 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean 3x^2-6x-12=0.

First, note that you can divide both sides by 3. You get:

x^2-2x-4=0

Use the quadratic equation.

x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}

Therefore, x=1 + root 5, 1 - root 5
