Mathematics

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

Ethan plotted points E, F, G, H, and I on a number line, as shown below. Which two points that Ethan plotted represent numbers t
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

F and H

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, the location of the points are E = -9, F = -6, G = -2, H = 6, I = 8. The law of additive inverse states that for a number a, its additive inverse is a number that when added to a equals to zero. This number is usually opposite in sign to a and of the same magnitude i.e -a. The law is given as:

a + (-a) = 0

From the points, F is the additive inverse of H, hence:

F + H = 0

6 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0

Hence the two points are F ad H
