Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let m = Matt's age

let a = Andy's

:

Write an equation for each statement

:

Matt is four years younger than twice his cousin Andy’s age.

m = 2a - 4

The sum of their ages is greater than 35.

m + a > 35

What is the youngest age that Andy can be?

replace m with (2a-4) from the 1st statement

2a - 4 + a > 35

3a > 35 + 4

a > 39/3

a > 13

least integer has to be a = 14

:

:

Check, find m

m = 2(14) - 4

m = 24

24 + 14 = 38 greater than 35

If a = 13

m = 2(13) - 4

m = 22

22 + 13 = 35 which is not greater than 35

Which graph represents the function f (x) = StartFraction 4 Over x EndFraction?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

2nd graph (image)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function to graph is:

f(x)=\frac{4}{x}

It follows the general pattern of the function:  f(x)=\frac{1}{x}, which is general shape and in 1st and 3rd quadrants. So, we can eliminate 3rd and 4th choices (because of quadrants).

The answer is either 1st, or 2nd graph.

Now, we simply can check a point in both.

lets take x = 4, so the function would be:

f(4) = 4/4 = 1

Hence, point is:

(4,1)

The first graph doesn't go through this point. The second graph does.

hence, we can successfully choose the 2nd graph as our answer.

How many odd integers are there between 101 and 999 have distinct digits?
guapka [62]
Every number will have only 3 digits. In the ones place, there are 5 choices. For every choice of digit made in the ones place, there are 8 possible choices for the hundreds place (you can choose from 1-9, omitting whatever is used in the ones place), and there are 8 possible choices for the tens place (you can choose from 0-9, omitting whatever has already been used elsewhere).

So there are 7\cdot8\cdot8=320 such numbers.

Find the x-intercepts for the parabola defined by the equation below. y = 3x2 + 18x + 15
Readme [11.4K]
Using quadratic formula
x = [-18 +-sq root (324 -4 *3*15)] / 2*3
x = [-18 +-sq root (144)]/6
x1 = (-18 + 12) / 6 = -1
x2 = (-18 -12) / 6 = -30/6 = -5
