John is 5 years older than Mary. In 10 years, twice John's age decreased by Mary's age is 35, and John's age will be twice Mary'

s current age. Find their ages now. If x is Mary's age now and y is John's age now, which system of equations could not be used to solve the problem?
1. y = x + 5 and y + 10 = 2x
2. y = x + 5 and 2(y + 10)-(x + 10) = 35
3. y = x + 5 and 2(y + 10) = x

J=m+5, 2(j+10)-(m+10)=35 

So number 2. is the correct answer...

Use the value of j=m+5 in the second equation to get:

2(m+5+10)-m-10=35

2m+30-m-10=35

m+20=35

m=15, and j=m+5=20

So Mary is currently 15 years old and John is 20 years old.

Answer:

Option 2 is correct that could be used to solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Mary is x

And present age of John is y  

Since, john is 5 years older than Mary hence, we get

y=x+5

In 10 years twice john's age is decreased by Mary's age by 35

2(y+10)-(x+10)=35

hence, Option 2 is correct which could be use to solve the problem.

x2y - 2xy - 24y = y(x2 - 2x - 24) What is the completely factored form of x2y – 2xy – 24y? (xy + 4)(x – 6) xy(x + 4)(x – 6) y(x
likoan [24]

we are given

x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x^2-2x-24)

now, we can factor out right side term

x^2-2x-24=x^2-6x+4x-6*4

x^2-2x-24=(x-6)(x+4)

now, we can plug back

and we get

so,

x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x-6)(x+4).............Answer

Find the angles y and x​
Katen [24]

Answer:

x = 67

y = 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles in a triangle is supplementary,

x + 90 + 23 = 180

x + 113 = 180

x = 180 - 113

x = 67

y = ?

180 - 67 / 2

= 133 / 2

= 66.5

y + 66.5 = 90

y = 90 - 66.5

y = 23.5

Luna entered a raffle for a new pair of running shoes. She purchased 20 tickets and was told that she had a 20% chance of winnin
xenn [34]

Answer:

<h3>100 tickets</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning = amount of tickets purchased/Total number of tickets

20% = 20/total number of tickets

20/100 = 20/total number of tickets

cross multiply

20 * total number of tickets = 20 * 100

20 *  total number of tickets = 100

total number of tickets sold = 100 tickets

What is b1 and r of geometrical sequence if b3 −b1 = 16 and b5 −b3 = 144.
Naily [24]

Answer:

b1 = 2 ; r = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

if b3 −b1 = 16 and b5 −b3 = 144.

For a geometric series :

Ist term = a

Second term = ar

3rd term = ar^2

4th term = ar^3

5th term = ar^4 ;...

If b3 - b1 = 16;

ar^2 - a = 16

a(r^2 - 1) = 16 - - - (1)

b5 - b3 = 144

ar^4 - ar^2 = 144

ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 144 - - - - (2)

Divide (1) by (2)

a(r^2 - 1) / ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 16 /144

a / ar^2 = 1 / 9

ar^2 = 9a

Substitute for a in ar^2 - a = 16

9a - a = 16

8a = 16

a = 2

From ar^2 - a = 16

2r^2 - 2 = 16

2r^2 = 16 + 2

2r^2 = 18

r^2 = 18 / 2

r^2 = 9

r = √9

r = 3

Hence ;

a = b1 = 2 ; r = 3
