2x 10 = 4x - 1
-2x - 10 = -1
-2x = 9
x = -9/2
y = 2(-9/2) -10
y = -9 - 10
y= -19
The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old

(x - 5)(x + 1) (x - 5)(x + 2)
GCF: (x - 5)
LCM: (x - 5)(x + 1)(x + 2)
Answer: (x - 5)(x + 1)(x + 2)
I think a non- integer rational number but I’m not real sure on that.
your answer is
W<5.
the graphic will be like my drawing I hope you understand it because it is difficult to draw here
