Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's Jiri's age be "J" and Pamela's age be "P".

P = 9 + J (Pamela is 9 years older than Jiri.) ... equation 1

P + J = 107 (the sum of their ages is 107) ... equation 2

Put equation 1 into equation 2:

(9+J) + J = 109

9 + 2J = 109

2J = 109 - 9

2J = 100

J = 100/2

J = 50

Therefore, Jiri's age is 50.

Is w = 8 a solution to the equation 5 + w = 58? Explain

sp2606 [1]

No.

Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.

So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58

5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.

If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.

w = 58 - 5

The graph of the function g(x)= x^2+3x-4 is shifted 5 units to the left

omeli [17]

<h3>THE MID TERM SPLITTING OF THE EQUATION IS :</h3>

${x}^{2} + 3x - 4$

${x}^{2} + 4x - x - 4$

$x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4)$

$x = -4 \: and \: 1$

$x = 1$

now shifted to 5 units left

therefore,

x=-4
