Answer:

Sydney's age is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Devaughn be D

And Sydney be S

D=S+8..... equation 1

D+S=64...... equation 2

Substitute equation 1 to equation 2

S+8+S=64

2S+8=64

2S=64-8

2S=56

S=56/2

S=28

Hope it helps

Good luck

Let’s take Sydney age as x
And Devaughn age as 8+x
Equation will be
8+x+x=64
8+2x=64
2x=64-8
2x=56
x=28
Therefore Sydney is 28years old

Find the length of line segmentAB which joins the following points.A(10, 14) and B(2,6)

Helen [10]

Answer:

The equation of the line AB is y - x -4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are A (10,14) and B(2,6)

Now, slope of the line AB : $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

or, $m = \frac{14 -6 }{10 - 2}$ = $\frac{8}{8} = 1$

So, slope of the equation AB = 1

Now, by SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM:

The equation of line is given as : y - y0 = m (x-x0)

So,the equation of line AB is y - 6 = 1(x-2)

or, y - 6 -x + 2 = 0

or, y - x -4 = 0

Hence, the equation of the line AB is y - x -4 = 0

When I solved this equation I got x=0.5

qwelly [4]

You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.

When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:

2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify

2x + 3 = 2

2x = -1

x = -1/2

If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
