Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

Can someone show me how to do this? I’m not sure how to do this
Allushta [10]

Answer: Slope means the gradient. So find the equation of the line first then graph the points on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c                 *We want m*

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(0-1)/(6-3)

m=-1/3

y=-1/3x+2          *(0,2) co-ordinate means it's the y-intercept=c*

I think the slope is -1/3 and then just plt the points on the graph manually.

I don’t know how to do this question
lubasha [3.4K]

let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.

TOTAL: x + y = 112  

                  y = 112 - x

PEELED: \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{1}{2}y

(8)\frac{3}{8}x = (8)\frac{1}{2}y

3x = 4y

3x = 4(112 - x)

3x = 448 - 4x

7x = 448

x = 64

y = 112 - x

  = 112 - 64

  = 48

a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges

Peeled apples: \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{3}{8}(64)= 3(8) = 24

Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40

Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16

b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
