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

2. Graph the solution set to the following inequality:<br> 7-y&lt;2x
nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for y,

7-y<2x

7-2x<y

y>-2x+7

your y intercept would be (0,7)

and your slope would be -2/1 so, you go down 2 and 1 to the right.

Since this is a greater than symbol, we have to shade above the line and the line would also be a dotted line.

A geometric seqerence 1.5, -3, 6, -12 .... How many regative terms in the sequencs greater than
Leno4ka [110]

The total negative terms are 4 which are greater than -6000 if the geometric sequence 1.5, -3, 6, -12 ... with a common ratio -3.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have:

A geometric sequence 1.5, -3, 6, -12 ....

The common ratio r = -3/1.5 = -2

1.5, -3.6, 6, -12, 36, -108, 324, -972, 2916, -8748

The total negative terms = 4

Thus, the total negative terms are 4 which are greater than -6000 if the geometric sequence 1.5, -3, 6, -12 ... with a common ratio -3.
