Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:

Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
 B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and  M + B = 29 (Given) OR    B  =  29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):

29 -M = 2.M -10
 29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6

Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old

In an electrical circuit ,the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.If a
Lerok [7]

Answer: The voltage across an identical resistor = 60 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given  that voltage across the resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.

 Mathematically, it would be represented as

Voltage  ∝  Current

Introducing the constant of proportionality,  k which represents the Resistor as it is constant.

we have that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

When current = 12 amps and voltage = 480v, the constant of proportionality  K

480 = k x 12

k = 480/12

k= 40

Step 2 ,

when current = 1.5 amps

 Voltage = ?

Using our equation that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

Voltage = 40 x 1.5

Voltage = 60 Volts

What value of a is a solution to this equation?<br> 1=3+a<br> 4
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1=a4+3

Step 1: Subtract a^4+3 from both sides.

1−(a4+3)=a4+3−(a4+3)

−a4−2=0

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

−a4−2+2=0+2

−a4=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−a4

−1

=

2

−1

a4=−2

Step 4: Take root.

a=±(−2)(

1

4

)

Answer:

No real solutions.
