P=pete's age now
c=claire's age now

2 year ago pete was 3times as old as his cousin clarie
p-2=3 times (c-2)

also the ratio is 1:3

2 years before that, pete was 4 times as old as claire
p-4=4 times (c-4)

so solve

p-2=3(c-2)
p-4=4(c-4)
distribute
p-2=3c-6
p-4=4c-16

p-2=3c-6
add 2 to both sides
p=3c-4

p-4=4c-16
add 4 to both sides
p=4c-12

so nowe we have
p=3c-4 and p=4c-12
therefor they are equal
3c-4=p=4c-12
3c-4=4c-12
add 12 to both sides
3c+8=4c
subtract 3c from both sides
8=c

subsitute
p-2=3(c-2)
p-2=3(8-2)
p-2=3(6)
p-2=18
addd 2
p=20

so right now, pete is 20 and claire is 8
so we solve by doing
20+what to 8+what=22 to 11
make fraction
and replace what with x
\frac{20+x}{8+x}= \frac{22}{11}
sipmlify 22/11 into 2/1
multiply both sides by 8+x
20+x=\frac{(2)(8+x)}{1}
20+x=2(8+x)
distribute
20+x=16+2x
subtract 16 from both sides
4+x=2x
subtract x from both sides
4=x
the answer is in 4 years

test
20+4=24
8+4=12
24/12=22/11?
2/1=2/1
true

the answer is in 4 years

Solving systems of linear inequalities
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

YES. (2, 7) is a solution of the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

System of linear inequalities has been given as,

y ≥ -x + 1 --------(1)

y < 4x + 2 ------(2)

If (2, 7) is a solution of the given system of inequalities, it will satisfy both the inequalities.

By substituting the coordinates of point (2, 7) in inequality (1),

7 ≥ -2 + 1

7 ≥ -1

True.

By substituting the coordinates of point (2, 7) in inequality (2),

7 < 4(2) + 1

7 < 9

True.

Therefore, point (2, 7) lie in the solution area of system of inequalities.

YES. (2, 7) is a solution of the system.

tangare [24]

Answer:

∴ ∑₁⁸i = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To Find:

∑₁⁸i =?

Solution:

Σ   This symbol called Sigma means "summation up"

∴ ∑ n mean sum for all n

But if ∑₁³n means  Sum for n=1 , 2 ,and 3 ADD

∴ ∑₁³n = 1 + 2 + 3

∴ ∑₁⁸i = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8
