We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.

n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.

n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84

Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.

<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84

The answer is C = 12

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many solutions or exactly one solution.
34kurt

Answer:

  • Infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's organize the equations of the lines into slope-intercept form.

  • x + 4y = 1
  • => 4y = -x + 1
  • => y = -x/4 + 1/4

And,

  • 2x + 8y = 2
  • => 8y = -2x + 2
  • => y = -2x/8 + 2/8
  • => y = -x/4 + 1/4

Since both the graphs are the same, the two equations have infinitely many solutions.
