Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is Oscar's age, and y is Vanessa's age.

When Oscar was Vanessa's age, Vanessa was y−(x−y) = 2y−x years old.  Oscar is five times older than this:

x = 5 (2y − x)

x = 10y − 5x

6x = 10y

3x = 5y

When Vanessa is Oscar's age, Oscar will be x+(x−y) = 2x−y years old.  The sum of their ages will by 72.

2x−y + x = 72

3x − y = 72

Substituting:

5y − y = 72

4y = 72

y = 18

Vanessa is 18.  Which means Oscar is 30.

Let's check our answer.  When Oscar was 18, Vanessa was 6.  Oscar is 5 times older than that (30).  When Vanessa is 30, Oscar will be 42, and their ages will add up to 72.

Answer:

Vanessa is 60 and the other person is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 12

12 x 5 = 60

vanessa is 60

the other person is 12

60 + 12 = 72

How many solutions would there be for the following systems of equations <br>y=3x-5<br>6x-2y=10​
Ann [662]

Answer:

So the solution would be (1,-2). Remember you can always validate that the solution is correct by plugging it into both equations. But this is the same as the first equation, y=3x-5. Since they are the SAME line they will have infinite solutions.

A rectangle is transformed according to the rule r0, 90º. the image of the rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

Counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1), p'(–3, 1), and q'(–3, 4)

To find :  transformed according to the rule 90º , what is the location of q?

Solution : we have given that

vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1), p'(–3, 1), and q'(–3, 4).

By the rule of 90º rotation clock wise rule : (x ,y ) →→ ( y , -x )

90º rotation counter clock wise rule : (x ,y ) →→ ( -y , x ).

Then   Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

Therefore, Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

Lisa says that 43 is an odd number that is composite . Is she correct? Explain.
Assoli18 [71]

Lisa is incorrect although it is an odd number it is not composite. It only has itself and 1. Therefore its a prime number.

This is the definition for prime if you still dont understand.

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.
