Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J and M represent the current ages of Jacob and his Mother.
<u>currently</u>:
M = 3 +9J
<u>in 11 years</u>:
M+11 = 5 +3(J+11)
Using the first equation to substitute for M in the second, we have ...
(3 +9J) +11 = 5 +3(J +11) . . . . . substitute for M
9J +14 = 3J +38 . . . . . . simplify
6J + 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3J+14
J = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
M = 3 +9(4) = 39
Jacob is 4 and his mother is 39.
Answer:
<u>The negative solution is -4</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = a number
4x = x² - 32 (4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number)
2. Let's solve for x and find the negative solution:
4x = x² - 32
-x² + 4x + 32 = 0
x² - 4x - 32 = 0 (Multiplying by - 1)
(x - 8) (x + 4) = 0
(x₁ - 8) = 0
(x₂ + 4) = 0
x₁ = 8
<u>x₂ = -4</u>
<u>The negative solution is -4</u>
15 because 10x4 is 40 divided by 2 is 20 and 20-5 =15
For the first 60 positive integers, a = 1, n = 60, l = 60.
Sn = n/2(a + l)
s = 60/2(1 + 60) = 30(61)
For the next 60 positive integer, a = 61, n = 60, l = 120
Sum = 60/2(61 + 120) = 30(61 + 120) = 30(61) + 30(120) = s + 3600
Sum of first 120 positive integers = s + s + 3600 = 2s + 3600
