The answer is 9.48. also I rounded
Answer:
(-2, -3)
(3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
Let's make this equation equal to zero
Subtract 3 from both sides
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
- 3 - 3
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
Subtract 3x from both sides
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
- 3x - 3x
x² - x - 6 = 0
Factor the equation
(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
This means x can be -2 or 3
Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3 = -3
Do the same for x = 3
y = 3(3) + 3
y = 9 + 3 = 12
The grinch mountain was the answer
That it equals2.449 i did the math and that is what i got
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
