Answer:

x = 7

y = 11

z = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 32

Let's say the youngest is x, middle is y and oldest is z.

y= x+4 (age of the youngest + 4)

z= 2x (twice as old)

We can replace y and z in the main equation above with these values that contain x.

x + (x + 4) + 2x = 32

4x = 28, divide both sides by 4

x = 7

y = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

z = 2x = 2*7 = 14

And to check: 7 + 11 + 14 = 32

Answer:

Oldest=14

Middle=11

Youngest=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest is 2x youngest (7*2=14)

one you figure out the youngest (7) then *2 to get eldest(14)

32-7=25

25-14=11<--age of middle child that is 4 years older than youngest (7+4=11)

A weather forecast predicts that the temperature in antarctica will decrease 8 degrees fahrenheit each hour for the next 6 hours
Bogdan [553]
Given:
m = -8 degrees/hour, the rate of change of temperature

Let x =  hours 
Let y = temperature, °F
Then y = -8x + b
where b = constant

When x = 0, then y = b.
Therefore b = initial temperature

If the temperature drops by at least 36 °F in the next x hours, then
b - y(6) ≥ 36
b - (-8x + b) ≥ 36
8x ≥ 36
x ≥ 4.5 hours

Answer:  At least 4.5 hours
