J - Jan's age
T - Tritt's age

(1) J + 3 = 2T
(2) J + T = 30    |subtract T from both sides
(2) J = 30 - T

subtitute (2) to (1)

30 - T + 3 = 2T
33 - T = 2T    |add T to both sides
3T = 33    |divide both sides by 3
T = 11

subtitute the value of T to (2)

J = 30 - 11
J = 19

Answer: Jan is 19 and Tritt is 11.

J + t = 30
j = 2t - 3

sub eq 2 into eq 1
2t - 3 + t = 30...combine like terms
3t - 3 = 30...add 3 to both sides
3t = 30 + 3
3t = 33...divide both sides by 3
t = 33/3
t = 11 <=== Tritt is 11

j = 2t - 3
j = 2(11) - 3
j = 22 - 3
j = 19 <== Jan is 19

5. Consider the following equations.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

4x - 2y = -6

-2y = -4x- 6

y = (-4/-2)x -(6/-2)

y = 2x + 3....slope here is 2, and y int is 3

3x + y = 3

y = -3x + 3.....slope here is -3, and y int is 3

B. slopes are different, y intercepts are the same

F(x) = 2/x, g(x) = |x| -1 <br><br><br> What is the domain of (fog) (x)?<br><br> will mark brainliest
brilliants [131]

Answer:

x≠-1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x)) is a composition where g(x) is is substituted for x in f(x).

Recall, f(x) is 2/x. So we write 2/|x|-1. This places x in the denominator and 0 cannot be in the denominator x. Any value of x that makes the denominator 0 will not be in the domain.

|x|-1=0

|x|=1

x=1,-1

Two trucks leave a warehouse at the same time. one travels due west at an average speed of 49 miles per hour, and the other trav
Gre4nikov [31]

Well there can be two different solutions for this but i will choose the easier one. Obviously one requires a system of equations which obviously will involve a lot of thinking and some good algebra solving in order for them to solve.

So we can just keep adding the distance as we know they are in different directions. 49 + 65 = 114. So 114 * 4.5 = 513 miles. SO after around 4.5 hours they will be 513 miles apart.
