Answer:
G=18
Step-by-step explanation:
George-G
1/3G+G=24
4/3G=24
3/4*4/3G=24*3/4
G=18
George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6
the correct answer should be (b) 6 is extraneous.
If you look at the second row of the solution you see (x-6) as a factor in one of the denominators. That's a problem: if 6 were a solution this denominator would become 0. But denominators being 0 is bad (undefined), so while 6 comes out of the algebraic manipulation as a solution, it is invalid, or extraneous.
-3 is a fine solution.
Answer:
11 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate CD use the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 4, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(- 4, - 5)
CD = 
= 
= 
= 
= 11
