-19
Explanation: they go back in intervals of -3
Answer:
216
Step-by-step explanation:
put -3 where x is
3 ( 5 -3^2 - 9(-3) )
3 ( 45 + 27 )
3 (72)
216
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years
Then, my age was 3x
Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years
And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years
But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.
So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)
or, x= 5 years
So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years
And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years
<span>-3x + 2y = 2 eq (1)
7x - 3y = 7 eq (2)
Mutiply eq (1) by 3 and eq (2) by 2:
-9x + 6y = 6
14x - 6y = 14
Add th two new equations:
-9x + 14x = 6 + 14
=> 5x = 20
=> x = 20/5
=> x = 4
Now from eq (1)
-3(4) + 2y = 2
=> 2y = 2 + 12
=> 2y = 14
=> y = 14 / 2
=> y = 7
So the ordered pair is (4,7)
Answer: option B. (4,7)
