Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let Teo's age be represented as x
Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x
and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as
x + 5+ 2x = 26
Step 2 --- SOLVING
x + 5+ 2x = 26
3x+ 5= 26
3x= 26-5
3x= 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Teo's age = 7 years
Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years
Answer:
a. 35 *gh or 35 gh
b. 60 *mn or 60 mn
Step-by-step explanation:
The fewest number of symbols and characters can be obtained by multiplying the constant numbers with the constant numbers and variables with the variables.
a. The co efficients 5 and 7 are multiplied to get 35 and g is multiplied with h to get gh. So the answer is 35*gh. It can be further simpliefied into 35 gh
b. The co efficients 3,4 and 5 are multiplied to get 60 and m is multiplied with n to get mn. The answer is 60* mn. On further simplificaation we get 60 mn.
Answer:
B. y = 1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is -3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-3) = 1/3. This eliminates choices A and C.
We can find the y-intercept (b) if we use the given point values in the equation ...
y = 1/3x +b
we get ...
-2 = (1/3)(-6) +b
-2 = -2 +b . . . simplify
0 = b . . . . . . . add 2
So, the equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is ...
y = 1/3x . . . . matches choice B
_____
<em>Alternate solution method</em>
You can try the given point in the given equations. You will find that only the equation of choice B will work.
