Riley's age = r
Riley's brother's age = r/4

If Riley was 11 five years ago, Riley is currently 11 + 5 years old, or 16 years old.

Now we just need to use r/4 to find Riley's brother's age:

16 /4 = 4

Riley's brother is 4 years old.

Hope this helps!

A gold mine has two​ elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second.
Ad libitum [116K]

Let d_m,\ d_e represent the depth of the miner and equipments elevator, respectively. We know that equipment elevator descends with a velocity of v_e = 4 feet per second, and the miners one descends with a velocity of v_m = 15 feet per second.

If we start counting time (t=0) when the equipment elevator begins to descend, after t seconds its depth will be

d_e(t) = v_et = 4t

On the other hand, the miner elevator follows the same rule, but we have to use its velocity, and remember that it starts with a delay of thirty seconds:

d_m(t) = v_m(t-30) = 15(t - 30)

Now, we have to wait the 30 seconds of delay, and then another 14 seconds. This means that we want to know the positions of both elevators when t = 44. Let's plug this value into the two equations:

d_e(44) = 4\cdot 44 = 176

d_m(44) = 15(44-30) = 15\cdot 14 = 210

So, the equipment elevator is 176 feet deep, and the miner elevator is 210 feet deep, and thus this is the deeper one.

How to solve to system y=x^2-2 y=2x+1
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

the solutions are (3, 7) and (-1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the " = " symbol between the two equations, obtaining:

y = x^2 - 2 = y = 2x + 1

Then x^2 - 2 = 2x + 1, or

x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0, and this can be factored into (x - 3)(x + 1) = 0.

Thus, the x values that satisfy this system are {-1, 3}.

Use y = 2x + 1 to find the corresponding y values:

y = 2(-1) + 1 = -1

and

y = 2(3) + 1 = 7

Then the solutions are (3, 7) and (-1, -1)
