Answer:

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = poonams age

Let s = shalini's age

p = 5s

p+s = 72

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

5s+s = 72

Combine like terms

6s= 72

Divide by 6

6s/6 = 72/6

s = 12

p = 5s =5*12 = 60

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

A rectangular garden originally measured 5 feet by 10 feet as shown below.a path was created by increasing each side of the orig
kotegsom [21]
The area is given by
 A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Substituting the value of the area we have:
 54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Rewriting:
 4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
 We look for the roots:
 x1 = -9
 x2 = 3/2
 We take the positive root:
 x2 = 3/2
 Answer:
 
the value of x is:
 
x = 3/2

What are the coordinates of the point (10, -4) if it is reflected across the y- axis?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(-10,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point is moved to the other side of the y axis.

The y coordinate would stay the same and the x coordinate would move the same number of units but on the opposite side (that's why its -10).
