Lets use O to represent Merideth's age and X to represent Miles's age, 
So what do we know? we know that miles is 3 years younger than twice merideth's age so 2(O)=X+3  and we also know that the sum of their ages is 24 O+X=24 using these equations we can input values until we find the values that work so if miles is 15 and meridith is 9 than 2(9)=15+3.   18=18
9+15=24 these values work for both equations so merideth is 9 and miles is 15

Using the number 686293, what is the value of the digit 8
marysya [2.9K]

To find what the value of the digit 8 is, we can start by moving from the right. In a number, the place value goes (from right to left) ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions and so on. Now we can find out what each of the numbers is.

Since 3 is the first, that means 3 is in the ones place.

Since 9 is second, that means that 9 is in the tens place.

Since 2 is third, that means that 2 is in the hundreds place.

Since 6 is fourth, that means that 6 is in the thousands place.

Now, we have 8. Since 8 is fifth, that means that 8 is in the ten-thousands place. But that's not the value of the eight. The value of the 8 would be it's place value (10,000) times 8. 10,000 * 8 = 80,000, so the value of the digit 8 in the number 686293 is 80,000.

Figure this out please Asap.
weeeeeb [17]

If the polygons are similar then the sides are in proportion.

\dfrac{32}{24}=\dfrac{32:8}{24:8}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Therefore we have the equations:

\dfrac{x-1}{6}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\3(x-1)=(4)(6)\\\\3x-3=24\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\3x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{x=9}


\dfrac{y+1}{21}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\3(y+1)=(21)(4)\\\\3y+3=84\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3y=81\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{y=27}
