Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be the age of her younger brother

 34 = 2x + 10

She is ten more than twice his age

 34 = 2x + 10

- 10         - 10

Then she twice his age

24 = 2x

÷2   ÷2

So his age is 12

x = 12

Do the points A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4) lie on the same line? Explain your answer. Show all work.
Jet001 [13]

We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

  • The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
  • Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.

Solve the following:<br> a. 4x^2 + 5x + 3 = 2x^2 − 3x<br> b. c^2 − 14 = 5c
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(a) x = -0.418 , -3.581

(B) c = 6.855, -1.855

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) We have given equation 4x^2+5x+3=2x^2-3x

2x^2+8x+3=0

On comparing with standard quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c

a = 2, b = 8 and c = 3

So roots of the equation will be x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{8^2-4\times 2\times 3}}{2\times 2}=\frac{-8\pm 6.324}{4}=-0.418,-3.581

(b) c^2-14=5c

c^2-5c-14=0

a = 1, b = -5 and c= -14

So c=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4\times 1\times (-14)}}{2\times 1}=\frac{5\pm 8.71}{2}=6.855,-1.855

Solve, then write, each equation in slope intercept form. ​
djyliett [7]

Answer:

1) (3,5)

2) (4,-7)

3)  (6,4)

4) (-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Subtract  y  from both sides of the equation.

x  =  8  −  y

x  −  y  =  −2

Replace all occurrences of x  in x  −  y  =  −2  with  8  −  y.

x  =  8  −  y

(8  −  y)  −  y  =  −2

Subtract y from  −y.

x  =  8  − y

8  −  2y  =  −2

Solve for  y  in the second equation.

x  =  8  −  y  

y  = 5

Replace all occurrences of  y  in  x  =  8  −  y  with  5.

x  =  8  −(5)

y  =  5

Simplify  8  −(5).

x  =  3

y  =  5

Slope = (3,5)

2)

Multiply each term by  2  and simplify.

2x+y=12

y+6=−x−4

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

2x+y=1x+2

y+6=−4

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

2x+y=1x+2

y=−10

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  x  opposite.

2x+y=1(−2)⋅

(x+2y)=(−2)(−10)

Simplify.

2x+y=1−2x−4

y=20

Add the two equations together to eliminate  x  from the system.

2x+y=1+−2x−4

y=20−3

y=21

Divide each term by  −3  and simplify.

y  = −7

Substitute the value found for  y  into one of the original equations, then solve for  x.

x  =  4

slope (4,-7)

3)

Subtract  y  from both sides of the equation.

2x−y=8x−y=2

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  y  opposite

2x−y=8(−1)⋅

(x−y)=(−1)(2)

Simplify. 2x−y=8

−x+y=−2

Add the two equations together to eliminate  y  from the system.

2x−y=8  +  −x+y=−2x=6

Substitute the value found for  x  into one of the original equations, then solve for  y.

y=4

slope (6,4)

4)

Simplify 2(x+1).

y−3=2x+2

y=−3(x+5)

Simplify  −3(x+5)

y−3=2x+2

y=−3x−15

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

−2x+y−3=2

y=−3x−15

Add  3x  to both sides of the equation.

−2x+y−3=2

y+3x=−15

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

−2x+y=5

y+3x=−15

Reorder the polynomial.

−2x+y=5

3x  +  y=−15

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  y  opposite.

−2x+y=5(−1)⋅

(3x+y)=(−1)(−15)

Simplify.

−2x+y=5

−3x−y=15

Add the two equations together to eliminate  y  from the system.

−2x+y=5  +  −3x−y=15−5x=20

Divide each term by  −5  and simplify.

x=−4

Substitute the value found for  x  into one of the original equations, then solve for y.

y=−3

slope (-4,-3)
