Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let Carlos sister's age be y.

Carlos is 13.

Carlos is five years older than twice his sister's age.

⇒ 13=2y+5

or 2y+5=13

Equation which correctly identifies his sister's age is:

2y+5=13

⇒ 2y=13-5

⇒ 2y=8

Dividing both sides by 2 gives

y=4

Hence, Carlos sister's age is:

You have to subtract 5 from 13
13-5=8 then divide 8 by 2 and get 4
13-5=8 / 2 = 4
so his sister is 4 years old..

I hope this helps

Line A (y = x + 2) is transformed into Line B (y=3x+1). Which best describes the new slope and y-intercept?

Alona [7]

Answer:

The slope is steeper and the line is shifted downwards.

The y-intercept is shifted downwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to demonstrate the transformation from the line A to line B:

1) $y = x + 2$ Given.

2) $y = 3\cdot x + 6$ Vertical dilation.

3) $y = 3\cdot x +1$ Vertical shift of the line in 5 units in the -y direction/Result

Hence, the answer is:

The slope is steeper and the line is shifted downwards.

The y-intercept is shifted downwards.

Please help me with my work THANK YOU A LOT

inessss [21]

Answer:

A.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer that you had chosen is correct, because the number line is stating that you are subtracting 5 from 0, giving you -5. Then it is saying that you are subtracting 2 from that, giving you -7.

B.) is wrong, because they are adding the answer of the correct equation with another number, which would equal -12.

C.) is incorrect, because when you are adding a positive with a negative, you are actually subtracting, not adding. When you are doing this, always keep the sign for the answer (negative or positive) with whatever the larger addend is. So in this letter's situation, the equation would look like this: -5 + 2 = -3.

D.) is incorrect because once again, they are taking the original correct answer and subtracting it from another number, which would be -12.

I hope this helps.

A game designer must decide how to color five buildings that are in a row. Using only the colors yellow, green, red, and blue, e

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The total of ways the buildings can be painted are = 4 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 1 = 48 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) color five buildings that are in a row.

ii) any two neighboring buildings must be different colors

iii) the first third and fifth buildings must be different colors.

iv) the number of ways to paint the fist building are 4.

v) the number of ways to paint the second building are 3.

vi) the number of ways to paint the third building are 2.

vii) the number of ways to paint the fourth building are 2.

viii) the number of ways to paint the last building are 1.

ix) therefore the total of ways the buildings can be painted are

= 4 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 1 = 48 ways.
