Answer:

2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R = Ralph's age

and x = Sarah's age

          Then Ralph's age in 4 years = R + 4

       and Sarah's age in four years = x + 4

Thus,                                       R + 4 = 2(x + 4)

Distribute the 2                      R + 4  =     2x + 8

Subtract 4 from each side     R        =     2x + 4

Ralph's age is 2x + 4.

Answer:

x = -3, y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate the equal sides of each equation and combine.

Solve 2x - 1 = 3x + 2 for x.

-x - 1 = 2

-x = 3

x = -3

Evaluate y when x = -3

y = 3 (-3) + 2

y = -7

(-3, -7)

Answer:

<em>Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that this equation is represented by compound interest, in other words an exponential function, either being exponential growth or exponential decay;

f ( x ) = a + ( b )^x, where a ⇒ start value, b ⇒ constant, x ⇒ ( almost always considered ) time, but in this case rounds

Option A; The equation is given to be t ( x ) = 128 * ( 1/2 )^x. Given by the above, 128 should represent the start value, hinting that the tournament <em>did indeed begin with 128 teams</em>

Option B; As the rounds increase the number of teams approach 128. Now mind you 128 is the start value, not the end value, which would mean that <em>this statement is false</em>

Option C; The tournament began with 1/2 teams. Theoretically that would not be possible, but besides that the tournament began with 128 teams, only differed by 1/2 times as much every round. <em>This statement is thus false</em>

Option D; This situation actually represents exponential decay. If each round the number of teams differed by 1/2 times as much, the number of teams remaining is less than before, and thus this models exponential decay, not growth<em> ( statement is false )</em>

<em>Answer : Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
