X=4. 4/2=2 and 8/4=2 making the equations equal
This one is prime. The sum of two squares doesn't factor.
The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).
Answer:
122+42x= 2( 61+21x)
4x+16x+24 = 4(5x+6)
24x+48-3x = 21x+48
3x+39-2x = x+29
Step-by-step explanation:
Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56
3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14
since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old
Answer:
4 boys, 3 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
brothers of John ⇒ x
sisters of John ⇒ y
John has as many brothers as sisters:
- x = y
brothers of Emily ⇒ x + 1 (Emily have the same amount of brother as John, plus one (John))
sisters of Emily ⇒ y -1 (Emily have the same amount of sister as John, minus one (herself))
Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters:
- 2 (y-1) = x+ 1
Now we have a system of 2 equations and 2 variables
x=y (I)
2y - 2 = x + 1 (II)
____________
Replace x in equation II
2y - 2 = y + 1
2y - y = 2 + 1
y = 3
____________
Replace y in equation I
x = y = 3
That mean that John have 3 brothers plus himself, there is 4 boys in the family and John have 3 sister, so there is 3 girls in the family
