Answer:

Brother is 70.5 and sister is 64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.

Girls age = 6-x

Brother's age= x

the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equal to 135:

6-x+x=135

6-2x+6=135+6

The 6 cancels out

2x=141

2x/2=141/2

x=70.5

The brother's age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5

Find the equation of the line passing<br> through the points (3,-2) and (4, 6).<br> y = 8x + [?]
Sauron [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Plug in one of the points.

y = 8x + b

6 = 8(4) + b

2.) Solve for b (or [?])

6 = 32 + b \\  - 32 \:   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  - 32

32 cancels out on the right side.

Subtract 32 from 6, which is -26

3.) -26 = b

4.) Check with other point:

-2 = 8(3) + b

-2 = 24 + b

Cancel out 24 on the right side: 24-24 = 0

-2 - 24 = -26

-26 = b

Jean and Sarah are buying tubs of ice cream. 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream. Jean buys 4 tubs
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream. Since the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream, therefore the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream = 2x

Jean buys 4 tubs with 2 scoops in them and 2 tubs with 1 scoop each. Therefore the money spent by Jean is:

Money spent by Jean = 4(2x) + 2(x) = 8x + 2x = 10x

Sarah buys 2 tubs of 2 scoops and 4 tubs of 1 scoop. The money spent by Sarah is:

Money spent by Sarah = 2(2x) + 4(x) = 4x + 4x = 8x

Sarah spends 2.50 € less than Jean. Therefore:

Money spent by Sarah = Money spent by Jean - 2.5

8x = 10x - 2.5

2x = 2.5

x = €1.25

Therefore the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream is €1.25, the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream is €2.50.

Money spent by Jean = 10x = 10(1.25) = €12.5

Money spent by Sarah = 8x = 8(1.25) = €10

Which best describes the transformation that occurs from the graph of f(x)=x^2 to g(x)=(x-2)^2+3?? ​
Leokris [45]

answer right 2, up 3

any function with the following form is a transformation from f(x) = x²

g(x) = (x – a)² + b

were a moves the function to the right when a is a positive number and to the left when its a negative number, and b moves the function up when b is positive and down when its negative.

then for a=2 positive and b=3 positive, we have
