We can set Maggie's age to x

If her brother is six years younger than four times her age, than her brother must be equal to: 4x-6

Since the sum of their ages is 39, we can set up an equation.

(Sum of Maggie's age) + (sum of Maggie's brother's age) = 39

x + (4x -6) = 39

5x -6 = 39

5x = 45

x = 9 , Maggie's age is 9

What are the coordinates of the imageof point A (2, -7) under the transalition (x,y) (x- 3, y 5)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The coordinates of the image of point A (2, -7) are A'(-1,-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The sign is missing between y and 5 in the rule of transitional.

Consider the rule of translation is

(x,y)\Rightarrow (x-3,y+5)

We need to find the image of point A (2, -7).

Substitute x=2 and y=-7 in the above rule.

A(2,-7)\Rightarrow A'(2-3,-7+5)

A(2,-7)\Rightarrow A'(-1,-2)

Therefore, the coordinates of the image of point A (2, -7) are A'(-1,-2).

in the following diagrams ABD=y,DBC=x,EFH=y, EFG=x and PQS=SQR=x.write the following in terms of x and y ABC
Leokris [45]

Angles are the space between intersecting lines, and they are measured in degrees or radians

The measure of angle ABC is y + x

<h3>How to determine angle ABC</h3>

The given parameters are:

ABD=y,

DBC=x,

EFH=y,

EFG=x

PQS = SQR = x

To determine the measure of angle ABC, we make use of angle ABD and angle DBC

Note that angle ABD and angle DBC have common vertices at points B and D

So, we have:

ABC = ABD + DBC

Substitute known values

ABC = y + x

Hence, the measure of angle ABC is y + x

The common ratio in a geometric series is 4 and the first term is 3.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The sum of the first 8 terms in the series is 65535.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The common ratio in a geometric series, r = 4

First term of GP is, a = 3

It is required to find the sum of the first 8 terms in the series. The sum of first n terms of a GP is given by :

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}, r>1

Here, n = 8

S_8=\dfrac{3\times ((4)^8-1)}{4-1}\\\\S_8=65535

So, the sum of the first 8 terms in the series is 65535.
