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

Is (3,4) a solution to the system of<br> equations. <br> X + y = 7<br> x - 2y = - 5
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Yes, the point (3,4) is a solution to the system.

===================================================

Proof of this:

Replace x with 3 and y with 4 in the first equation

x+y = 7

3+4 = 7

7 = 7

This confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation

x-2y = -5

3-2(4) = -5

3 - 8 = -5

-5 = -5

We get true equations for both when we plug in (x,y) = (3,4). This confirms it is a valid solution to the system of equations. It turns out it's the only solution to this system of equations. Visually, the two lines cross at the single location (3,4).

If f(x) = x+3 and g(x) = VX-1,<br> what is (fºg)(26)?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

26V + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the same as saying f(g(x)), where x = 26

First, lets figure out what g(x) is equal to when x = 26

g(26) = V(26) - 1 = 26V - 1

Now we input 26V - 1 into f(x) for x

f(26V-1) = (26V-1) + 3 = 26V + 2
