So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left.
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie
Answer:
3*57=171
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.
We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)
All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem. In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.
So we can check which line passes through which point:
a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3) means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok
b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****
c. y=-4x+6 subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
y-2 = -4(x-1)
which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok
d. y-2=-4(x-1)
this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2),
this equation is ok.
Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.
Answer:
<em>In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The age of two children is 11 and 8 years.
Let's call x the number of years ahead.
We need to find when the product of their future ages is 208. The 11 years old child will be 11+x years old and the other child will be 8+x years, thus:
(11+x)(8+x)=208
Operating:
Simplifying:
Factoring:
(x-5)(x+24)=0
Solving:
x=5, x=-24
The negative solution is not valid, thus x=5
In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208
