Answer:

40 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Uncle Jason's age = x
  • Nephew Ralph age = y
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Age now:</u>

  • x= 2y

<u>Age 10 years ago: </u>

  • x- 10 = 3(y-10)

<u>Substituting x in the second equation:</u>

  • 2y - 10 = 3y - 30
  • 3y - 2y = 30 -10
  • y = 20

<u>Then, finding x:</u>

  • x= 2y
  • x= 2*20
  • x= 40

<u>Answer:</u> Uncle Jason is 40 and nephew Ralph is 20 years old

Solve the system of elimination -2x+2y+3z=0 -2x-y+z=-3 2x+3y+3z=5
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+2y+3z=0    ------(1)

-2x-y+z=-3     --------(2)

2x+3y+3z=5    ---------(3)

<u>To find the values of x,y and z</u>

(3) - (2)⇒ 2y + 4z = 2

y + 2z = 1   --------(4)

(1) - (2)⇒ 3y +2z =3   ---(5)

(5) - (4)⇒ 2y = 2

y = 1

Substituting the value of y in (4) we get z =0

Substituting the value of y and z  in (1) we get x = 1

Therefore x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0

What is the quadratic formula in vertex form?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

See explanation below to use the vertex form to solve a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - h)^2 - k = 0, the vertex is (h, -k)

An example below, taking a quadratic equation and completing the square:

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

x^2 - 2x = 1

(-2/-2)^2 = 1, add 1 to both sides of the equation.

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x - 1)^2 = 2

(x - 1)^2 - 2 = 0

The vertex is (1, -2)
