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

Daniel [21]
These techniques for elimination are preferred for 3rd order systems and higher. They use "Row-Reduction" techniques/pivoting and many subtle math tricks to reduce a matrix to either a solvable form or perhaps provide an inverse of a matrix (A-1)of linear equation AX=b. Solving systems of linear equations (n>2) by elimination is a topic unto itself and is the preferred method. As the system of equations increases, the "condition" of a matrix becomes extremely important. Some of this may sound completely alien to you. Don't worry about these topics until Linear Algebra when systems of linear equations (Rank 'n') become larger than 2.

After moving 5 units up, 3 units right, and 4 units down, the ending position is (9, 6). What was the starting position.
Anika [276]
You reverse what you did, so first you go 5 units down which makes the coordinates (9,1) then you move 3 units left which then is (6,1). Then you go 4 units up which lets you end out at (6,5).

guajiro [1.7K]

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its side lengths

11.3 + 14.7 + x < 44

Combine like terms

26 + x < 44

Subtract 26 from both sides.

x < 18
