3 yrs ago:
Alice - x
Jane - 3x
Fast forward 2 years... 1 year ago:
Sum of their ages = 62
Equation to solve: x + 3x = 62
4x = 62
----- -----
4 4
x = 15.5
From this, we can deterime that Alice is 15 1/2 years old.
Then, plug in 15.5 for x in 3x to find Jane's age.
15.5 × 3 = 46.5
From this, we can determine that Jane is 46 1/2 years old.
I hope this helps you to understand this problem better.
Answer:
geraldo has 9 marbles and yan has 12
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (x-3) = 21
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
Explanation:
In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.
We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.
We'll use x.
x is the number of marbles that Yan have.
if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.
Put them together into the equation.
Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.
Substitute using the represented unknowns.
x + (x-3) = 21.
In solving, we can also rule out that:
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
2 x = 21 + 3
2 x = 24
x = 12
x - 3 = 9
Yan has 12 marbles
and Geraldo has 9 marbles.
Answer:
x-intercept is x = -4; y-intercept is y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The zero or x-intercept is when the line touches the x-axis or horizontal line axis or is when y = 0.
x = -4
2.
The y-intercept is when the line touches the y-axis or vertical line axis or is when x = 0.
y = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider that by changing the the variable x with x-c represents a horizontal shift of c units. If c>0 then it is a right shift and it is a left shift otherwise. When we multiply the variable by a number d (i.e dx) we are applying an horizontal compression/stretching. If d>1 it compresses it, and if 0<d<1 it stretches it. By multipyling the variable x by a negative sign, we are reflecting with respect the x -axis. Finally when we add a number to the function, we are applying a vertical shift.
original function x.
1. (x-7): horizontal shift of 7 units to the right.
2. 1/3(x-7): Horizontal stretching by factor 1/3.
3.-1/3(x-7): Reflection with respect the x-axis
4.-1/3(x-7)+2: Vertical shift of two units up.
Answer:
112 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 60 minutes in an hour, means that Sal's pizza shop can make 28 pizzas an hour. Multiply this by 4 to get 112
