Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age
First statement is translated as:
S = 3R
Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)
Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old
Well what i did was subtract 10 from 15 it get 5 for one side length and the other would be 24-16= 8. the scale factor would be +5 and + 8.
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.
The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
There will be one solution. To solve that:
1. Get the y alone by switching the places.
6x+y=2 > y=2-6x
-18x+3y=12 > 3y=12-18x > Then divide 3 on each number > y=4-6x
After doing that, you can solve this in graphing or algebra way.
Ima do the algebra way:
SO we have 2 system of equations. Now pick one equestion.
I will pick, y=2-6x. Now Ima replace the Y with the other equation y=4-6x >
4-6x=2-6x.
Now solve. And get > 0 aka Infinite Solution.
