Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.

Answer:
5 millicuries
Step-by-step explanation:
Half life is 7 days which means it will be at 10 millicuries if we half that again for another 7 days then it will be 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the number of solutions, we have to expand both sides out first.
First, expand 3(x-2), which will obtain 3x-6.
Next, expand (1/2)(6x-2), which gives 3x - 1.
The result at this point should be as shown below:
Now, we would shift all x terms to the left and all number terms to the right.
After simplifying, the final equation would be:
This is a linear equation and it has one solution.
For the smaller triangle ;
15^2 + b^2 = 17^2
b = 8
To check the work
15^2 + 8^2 = 289
17^2 = 289
(This is if the bottom number on the smaller triangle says 15, its a bit hard to read..)
