Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56
3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14
since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old
We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:

We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:

Clearing k we have:

Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:

For y2 = 3 we have:

Clearing x2 we have:
Answer:
Answer:
10 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in ages is 60 -30 = 30 years. When mom was 4 times daughter's age, the difference in their ages was 3 times the daughter's age.
The age difference was 30 years at that time, so the daughter was 10 years old.
Answer:
(r-7)(r+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's look at the -14. Possible factors for that number are (-2, 7) (2, -7) (1, -14) and (-1, 14).
Now, let's look at the -5. How can we make -5 with the pairs that we just found?
The only possible way is 2 and -7 (added together equals -5)
