Answer:

44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the ages of Michael and Leah is 71 years. 10 years ago, Michael's age was 2 times Leah's age. How old is Michael now?

Let Michael age = x , Leah = y

x+ y = 71 ....... ..(1)

10 year ago

Michael = x -10

Leah = y - 10

Michael = 2×leah

x - 10 = 2(y-10)

x - 10= 2y - 20

x - 2y = -20+10

x - 2y = -10 ...........(2)

x + y = 71 ......... (1)

Solve simultaneously using elimination method, subtract 1 from 2

-2y - y = -10-71

-3y = -81

Divide both sides by -3

y = -81/-3

y =27

x+y = 71

Put y =27

x+27= 71

x = 71 -27

x =44 years

Therefore Michael is 44years

Answer:

The operations you see with you eyes are multiplication and addition.

4 times X plus 2 = 10

The operations you don't see are Subtraction and Division.

4x+2=10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x+2−2=10−2

4x=8

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 8/4

x=2

If ab = c - d, which of the following is an expression for d in terms of a, b, and c?

horsena [70]

ANSWER

$d = - ab + c$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

$ab = c - d$

To find an expression for d in terms of a, b, and c, means we want to make d the subject of the relation.

This means that, we need to isolate d on one side of the equation while all other terms are on the other side.

We subtract from both sides of the equation to obtain,

$ab - c = - d$

We now divide through by -1, to get,

$- ab + c = d$

Or

$d = - ab + c$

Find a common factor for 3y^3+2y^2 and 6y^4+4y^3

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$3y + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find a common factor for

$3 {y}^{3} + 2 {y}^{2}$

and

$6 {y}^{4} + 4 {y}^{3}$

We factor each of them to get;

$3 {y}^{3} + 2 {y}^{2} = {y}^{2} (3y + 2)$

and

$6 {y}^{4} + 4 {y}^{3} = 2 {y}^{3} (3y + 2)$

We can observe now that;

The factor common to both expression is

$3y + 2$
