Answer:

Savannah's age = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Savannah's age = x

Dylan's age = 15

Dylan is 15, which is 3 years older than twice his sister Savannah’s age

Dylan = 2x + 3

Find Savannah's age

2x + 3 = 15

Subtract 3 from both sides

2x + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 12 / 2

x = 6

Therefore,

Savannah's age = x

= 6 years

Dylan's age = 2x +3

= 2*6 + 3

= 12 + 3

= 15 years

I will leave out the base, b since it's the same for all these logarithms.

$\frac{1}{4} Log(x)-2Log(5)-10Log(y) \\ \\ Power-Rule \\ \\ Log( x^{ \frac{1}{4} } )-Log( 5^{2} )-Log( y^{10} ) \\ \\ Quotient-Rule \\ \\ Log( x^{ \frac{1}{4} } ) -Log( \frac{25}{ y^{10} } ) \\ \\ Quotient-Rule \\ \\ Log( \frac{ x^{ \frac{1}{4} } y^{10} }{25} )$

Suzy found the difference of x and 4 and then divided by 2. Write an algebraic expression to represent this word phrase.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: $\dfrac{(x-4)}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra , We use algebraic expression to represent word phrase.

For example : 7 is added to p is written as " $7+p$ "

-8 is multiplied by p is written as " $-8p$ "

The statement : Suzy found the difference of x and 4 and then divided by 2.

First we express the difference of x and 4 as $(x-4)$

Then, we express entire statement : "difference of x and 4 and then divided by 2" = $\dfrac{(x-4)}{2}$

Hence, the algebraic expression to represent this word phrase: $\dfrac{(x-4)}{2}$

Determine whether the relationship between the two quantities is proportional. Explain.

ira [324]

Answer:

Option B. No, because the graph of the line connecting the ordered pairs does no pass through the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line<u><em> and the line passes through the origin</em></u>

step 1

Connect the ordered pairs of the graph

The y-intercept is the point (0,20)

see the attached figure

That means, that the line not passes through the origin

therefore

The relationship between the two quantities is not proportional
