Answer:

Onyango is 48, his daughter is 16 and his son is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Onyango's age x, therefore his daughter and son's ages are 1/3 x and 1/4 x respectively. We can write:

x + 8 = 12 + (1/3x + 8 + 1/4x + 8)

x + 8 = 7/12x + 28

5/12x = 20

x = 48 → 1/3x = 48 / 3 = 16, 1/4x = 48 / 4 = 12

  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Functions
  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

f(x) = 3x - 3

g(x) = 3x³ + 5

f(-3) is <em>x</em> = -3 for function f(x)

g(-2) is <em>x</em> = -2 for function g(x)

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

f(-3)

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]:                                                                           f(-3) = 3(-3) - 3
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             f(-3) = -9 - 3
  3. Subtract:                                                                                                            f(-3) = -12

g(-2)

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function g(x)]:                                                                         g(-2) = 3(-2)³ + 5
  2. Exponents:                                                                                                        g(-2) = 3(-8) + 5
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                            g(-2) = -24 + 5
  4. Add:                                                                                                                   g(-2) = -19

sandra and her friend went to the candy store. each of them purchased a bag of jelly beans. sandra's bag weighed 1.25 pounds. He
Nuetrik [128]

You would subtract.

The question is asking who has more, so to find out, you need to take away the smaller amount from the bigger amount. (1.25-1.05)

So Sandra bought more candy. Hope this helps!
