We have that in this case the following equalities are met:
DH = HF
x + 3 = 3y
GH = HE
3x - 3 = 5y + 4
We then have the following system of equations:
x-3y = -3
3x-5y = 7
Resolving the system graphically we obtain the following values:
x = 9
y = 4
Note: see attached image.
Answer:
The values of x and y are:
x = 9, y = 4
Its Dr. Appiah’s patients’ ages vary less than do Dr. Singh’s patients’ ages and <span>Dr. Cantwell’s patients’ ages and Dr. Singh’s patients’ ages vary about the same amount.</span>
The patient is recommended to take 24 ounces of coffee per day.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Patient normal intake of coffee daily = 5 times 12 ounces
= 5 × 12 = 60 ounces
Doctor recommends to cut off 60 % of the normal intake of coffee.
And advised to take only 40 % of the daily intake of coffee.
So 60 % of 60 ounces can be calculated as,
= 36 ounces
40 % of 60 ounces is 24 ounces.
So 60 - 36 = 24 ounces of coffee per day
Answer:
Answer 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with 1 + 3x = -x + 4, add x to both sides. Result: 1 + 4x = 4
Next, subtract 1 from both sides, obtaining 4x = 3.
Finally, divide both sides by 4: x = 3/4
This matches Answer 1).
