Let the age of Aaron be x and the age of Ron be y.
y-x=5—(1)
y+4=2(x+4)=2x+8
y+4=2x+8=>y-2x=4—(2)

The height of a triangle is 3cm less than twice the base. The area is 10cm2

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

$H=2B-3$

and

$\frac{B \times H}{2}=10$

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

$\frac{B(2B-3)}{2}=10\\\frac{2B^2-3B}{2}=10\\2B^2-3B=20\\2B^2-3B-20=0\\(2B+5)(B-4)=0\\B= - \frac{5}{2},4$

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:

$H=2(4)-3\\H=8-3\\H=5$

Answer:

Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is:

y>-5x+3

In order to find which point is solution to the given inequality we'll put the point one by one in the inequality. If the point satisfies the inequality, then the point is the solution of the inequality.

Putting (0,3) in inequality

$3 > -5(0)+3\\3>0+3\\3>3$
