Answer:

Joe is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by creating two different equations, one for each fact that we know about their ages.

Say that J is Joe's age

Say that T is Tim's age

Our first equation would then be:

4J + 2T = 50

J - 2 = T

Now that we know that T is J - 2, we can plug that in to the first equation.

4J + 2(J - 2) = 50

We can simplify this equation to solve for J

4J + 2J - 4 = 50

6J = 54

J = 9

Joe is 9 years old

Some angles are shown. Complete each of the 2 activities for this Task. Activity 1 of 2 The measure of angle NOP is 140°. Which
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

A. 23+x=140

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle addition postulate states that the measure of a larger angle formed by two or more smaller angles placed side by side is the the sum of the smaller angles. The angle addition postulate states that if B is in the interior of AOC , then:

m∠AOB + m∠BOC = m∠AOC.

From the image:

∠NOP = ∠NOQ + ∠QOP

∠NOP = 140, ∠NOQ = x, ∠QOP = 23

substituting:

140 = x + 23

x = 140 - 23 = 117

∠NOQ = 117°

Sonya made a graph showing the first ten minutes of her drive to the movies.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A. because the first point shows her acceleration and you can see her speed increasing when she hits the second point, so we can say that see accelerated up the ramp and after it hits the third point her speed becomes constant all the way when she reached the highway

If $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are replaced by four distinct digits from $1$ to $9$, inclusive, then what's the largest possible valu
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

  • for the value of difference to be largest, the minuend should be maximum(most possibly) and the subtrahend should be minimum

[in A-B=X, A is minuend and B is subtrahend ]

  • so, $a.b should be maximum. as there is a condition that 4 digits should be distinct, the product will be maximum if we choose 2 maximum valued numbers from the given numbers. so, one of them should be 9 and the other should be 8.

therefore, $a.b=9*8=72

  • as mentioned above, c.d$ should be minimum. this will be possible only when we choose  2 minimum valued numbers from the given numbers. so, one of them should be 1 and the other should be 2.

therefore, c.d$ = 1*2 = 2

  • hence, the difference = 72-2 = 70
  • thus,  the largest possible value of the difference $a.b - c.d$ = 70

How do you solve the slope and y-intercept of a graph?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
