Given:

Claire is 2 year younger than her sister.

The  sum of ages is no less than 44 years.

To find:

Inequality and find the youngest age Claire can  be.

Solution:

Let the age of Claire be x.

Her sister's age = x+2

Sum of their ages is no less than 44 years. It means the sum ages is greater than or equal to 44.

x+(x+2)\geq 44

2x+2\geq 44

2x\geq 44-2

2x\geq 42

Divide both sides by 2.

x\geq 21

It means, Claire age can be greater than or equal to 21. So, the youngest age Claire can  be 21 years old.

Therefore, the required inequality is  2x+2\geq 44 and the correct option is B.

Identify each function as a constant, direct variation, absolute value, or greatest integer function.
Anton [14]
None of those describe this function.

It's not a constant function, because it is not equal to a constant (something that isn't a variable)

It doesn't show direct variation, because it can't be represented in the form
y = kx.

It isn't an absolute value function because the absolute value isn't taken anywhere.
If it was an absolute value function it would look something like this:
g(x) = |x+3|

It isn't a greatest integer function, because the greatest integer isn't taken anywhere.
If it was a greatest integer function it would look something like this:
g(x) = \left \lfloor{x + 3}\right \rfloor

Are you sure you typed that question right?

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x - 6y = -12, x -2y =-8.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write down the equations so we can have a vision of the equations.

3x - 6y = -12

x - 2y = -8

Now we find the simpler equation, and we make it to where one of the variables is on one side.

Let's use the bottom equation.

x = 2y - 8

Now we plug in the equation to the other equation.

3(2y - 8) - 6y = -12

6y - 24 - 6y = -12

-24 = -12

0 = 12

This is a false statement. 0 does not equal 12. That means that the equation has no solutions.
