Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
A ) ( x - 3 )( x + 1 ) [ not perfect ]
B ) ( x + 5 - √5 )( x + 5 + √5 ) [ n p ]
C ) ( x + 2 + 2√2 )( x + 2 - 2√2 ) [n p ]
D ) ( x - 6 )( x - 6 ) = ( x - 6 )^2 [ perfect ]
Thus the correct answer is option D .
Answer:
y=x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, the slope is clearly 1 and the line starts at (0, 1), which is its y-intercept.
Plug the variables into this formula: y=mx+b, then you will get y=x+1.
Answer:
1 square unit
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in s = 1/4 into the formula.
A = 16(1/4)^2
= 16(1/16) (since 4^2=16)
= 1 (cancel out the 16s)
The first = x => the second = x + 4
Sum = x + (x+4) = 56
2x + 4 = 56
2x = 52
x = 26 - the first => the second = 30
