Linda is twice the age of Vera.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Tanya is 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Vera = x years

The age of Linda is twice the age of Vera = 2x years

Tanya  is four less than four times the age of Linda = 4(2x)-4 = 8x-4

Total age of Vera, Linda and Tanya is:

x+2x+8x-4

Combine the like terms:

11x-4

But now their total age is two more than nine times the age of Vera:

11x-4 = 9x+2

Solve the expression

Combine the like terms:

11x-9x=2+4

2x=6

Divide both the sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x= 3

Thus the age of Vera is 3 years.

The age of Linda is 2x= 2*3 = 6 years

The age of Tanya is 8x-4 = 8*3 - 4 = 24-4 = 20years....

Think about the function f(x) = 3 - 2x
Angelina_Jolie [31]

f(0) means the function output when the input is x = 0. This is the same as saying the y value when x = 0.

f(x) = 3-2x

f(0) = 3-2(0)

f(0) = 3

The point (0,3) is on the graph. This is the y intercept which is where the graph crosses the y axis. The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.

So in other words, the special name for f(0) is the y intercept.
