First, define your variables.
J = Jeremy's age
E = Esmeralda's age

Next, create your equations.
J = E + 7
J + 3 + E + 3 = 57 which simplifies to J + E = 51

Now because J is defined in terms of E, substitute E as J into the second equation. E + 7 + E = 51
Next, 2E = 44
E = 22

Now, substitute the value of E into the original equation to find J. J = E + 7. J = 22 + 7. J = 29

Next check by substituting into the second equation. J + E = 51. 22 + 29 = 51.

Jeremy's age: 29
Esmeralda's: 22

If [x] denotes the least integer greater than or equal to x and [x/2] = 0, which of the following could be the value of x?A. -2B
podryga [215]

Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.
