Present age of Selma = s

Present age of Joyce = j

Selma is now 3 times as old as joyce

s=3j........(1)

Four years ago,

s-4=j-4

then

Selma was 4 times as old as joyce

s-4=4(j-4)

s-4=4j-16

s=4j-16+4

s=4j-12.............(2)

Put the value of s in (2) from (1)

3j=4j-12

3j-4j=-12

-j=-12

Multiply by -1 both sides

j=12

Put the value of j in (1)

s=3j

s=3(12)

s=36

Present age of Selma = s = 36 years old

Present age of Joyce = j = 12 years old

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a. y = (3/5)× x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx+c

m = (13-4)/(20-5) = 9/15 = 3/5

c= 1

Which expressions are equivalent to 3x+3(x+y)3x+3(x+y)3, x, plus, 3, left parenthesis, x, plus, y, right parenthesis ? Choose al
wariber [46]

Answer: Choise A and Choise B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

3x+3(x+y)

You can simplify it in order to find equivalent expressions.

Appying the Distributive Property, you get:

3x+(3)(x)+(y)(3)=3x+3x+3y

So:

1. If you add the like terms, you get this equivalent expression:

3x+3x+3y=6x+3y

2. But if you factor out 3, you get the following equivalent expression:

3x+3x+3y=3(x+x+y)

Therefore, the expression shown in Choice A and Choise B are equivalents to the expression 3x+3(x+y)

HELP PLEASE EQUATION OF PARABOLA
Masteriza [31]

It has a minimum value at x = 3 and f(x) = 4

Vertex form is

f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 + 4 where a is some constant to be found

From the graph when x = 5 f(x) = 15, so

15 = a * 2^2 + 4

a = 15-4/4 = 11/4

so our equation is f(x) = 11/4(x - 3)^2 + 4
