Write an equation system based on the problem
"Agatha is five times older than her son, Bob" could be written as:
  a = 5b.......(first equation)
"Three years ago, she was nine times older" could be written as:
  a - 3 = 9(b - 3)......(second equation)

Solve the equation system
To find the value of b, substitute 5b as a to the second equation
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9b - 27
5b - 9b = -27 + 3
-4b = -24
   b = -24/-4
   b = 6
Her son, Bob, is 6 years old

To find Agatha's age, substitute the value of b to the first equation
a = 5b
a = 5 × 6
a = 30
Agatha is 30 years old

When given a system of equations, the "solutions" are defined where two equations intersect, or meet.


A. The point where the lines p(x) and g(x) meet is (3, -1), and thus this is considered the solution set.

B. Because there are three lines in total, g(x) is able to intersect both lines one time, and so it has two pairs of solutions.

The first is (3, -1), which has already been established with p(x).

The second is (0, 5), and this is where it intersects with f(x).

C. The solution to f(x) = g(x) is 0, as this is the only x value where both equations are equal.


Hope my answer helped!

A packed box that is being shipped will be weighed in order to calculate the correct postage needed. The total weight of a packe
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of the package = weight of product + weight of box

Weight of empty box =0.88lb

Total weight of the box is =7.24lb

Let Weight of product inside box=w

Let wet of empty box =y

Total weight = F

Then,

F=y+w

Since F=7.24lb. y=0.88

Then, w=F-y

w=7.24-0.88

w=6.36lb

The weight of the product is 6.36lb
