Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Their present ages :

Paul = 13

Selena = 7

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax = b}}

or

<h3>ax + b = c, </h3>

where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax + bx = c}}}

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

  • Selena is 6 years younger than Paul.

can be stated in the equation:

Selena (S) = Paul (P) -6 ⇒S = P-6 ⇒equation 1

  • In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now.

The equation: 15 + P = 4S⇒equation 2

Equation 1 is substituted into equation 2 so that it becomes:

15 + P = 4 (P-6)

So the solution is:

15+P = 4P-24

15+24 = 3P

39 = 3P

P = 13

From equation 1

S = P - 6

S = 13 - 6

S = 7

HELPPPP <br><br>which value is equal to 2✓28-5✓63?<br><br>a-37✓7<br>b-✓7<br>c-11✓7<br>d✓7​
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand this right, then the expression is

2×sqrt(28) - 5×sqrt(63)

let's look for squared factors in the numbers under the square roots.

28 = 4×7 (4 is a squared number)

63 = 9×7 (9 is a squared number)

so,

2×sqrt(4×7) - 5×sqrt(9×7) =

= 2×2×sqrt(7) - 5×3×sqrt(7) = 4×sqrt(7) - 15×sqrt(7) =

= (4 - 15)×sqrt(7) = -11×sqrt(7)

Answer:

x = 7, arc DE = 198°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angles from the same arc are congruent.

∠ DCE and ∠ DWE are inscribed angles from the same arc DE , thus

12x + 15 = 3x + 78 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

9x + 15 = 78 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

9x = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 7

Thus

∠ DCE = 12x + 15 = 12(7) + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99°

The inscribed angle DCE is half the measure of its intercepted arc, thus

arc DE = 2 × 99° = 198°

Find the root<br><br> X^3-125=0
Firlakuza [10]

Steps to solve:

x^3 - 125 = 0

~Add 125 to both sides

x^3 = 125

~Take cube root of both sides

x = 5

Best of Luck!
