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

1. Solve for x
guapka [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+4=6x-3

4=2x-3

7=2x

x=3,5

3x+2=17x-4

2=14x-4

6=14x

x=3/7

6m+1=-3m+11

9m+1=11

9m= 10

m=10/9

Differentiate each function with respect to x. Show steps
konstantin123 [22]

The derivative of the function is f'(x) = 9x² tan x⁴ + 4x³(3x³ + 2) sec² x⁴.

<h3>What is the derivative of a function?</h3>

When a single-variable function exists at a given input value, its derivative is represented by the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point.

The given function is f(x) =tan x⁴ · (3x³ + 2).

Differentiate the function with respect to x:

f'(x) = tan x⁴ · 9x² + (3x³ + 2) sec² x⁴· 4x³

      = 9x² tan x⁴ + 4x³(3x³ + 2) sec² x⁴

Hence, the derivative of the function is

f'(x) = 9x² tan x⁴ + 4x³(3x³ + 2) sec² x⁴
