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

Please help and explain with these 2 math questions!!!!!!
Volgvan

1)  -10x+y=4

Now, you should substitute x in every situation.

* x=-2 <em>=> -10*(-2)+y=4... 20+y=4... <u>y=-16</u></em>

<em />* x=-1 =>-10*(-1)+y=4... 10+y=4... <u>y=-6</u>

<u />*x=0 => -10*0+y=4... <u>y=4</u>

<u />* x=1 =>  -10*1+y=4... -10+y=4... <u>y=14</u>

<u />* x=2 => -10*2+y=4... -20+y=4... <u>y=24</u>

<u>2)</u> -5x-1=y

For example: x=0

-5*0-1=-1

<u>

Calculate interior angle of a regular 15 sided polygon​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

156°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 15 , then

sum = 180° × 13 = 2340°

interior angle = \frac{sum}{n} = \frac{2340}{15} = 156°
