Alvin = 2 times Elga
A=2E
E=E
E+2E= 33
solve for E
3E=33
E=11
Elga is 11yrs old

Which equation represents seven times a number decreased by 2 is 19? A) 7 + x - 2 = 19 B) 7x + 2 = 19 C) 2x - 7 = 19 D)

Helen [10]

Answer:

7n - 2 = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number is 7n.

7 times a number, decreased by 2, is 7n - 2.

7 times a number, decreased by 2, is 19 is represented by 7n - 2 = 19

What is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?<br> (5,5)<br> (2, 4)<br> (4, 1)<br> (6, 1)

$~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{\large distance between 2 points}}{d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}}~\hfill~ \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) ~\hfill AB=\sqrt{[ 2- 5]^2 + [ 4- 5]^2} \\\\\\ AB=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-1)^2}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) ~\hfill BC=\sqrt{[ 4- 2]^2 + [ 1- 4]^2}$
