Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maggies age is, for example, x, we can say that her brothers age is 4x-6. We know from the problem that Maggies age (x) plus her bothers age, (4x-6) is 69. So,

4x-6+x=69

5x-6=69

5x=75

x=15

So, Maggie is 15.

Answer: Maggie is 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

69 = (4m - 6) + m     --- get an equation

69 - m = 4m - 6        --- lets subtract  m from both sides first

75 - m = 4m              --- add 6 on both sides

75 = 5m                    --- add m on both sides

15 = m                       --- divide by 5 on both sides

m = 15, so Maggie is 15 years old

Let's check:

69 = (4(15)-6) +15

69 = (60 - 6) + 15

69 = 54 + 15

69 = 69

How many solutions <br> y=10x+2<br> y=8x+2x+2
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Infinutely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 10x + 2 --------- (1)

y = 8x +2x +2

=> y = 10x + 2---------- (2)

(1) -> 10x -y + 2 = 0

(2) -> 10x -y + 2 = 0

a1=10 ; b1=-1 ; c1 = 2

a2=10 ; b2=-1 ; c2= 2

a1/a2 = 10/10 = 1

b1/b2 = -1/-1 = 1

c1/c2 = 2/2 = 1

therefore, a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2

Therefore the line coincides and there are infinitely many solutions.
