Answer:

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

what is the mistake in this problem and why is it wrong? 15+(√9•7)÷13 = 15+(3•7)÷3 = 15+(21)÷3 = 36+3 =12

Serggg [28]

[Edit:}

Okay! So after you have 15+(21)÷3, you have to remember PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order in which you solve equations.

1. Parentheses: you solve everything in the parentheses first, all while following the rules of PEMDAS

2. Exponents: after you solve the things in the parentheses, you do the exponents.

3. Then you do Multiplication or Division, solving in the order from left to right.

4. After, you do Addition or Subtraction, solving in the order from left to right.

So using PEMDAS, we'll solve 15+(21)÷3.

We do division before addition, so 21/3 is 7.

Then you add 15 to 7 and get 22 as your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Consider the function f ( x ) = 1 − 4 x 2 on the interval [ − 1 , 3 ] . Find the average or mean slope of the function on this i

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The average slope is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>f</em> be defined on the closed interval [a, b]. The average slope of <em>f </em>between a and b is the quotient

average slope = $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

To find the average slope of the function $f(x)=1-4x^2$ on the interval [-1, 3] you have to evaluate your function in the interval and then divide by the interval.
