We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution
hope i could help
Answer:
x = 139º
Step-by-step explanation:
A line = 180º
180º - 41 º = 139º
For this case we have the following equation:
We must clear the value of the variable "x" as a function of r, s and t:
If we multiply by "r" on both sides of the equation we have:
If we subtract "t" on both sides of the equation we have:
If we divide by "2" on both sides of the equation we have:
Thus, the value of the variable "x" is:
