Let Cameron's age be c, and Cameron's uncle's age be u.

Cameron's uncle is 3 times as old as he is: u = 3c.

Four years ago, his uncle was 4 times older: u - 4 = 4(c - 4).

Now solve this system:

u = 3c

u - 4 = 4(c - 4)

Substitute 3c for u into the second equation and solve for c.

u - 4 = 4(c - 4)

3c - 4 = 4(c - 4)

3c - 4 = 4c - 16

-c - 4 = -16

-c = -12

c = 12

Answer:

Cameron is 12.

Let Cameron be x years old now.

-

<u>Now:</u>

Cameron = x

Uncle =3x

-

<u>4 years ago:</u>

Cameron = x - 4

Uncle = 3x - 4

-

<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

-

<u>Find x:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

3x - 4 = 4x - 16

4x - 3x = 16 - 4

x = 12

-

<u>Find the age:</u>

Cameron = x = 12

-

Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.

- 5g = 20<br> How do you solve this
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

g= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5g = 20

<u>Divide the -5 to both sides</u>

-5g / -5 = 20/ -5

<u>both -5 cancel out and g is left alone</u>

<u>20/-5 = -4</u>

Without graphing, classify the following system as independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a missing operator in the second equation.

If the equation is 4x - 8y = 4, then the system is dependent. The second equation is a non-zero multiple of the first.

Please help with number 33 and 34!
mariarad [96]
Problem 33

For each number, generate a factor tree. This is where you break a number down into smaller factors in a visual "tree" like style. The idea is to factor down to the prime factors and then you circle the common primes between each number. The values you circle are then multiplied if you circle more than one value in each tree. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 34

Xiao factored correctly but didn't pull out the GCF. So he didn't factor fully. In the case of 60 and 90, the GCF is 30. This is the largest shared factor between the two values. So we can pull out 30 to get
60+90 = 30*2+30*3 = 30*(2+3)

I'm basically using the distributive property in reverse. You can distribute the 30 back in and get 60+90 again. Notice how the inner stuff 2 and 3 have no factors in common other than 1.

Which expressions are equivalent to 2^5 2^4
KIM [24]

Answer with explanation:

The given expression is

=2^5 \times 2^4

→As, multiplication of real number follows Commutative property.

Which states that, if a and b are any two real numbers , then

a × b= b × a

The Expression equivalent to ,the above expression are

1. 2^4 \times 2^5\\\\ 2. 2^5=32 \text{and} 2^4=16, \text{So} 2^5 \times 2^4=32 \times 16=512
