Answer:
If twice the opposite of a number increased by five, then the result is the opposite of a number.
The asiest way to solve this is the guess and check method. It is asking you what a number doubled then by adding five is the opposite of that number. Now go through a few SINGLE digit numbers to try and solve. I hope this helps.
-- point (1, -2)
-- point (10, 25)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10/16=5/6
2.14/63=2/9
3.6/14= 3/7
4.6/24= 1/3
5.7/70=1/10
6.5/10=1/2
7. 9/27= 1/3
8.6/72=1/12
9.6/27=1/3
10. 14/35= 2/5
11.12/24= 1/2
12.5/40=1/8
13.36/40=9/10
14.28/35=4/5
Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick
Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M
The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48
Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:
H + M = 48
3M + M = 48
4M = 48
M = 12
Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.
