2x^2-4=124 is the correct answer.
The statement on the bottom left is correct. (6 students studied for 20 to 24 hours)
Answer:
One solution: x=2.4, y=0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-2y=2
y=-2x+5
x-2(-2x+5)=2
x+4x-10=2
5x=2+10=12
x=12:5=2.4
y=-2x+5=-2*2.4+5=-4.8+5=0.2
Answer:Alden is 13 years old
Step-by-step explanation
Let x represent Alden's age.
Let y represent the age of his sister.
Let z represent the age of his second sister.
His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that
y = x + 5
y = 3z
Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is
z - 4
His brother is 2. It means that
z - 4 = 2
z = 2 + 4 = 6
y = 3z
y = 3 × 6 = 18
Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes
18 = x + 5
x = 18 - 5 = 13
