Answer:et

m = the age of Maggie

b = the age of her brother

Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than twice her age:

b = 2m - 3

The sum of their ages is 24:

m + b = 24

by solving the system of equations:

b = 2m - 3

m + b = 24

we find

b = 15 years

m = 9 years

Find the coordinates of H if X(-8, 4) is the midpoint of GH and G(2, -9).

skelet666 [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The given midpoint is; X(-8,4) and G(2,-9).

To find: H

Now; You need to use formula for midpoint.

$midpoint(x) = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

Put all values.

$( - 8,4) = (\frac{ 2 + x}{2} , \frac{ - 9 + y}{2} )$

As they are equal, their corresponding elements are equal.

$- 8 = \frac{2 + x}{2}$

$- 16 - 2 = x$

x = -18

$4 = \frac{ - 9 + y}{2}$

$4 \times 2 = - 9 + y$

$8 + 9 = y$

$y = 17$

Therefore, y = 17.

Therefore, H =( -18,17).

Hope it helps....

Each leg of a 45 45 90 triangle measures 12cm, what is the length of the hypotenuse

erastova [34]

Answer:

12√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem here:

(12 cm)^2 + (12 cm)^2 = 288 cm^2.

The length of the hypotenuse is √288 = (√4)(√72) = 2(√36)(√2) = 12√2

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

jenyasd209 [6]

3x + 6y = -24

first you would start by subtracting 3x from both sides which would give you
6y = -3x - 24

then you divide everything by 6 and you’re left with
y = -1/2 - 4

Anna is x years old, her sister Jane is y years younger. What will the sum of there ages be in 3 years. SORRY IM DUMB

r-ruslan [8.4K]

You are not dumb. No one is dumb. Einstein failed math in high school.

Anna is x years old.

Jane is y years younger.

This means the Jane is x - y years old.

In three years, Anna will be x + 3 years old.

In three years, Jane will be (x - y) + 3 years old.

Let S = the sum of their ages in 3 years.

S = x + 3 + (x - y) + 3

S = 2x + 6 - y

Got it?
