Answer:
Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.
Ivy's age will be
and Rose's age will be
"Ivy is half as old as her sister":
this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>
"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"
in six years Ivy will have years, and Rose will have
years, so for this sentence we have the equation:
this will be our <u>second equation.</u>
Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):
Rose is 12 years old.
and Ivy (using the fist equation):
Ivy is 6 years old.
Answer:
<u>Using below system of inequalities</u>
- y > 2x - 3
- y < x + 1
<u>Following the rules </u>
- 1. Finding x- and y - intercepts
- 2. Connecting with dotted line for each as no equal symbol present in any inequality
- 3. Shade respective regions
- 4. Solution is the intersection of the shades regions
- 5. Select any three points in the solution region
<u>Line 1</u>
- y > 2x - 3
- x- intercept: y = 0 ⇒ 0 = 2x - 3 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = 1.5
- y - intercept: x = 0 ⇒ y = -3
- Shaded region is above the line (or to the left)
<u>Line 2</u>
- y < x + 1
- x- intercept: y = 0 ⇒ 0 = x + 1 ⇒ x = -1
- y - intercept: x = 0 ⇒ y = 1
- Shaded region is below the line (or to the right)
<u>Selected points are:</u>
- (-1, -1), (1, 1), (2, 2)
