<span>Equation A: 4c = d − 8
</span><span>Equation B: c = 5d + 8
</span>
Multiply Equation A by -5:
Equation A: - 20c = -5d + 40
Equation (1) + (2) :
-19c = 48
Answer: <span>B. Multiply equation A by -5</span>
Answer:Mark Is 9 years old; Christine is 5 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Present age
LET mark age be x
Christine be x-4 yrs
In 3 yrs Time
Mark will be x+3 yrs old
Christine will be (x -4 +3) = x-1 years old
Also, In 3 years time
Christine = 2/3 Mark
such that
x-1 = 2/3(x+3)
x -1= 2x+6 / 3
3x -3= 2x+6
3X--2X = 6+3
=X=9
Mark Is 9 years old
Christine is x -4 = 9-4=5 years old
Ok so this question:
y + 1 = - ( x - 2 ) (distribute the negative inside the parenthesis)
y + 1 = -x + 2 (substitute the y= -1)
-1 + 1 = -x + 2
0 = -x + 2 (take two to the other side)
-2 = -x (divide the negative away from x)
2 = x
Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 10 = 28
2x = 38
x = 19
Best of Luck!
