the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

One end of a line segment has the coordinates (-6,2). If

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$End 1: (-6,2)$

$Midpoint: (5,2)$

Required

Find the coordinates of the other end

Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);

(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

So

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$ and $y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Where $(x_1,y_1) = (-6,2)$ and $(x,y) = (5,2)$

So, we're solving for $(x_2,y_2)$

Solving for $x_2$

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$

Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

$5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2} * 2$

$10 = -6 + x_2$

Add 6 to both sides

$6 + 10 = -6 +6 + x_2$

$x_2 = 16$

Solving for $y_2$

$y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

$2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2} * 2$

$4 = 2 + y_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$4 - 2 = 2 - 2 + y_2$

$y_2 = 2$

$(x_2,y_2) = (16,2)$

Hence, the coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$
