Answer:

Jiri's age is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = Pamela's age

and J = Jiri's age. Then

                                           (1)        P = J - 12

                                           (2) P + J = 38

Substitute (1) into (2)         J - 12 + J = 38

Add 12 to each side                J + J = 50

Combine like terms                    2J = 50

Divide each side by 2                  J = 25

Jiri's age is 25.

total sum of the 6 numbers

= 4 ×6

= 24

sum of numbers without the two 2s

= 24 - 2(2)

= 20

average of other 4 numbers

= 20 ÷ 4

= 5

Sam has 15 identical rectangular windows in his home. The length of each window is twice the width, and the area of each window
marshall27 [118]
The answe would be 300 because, the perimeter of the windows is 12, then you have to multiply 25 to 12 then bam you get 300, yay!

Use the substitution method to solve.
lord [1]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for y for the first equation

2x + y = 20

-2x         -2x , eliminate 2x

y = 20-2x

now that we have found y, substitute the y in for the second equation

-5y = -6x + 12

-5(20-2x) = -6x + 12, we just changed y into 20-2x. remember that we are multiplying all of 20 - 2x by -5

-100+10x = -6x + 12, we multiplied everything from the parathesis  by -5

+100                 + 100, eliminate -100

10x = -6x + 112

+6x    +6x , eliminate 6x

16x = 112 , solve for x

x = 7

then y = 20 - 2x = 20 - 2*7 = 6

check:

2 * 7 + 6 = 20

20 = 20

-5 * 6 = -6 * 7 + 12

-30 = -42 + 12

-30 = -30

Write v = 2x2 + 12x +1 in vertex form.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)²  + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Given

y = 2x² + 12x + 1

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square.

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1 , thus factor out 2 from 2x² + 12x

y = 2(x² + 6x) + 1

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x

y = 2(x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9) + 1

  = 2(x + 3)² - 18 + 1

  = 2(x + 3)² - 17 → C
