Answer:

Edna = 56.5

Elsa = 57.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Edna age with x; Elsa age will be x + 1

So,

x + x + 1 = 114

2x + 1 = 114

Make 2x the subject

2x = 114 - 1

2x = 113

Solve for x

x = 113/2

x = 56.5

Elsa age is calculated as thus;

Elsa = x + 1

Elsa = 56.5 + 1

Elsa = 57.5

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$ 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

if we assume head costs $ x then,

body will cost $x + 2 (2 more than head)

and tail will cost $x+1

x+x+2+x+1 = $ 4.20

or, 3x = 4.20-3

or, x= 1.20/3

therefore, x=0.4

15) x^2-2x-8=1/4x-1
x^2-2.25x-7=0
4x^2-9x-28=0
(x-4)(4x+7)=0
x-4= 0 or 4x+7=0
x=4 or x= -7/4=-1.75
16) answer hides in the f(x) equation
the trick is to think of the value that will make the (x-4) =0 and and the y value can be directly plugged off from the +c
therefore, ans is x=2 y= 4
