Answer:
Roy is 6 years old and Aaron is 1 year old.
Step-by-step explanation:
A is Aaron's age,
R is roy's age,
A = R - 5
R + 4 = 2(A+4)
We can distribute first,
R + 4 = 2A + 8
Subtract 4 from each side,
R = 2A + 4
Since A = R - 5, you can substitute in R - 5 for A in the equation,
R = 2(R-5) + 4
Distribute,
R = 2R - 10 + 4
Since - 10 + 4 = -6, we can do this,
R = 2R - 6
Subtract R from both sides,
0 = R - 6
Add 6 to both sides and you have part of your answer;
R = 6
Since A = R - 5,
A = 6 - 5
A = 1, so Aaron's age is 1.
Answer:
Her current age is 8 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Current age: x
"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."
In 10 years: <u>x + 10</u>
6 years less than triple: <em>3x - 6</em>
<u>x + 10</u> = <em>3x - 6</em>
<em>solve.</em>
<em>16 = 2x</em>
<em>x = 8</em>
I'm assuming the function is f(x) = (2x+8)/(x^2+5x+6). If so, make sure to use parenthesis to indicate that you're dividing all of "2x+8" over all of "x^2+5x+6" as one big fraction. Otherwise, things are ambiguous and it leads to confusion.
Side Note: x^2 means "x squared"
Factor the numerator: 2x+8 = 2(x+4)
Factor the denominator: x^2+5x+6 = (x+2)(x+3)
There are no common factors between the numerator and denominator. So there is nothing to cancel out.
Recall that you cannot divide by zero. Something like 1/0 is undefined.
We need to find the x values that cause the denominator to be zero.
Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x
x^2+5x+6 = 0
(x+2)(x+3) = 0
x+2 = 0 or x+3 = 0
x = -2 or x = -3
The x values x = -2 or x = -3 will lead to the denominator being zero. This means that the vertical asymptotes are x = -2 or x = -3 as shown by the blue dashed vertical lines in the attached image.
Answer= Supplementary Angles
Supplementary angles are two angels whose sum is 180°

Answer: 19.1</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(C) = AB/BC
tan(theta) = x/BC
tan(23) = (8.1)/BC
BC*tan(23) = 8.1
BC = (8.1)/tan(23)
BC = 19.0824041631723
BC = 19.1
In this case, rounding to 3 sig figs means we round to the nearest tenth.
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
