Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the details :

Kofi is older than kweku

kofi's age = (5x-4) years

kweku's age = (2x+1) years

a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku

Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku

(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)

5x - 4 = 2x + 1

5x - 2x = 1 + 4

3x = 5

3x - 5

B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku

Then,

(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10

5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10

5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4

3x = 15

x = 5

Kofi's age : 5x - 4

5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years

Kweku's age : (2x + 1)

2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years

Figure M and it’s congruent image, figure N, are graphed on the coordinate plane below.
mixer [17]

The reflection over the line y = x - 3 will take figure M onto its congruent image, figure N.

<h3>What is geometric transformation?</h3>

It is defined as the change in coordinates and the shape of the geometrical body. It is also referred to as a two-dimensional transformation. In the geometric transformation, changes in the geometry can be possible by rotation, translation, reflection, and glide translation.

As we can see in the graph there are two shapes are shown.

Figure M and Figure N

The sequence of transformations that will take figure M onto its congruent image, figure N is:

First, we need to draw a line that passes through (3, 0) and (0, -3)

The equation of the line is:

\rm y+3=\dfrac{\left(-3\right)}{-3}\left(x\right)

y + 3 = x

y = x - 3

The reflection over the above line will take figure M onto its congruent image, figure N.

Thus, the reflection over the line y = x - 3 will take figure M onto its congruent image, figure N.

Using synthetic division, find (x^4 − 2) ÷ (x + 1).
damaskus [11]
-1 is the rest, because its degree is smaller than that of the divisor and therefore can not continue dividing.
 x ^ 3 - x ^ 2 + x -1 is the quotient.

6 more than 5 times a number is 26. What is the number?
lubasha [3.4K]
Hey there!
We'll define "the number" as x. We know that "is" signifies an equals sign and therefore an equation, and we're going to be adding six to five times x. Therefore, we have:
5x + 6 = 26
Add -6 to both sides:
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5 to get:
x = 4
So, 4 is the number.
Hope this helps!
