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

Convert the polar coordinates (120.2, 119°) into rectangular coordinates. Round the rectangular coordinates to the nearest hundr
Alchen [17]
The conversion is
  x = magnitude × cos(angle)
  y = magnitude × sin(angle)
or
  (x, y) = 120.2(cos(119°), sin(119°)) ≈ (-58.27, 105.13)

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1) b=-1.6 2) g=3 3) x=0.8 4) w=4.9 5) p=-16.2 6) y=9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use inverese operations to isolate variables ex. x+4=2

x times 2 = 6                                                            -4

/2                                                                               x=-2

x=3

5x-2y=11 and 3x+4y=4<br>Find the value of x and y in equation.​
nadya68 [22]
  • 5x-3y=11---(1)
  • 3x+4y=4---(2)

(1)×3 and (2)×5

  • 15x-9y=33-(3)
  • 15x+20y=20-(4)

Subtract both

\\ \sf\longmapsto -29y=13

\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{-13}{29}

  • Put in eq(1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x+\dfrac{-117}{29}=11

\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=11+\dfrac{117}{29}=\dfrac{261+117}{29}=\dfrac{278}{29}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{278}{145}
