Answer:
x + 14 = 2(x + 6)
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Algebra book age = x
Chemistry book age = x + 8
In 6 years time
Chemistry book age = x + 8 + 6
= x + 14
Algebra book age = x + 6
the chemistry book will be twice as old as the Algebra book.
x + 14 = 2(x+6)
x + 14 = 2x + 12
x - 2x = 12 - 14
- x = - 2
Divide both sides by -1
x = 2
Check:
Chemistry book age = x + 14
= 2 + 14
= 16
Algebra book age = x + 6
= 2 + 6
= 8
Answer: B 35/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
when x = -1, y = -3
when x = -1, y = -1
when x = -1, y = 1
when x = -1, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = -1; plug in y = 2(-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3
x = 0; plug in y = 2(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1
x = 1; plug in y = 2(1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
x = 2; plug in y = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3
well, we know it's a rectangle, so that means the sides JK = IL and JI = KL, so
