Answer:

In 7 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's age = x

Joan's age = x + 5

3 Years ago

(x-3)+(x+5-3)=17

2x+5-6=17

2x=18

x=9

Hence Joan's age is 9+ 5 = 14

21 - 14 = 7

In 7 years Joan will be 21 years old

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of years of Joan y: number of years of ellen We now write the system of equations:
 y = x + 5

 (x-3) + (y-3) = 17
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 9

 y = 14
 So that Joan is 21 years old then:
 j + 9 = 21

 j = 21 - 9

 j = 12
 Answer:
 joan will be 21 years old in 12 years

18 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !!
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior triangle has a right angle, and one of its corners is 62, so the other angle, which is vertical to x, is 180-(90+62)=28, so x=28.

For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for y in the first equation.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2x+3x+4=6

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd plug in the y-equation which is y=3x+4 into the placement of the y in the first equation 2x+y=6,

Which would then result in 2x+3x+4=6, which is the answer

What is the anwere to this problem in the simple form
Deffense [45]
It is in simple form. There is absolutely nothing more that can be done, unless it is a joke. And math jokes are very hard to come by.

I don't think that y(y - 1)/(a + 2b) is any simpler.

Come to think of it, is that x^2 or y^2 on the top left. 
I think my first answer is the best one. Nothing can be done.

Find the equation for the plane that contains the line x=−1+3t , y=1+2t, z=2+4t and is perpendicular to the plane containing the
Ivan

Let L be the line given by the vector equation

(-1,1,2) + \lambda(3,2,4) \ , \lambda \in \mathbb{R}.

First, we use the director vectors of the lines L1 and L2 to get the

vector equation of the plane containing them, which we denote by \Pi_1. This is,

\\\\\Pi_1  : (1,-1,5) + \alpha (2,-1,6) + \beta (1,1,-3) \ , \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}\\\\\\

We observe that \vec{N} = (2,-1,6)\times(1,1,-3) = (-3,12,3) \ne (0,0,0). Therefore, the vector equation of \Pi_1 defines a plane and \vec{N} is a normal vector to \Pi_1.

 

Finally, the vector equation for the wanted plane, which we denote by \Pi, is

\Pi : (-1,1,2) + r(3,2,4) + s(-3,12,3), r,s \in \mathbb{R} \ .

Thus, if s = 0, then L \subset \Pi and since \vec{N} is parallel to \Pi, then it is perpendicular to \Pi_1.
