Nana's age: 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we call:

J = Jennifer's age

L = Laurel's age

N = Nana's age

We have the following information:

- Jennifer is twice as old as laurel, so

J = 2L (1)

- Laurel is 4 years younger than Nana, so

L = N - 4 (2)

- Nana is 2 years younger than Jennifer, so

N = J -2 (3)

Substituting (2) into (1),

J = 2(N-4) = 2N - 8

And substituting this into (3) and solving for J, we find Nana's age:

N = (2N-8) - 2

N = 2N - 10

N = 10

Which means that Jennifer's age is:

J =  N + 2 = 12

And Laurel's age is

L = J/2 = 6

How to solve using substitution
DiKsa [7]
X+5 = x^2 - x + 2
0 = x^2 -2x - 3
0 = (x-3)(x+1)

x = -1,3

y = -1 + 5 OR y = 3+5
y = 4 OR y = 8

y = 4,8

So we have two ordered pairs, (-1,4) and (3,8).

Hope that helped!

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
RSB [31]

Evidence are simply facts to support a claim, while counterexamples are instances to show the contradictions in a claim

<em>The question is incomplete, as the required drop-down menus are missing. So, I will give a general explanation</em>

<em />

To show that a statement is true, you need evidence.

Take for instance:

\mathbf{if\ a^2 = 4,\ then\ a = 2}

The evidence that the above proof is true is by taking the <em>squares of both sides of </em>\mathbf{a = 2}

\mathbf{a^2 = 2^2}

\mathbf{a^2 = 4}

However, a counterexample does not need a proof per se.

What a counterexample needs is just an instance or example, to show that:

\mathbf{if\ a^2 = 4,\ then\ a \ne 2}

An instance to prove that: \mathbf{if\ a^2 = 4,\ then\ a = 2} is false is:

\mathbf{a = -2}

Hence, the complete statement could be:

<em>In a direct proof, evidence is used to support a proof . On the other hand, a counterexample is a single example that shows that a proof is false.</em>
