S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2

check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5

Answer: Joe is 2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of Joe.

Sally is 1 year older than 3 times the age of Joe. It means that the age of Sally is

3x + 1

Chirs is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of Joe. It means that the age of Chris is

6x - 5

If sally and Chris are the same age, it means that

6x - 5 = 3x + 1

6x - 3x = 1 + 5

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2 years

The sum of a rational number and an even integer is rational. A) Always True B) Sometimes True C) Usually True D) Never True
SOVA2 [1]
I think that the sum will always be a rational number
let's prove that


<span>any rational number can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

</span>and an integer is the counting numbers plus their negatives and 0
so like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....

<span>so, 2 rational numbers can be represented as

</span>a/b and c/d (where a,b,c,d are all integers and b≠0 and d≠0)

their sum is
a/b+c/d=
ad/bd+bc/bd=
(ad+bc)/bd

1. the numerator and denominator will be integers
2. that the denominator does not equal 0

alright
1.
we started with that they are all integers
ab+bc=?
if we multiply any 2 integers, we get an integer
<span>like 3*4=12 or -3*4=-12 or -3*-4=12, etc.
</span>even 0*4=0, that's an integer
the sum of any 2 integers is an integer
like 4+3=7, 3+(-4)=-1, 3+0=3, etc.
so we have established that the numerator is an integer

now the denominator
that is just a product of 2 integers so it is an integer


<span>2. we originally defined that b≠0 and d≠0 so we're good

</span>therefore, the sum of any 2 rational numbers will always be a rational number <span>is the correct answer.</span>

What is the midpoint of the segment (1, -1) (4, -6)
Sophie [7]
When looking for the midpoint of a segment defined by two end points, the average of both coordinates are taken. Averaging the 2 x-coordinates give the new x-coordinate, and the same applies for the y-coordinate. This is shown below:

Midpoint = ( (1 + 4)/2 , (-1 + -6)/2 )
Midpoint = (2.5 , -3.5)
