Subtract 5 from both sides
Let Tritt's age = t & Jan's age = 2t - 3
if the sum of their ages equals 30 then..

combine terms and simplify

now simply divide

and to find Jan's age just plug 9 in


Jan's age = 15
Tritt's age = 9
Answer:
This system of equations has <em>no solution</em>. It is inconsistent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The last equation tells you z = -1.
Substituting this value for z in the other two equations allows them to be written as ...
-3x -y = 7
-3x -y = 3
There are no values of x and y that can make both these equations true.
Answer:216691116
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>n </em>represent the date and <em>f(n)</em> represent the money on a specific day.
We see that the pattern is every day, we add $0.50 into our little piggy bank.
So on day 1, we get $0.50 and on day 2, we get $1.00. We can see it is a linear function and since in is increasing by $0.50, our slope <em>m </em>is $0.50.
So we get:
<em>f(n) = </em>0.5<em>n</em>
Let's test this. On day 3 we get:
<em>f(3) </em>= <em>0.5(3) </em>= 1.50
So it works! So our answer is:
<em>f(n) = 0.5n
