Well,

We will need an equation in the form of:
(prime no.) + (composite no.) = (prime no.)

Options C and D immediately are rejected because the result is a composite number.

Option A looks like it could be a counterexample, but 2 is a prime number.

That leaves option B, which is the correct option.

This Christmas, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen. The sum of Jacks age and three tim
zhannawk [14.2K]

Age of Jen is 13.6 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the age of Jack and "y" be the age of Jen

Given that This Christmas, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen

The above sentence can be written mathematically as:

Jack age + 2 = twice of age of Jen

x + 2 = 2y\\\\x = 2y - 2---- eqn 1

The sum of Jacks age and three times Jen's age is 66

Jack age + three times Jen age = 66

x + 3y = 66 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

2y - 2 + 3y = 66

5y - 2 = 66

5y = 68

<h3>y = 13.6</h3>

Thus age of Jen is 13.6 years old

Hello i need help with these questions asap!!
makvit [3.9K]

We use direct proportionality:

360⁰......Pi×R² (full circle)

120⁰.......x

x=120×pi×R²/360=pi×R²/3

x=pi×4²/3=16.76mi²

A=3×pi cm², for an angle of 2×pi/3=120⁰

In a similar way we compute the area of the full circle:

360.........x

120..........3×pi

x=3×pi×360/120=9×pi=3²×pi.

Thus the radius is 3cm.

What is the soulution to this system of linear equation 7x-2y=-6 8x+y=3
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

(0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: 7x-2y=-6             Step 2: 7x-2y=-6    solve by elimination of the y value

           2(8x+y=3)2                     +(16x+2y=6)

Step 3: 23x=0, which means <u>x=0</u>

Step 4: subtitute 0 into the equation 8x+y=3

            you get 8(0)+y=3, which comes to 0+y=3

          you get <u>y=3</u>

therefore the solution to this system is (0,3)
