Since each sister is 2 years apart, the middle sister is the average age. If we take 42 and divide it by 3, we get the middle(Samantha's) age.  If Smantha is 14, we add 2 to get Lauren's age...16 and we subtract 2 to get Emily's age...12.

so we have...12, 14, 16 = 42

Emily is 12, Samantha is 14, and Lauren is 16. Basically all you do to solve this problem is add numbers that are two apart until you find something. 

Ex. 2+4+6=12  4+6+8=18 so on and so forth.

What is the difference of the polynomials?<br><br>(8r6s3 – 9r5s4 + 3r4s5) – (2r4s5 – 5r3s6 – 4r5s4)
nignag [31]
(Distribute the minus sign of the subtrahend in each term.)
= 8r⁶s³ – 9r⁵s⁴ + 3r⁴s⁵ – 2r⁴s⁵ + 5r³s⁶ + 4r⁵s⁴
(Add or subtract like terms.)
= 8r⁶s³ – 5r⁵s⁴ + r⁴s⁵ + 5r³s⁶
(If you want to factor out, then...)
= r³s³ (8r³ – 5r²s + rs² + 5s³)

What is the simplest form of this expression?<br> 4(y + 2) - 2

The simplest form is 4y+6?


you distribute the 4 to everything in the parentheses and then combine like terms so you would combine the 8 and -2

Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

<em></em>

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  The inverse means take the not of both sides

If it is Saturday, then there is no school.

 Inverse     If it is not Saturday, then there is school.

The converse flips the then and the if

If there is no school, then it is Saturday.

2.) The first given part is the if, what will happen is the then part

If you are a freshman, then you are required to attend orientation.

3.)

Given: 3x+1=-14 Prove: x=-5

Statements    Reasons

1. 3x+1=-14     Given

2. 3x=-15          Subtraction Property of equality  ( since we subtract 1 from                         each side)

3. X=-5          Division Property  ( since we divide each side by 3)
