<span>If x = Jamal's age , 2x = Wilma's age , x - 3 = Tim's age.
The sum of the ages is 17.
Jamal's age is 5
Wilma's age is 10
Tim's age is 2
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
2 sets of possible solutions:
x=3, y = 5
and
x=-1, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the graphical method, (see attached)
you can graph both equations and find their intersection points.
From the attached plot, you can see that the graphs intersect at (3,5) and (-1,-3)
Alternatively, you can solve this numerically by solving the following system of equations. You will get the same answer.
y = 2x + 1 ------------------- eq. (1)
y = x² - 4 ------------------- eq. (2)
No, 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 because:-
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Compare
3/6 is larger, which means 1/2 is larger since they both equal each other.
Answer: 1/2 is greater than 1/3
The independent variable is the variable that is being changed. In this statement, it would be water flowing flowing in the pool. The dependent variable is what is being changed so that would be the depth of the water.
There, I hope this helps! :)
