Answer:

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the age of the grinkgo tree

y -----> the age of the dogwood tree

z -----> the age of the blue spruce tree

we know that

x=3y-2 ------> equation A

z=8 ----> equation B

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2z)

substitute the value of z

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2(8))

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+16) -----> equation C

equate equation A and equation C and solve for y

3y-2=\frac{1}{2}(y+16)

6y-4=(y+16)

6y-y=16+4

5y=20

y=4

Find the value of x (equation A or equation C)

x=3(4)-2=10

therefore

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Find the value of X in the triangle shown.
zalisa [80]
X = 12

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
13^2 = 5^2 + x^2
169 = 25 + x^2
Subtract 25 from both sides.
144 = x^2
Take the square root.
12 = x

Answer:

Tina

Step-by-step explanation:

bc if you sub in 4 for x the equations on both sides are 0

check:

-4 + 4 = 0                         -3 x 4 = -12

0 x 3 = 0                          12 + -12 = 0

                    0 = 0

If x-y=9,x²+y²=27,then xy=?​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

xy = - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y² ← substitute given values, that is

9² = 27 - 2xy

81 = 27 - 2xy ( subtract 27 from both sides )

54 = - 2xy (divide both sides by - 2 )

- 27 = xy
