Hi!

(l = Lenny
m = Max)

Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24

Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.

Now solve

2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12

3 * 12 = l
36 = l

The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

3x - x = 24  2x = 24 ÷ 2.   ÷2 (Cancels out) 24 ÷ 2 = 12  Max is 12 years old, Lenny is 36 years old.  ( (12) x 3 = y = 36 )

Which products result in a difference of squares? Check all that apply.(x – y)(y – x)(6 – y)(6 – y)(3 + xz)(–3 + xz)(y2 – xy)(y2
nikitadnepr [17]

1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)

2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)

3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)

Explanation

The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).

(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)

                           = (xz + 3)(xz - 3)

                          = x²y²-3xy+3xy-9

                          =x²y² - 3²

(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²

                          = y⁴ - x²y²

(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)

                                      = 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴

                                      = 4096y⁴ - x⁴

Is there an ordered pair solutions to <br> -3x+3y=4 and <br> -x+y=3 ????
elixir [45]
Y=x+3
-3x+3(x+3)=4
-3x+3x+9=4
9=4
Since this statement is false, there are no ordered pair solutions to this problem.
