Mathematics

Answer: 44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Brita's age be x and the daughter's age be y , then from the first statement :

x - y = 30

From the second statement :

x + y = 118

solving the resulting linear equation , add the two equations , we have

2x = 148

x = 74

substitute 74 into equation 1 to find the value of y

74- y = 30

y = 74 - 30

y = 44

Therefore :

Eva = 44 years

If the square root of 61 is the longest side length in the triangle and the shorter sides are x and x+1, find the value of x tha
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x such that ...

  x^2 +(x +1)^2 = 61

  2x^2 +2x -60 = 0 . . . . . simplify, subtract 61

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor; solutions will make the factors be zero.

The relevant solution is x = 5.

What is the vertex of the graph of g(x)=|x-3|-3
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the most general absolute value function is y = |x|, whose vertex is at (0, 0).   Focusing on the " |x - 3| " tells us that the graph of y = |x| is moved 3 units to the right.  Next, focusing on the " -3 " as it tells us that the resulting graph is shifted 3 units down.  Thus, the vertex of g(x)=|x-3|-3 is at (3, -3).
