There seems to be a typo. You wrote 1313, but I'm assuming you meant to say the fraction 1/3. If this assumption is correct, then continue with the rest of the solution. If the assumption is not correct, then ignore what I wrote below and please provide clarification of what the "1313" should represent. Thank you.

----------------

B = your brother's age

S = your sister's age

Y = your age

All of these ages are current present day ages.

---------------

"your brother is 1/3 your age" so B = (1/3)Y or B = Y/3.

"Your sister is 6 years older than your brother" so S = B+6

"Your sister is 10 years old" so S = 10.

---------------

S = B+6

B+6 = S

B+6 = 10 ... plug in S = 10

B+6-6 = 10-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

B = 4

Your brother is 4 years old.

---------------

B = Y/3

Y/3 = B

Y/3 = 4 .... plug in B = 4

3(Y/3) = 3*4 ... multiply both sides by 3

Y = 12

<h3>Answer: Your age is 12 years old.</h3>

note: This answer hinges on assumption that the "1313" should be "1/3".

Can someone help me solve for x please it’s urgent
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

16/46 = 20/(20+x)

or, 16(20+x) = 46×20

or, 320 + 16x = 920

or, 16x = 600

or, x = 600/16

x = 37.5

Which system of inequalities is shown? A. Y&gt;x y&lt;2 b. Y 2 D. Y&gt;x y&gt;2
AURORKA [14]

Answer: y > x, y > 2

The horizontal line goes through 2 on the y axis. This boundary line is represented by the equation y = 2, since every point on this line has a y coord of 2. The shading above it means that the inequality is y > 2. Every point in the shaded region of y > 2 has a y coord that is larger than 2.

The other inequality is y > x because we shade above the dashed boundary line y = x, which is that slanted dashed line.

Combining the two regions of y > 2 and y > x leads to what is shown.

Dilate the trapezoid using center (-3,4) and scale factor 1/2.
pochemuha

The coordinates of the vertices of the image of the trapezoid are given as;

A'(x, y) = (- 4, 1), B'(x, y) = (- 2, 1), C'(x, y) = (- 5 / 2, 5 / 2) , D'(x, y) = (- 7 / 2, 5 / 2).

<h3>How to find the image of a trapezoid by dilation?</h3>

In this question we have a representation of a trapezoid, whose image has to be generated by a kind of rigid transformation known as dilation, whose equation is described :

P'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [P(x, y) - O(x, y)]

Where O(x, y) - Center of dilation

k - Scale factor

And P(x, y) - Coordinates of the original point, P'(x, y) - Coordinates of the resulting point.

Since k = 1 / 2, A(x, y) = (- 5, - 2), B(x, y) = (- 1, - 2), C(x, y) = (- 2, 1), D(x, y) = (- 4, 1), O(x, y) = (- 3, 4),

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertices of the image are:

Point A'

A'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [A(x, y) - O(x, y)]

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 5, - 2) - (- 3, 4)]

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  (- 2, - 6)

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (- 1, - 3)

A'(x, y) = (- 4, 1)

Point B';

B'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k [B(x, y) - O(x, y)]

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 1, - 2) - (- 3, 4)]

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  (2, - 6)

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1, - 3)

B'(x, y) = (- 2, 1)

Point C';

C'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [C(x, y) - O(x, y)]

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  [(- 2, 1) - (- 3, 4)]

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) (1, - 3)

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2, - 3 / 2)

C'(x, y) = (- 5 / 2, 5 / 2)

Point D'

D'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k  [D(x, y) - O(x, y)]

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 4, 1) - (- 3, 4)]

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) (- 1, - 3)

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (- 1 / 2, - 3 / 2)

D'(x, y) = (- 7 / 2, 5 / 2)
