That would be called the solution
They have the same slope, but g(x) intercepts the y axis higher.
Answer:
Tanya is 20 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Vera = x years
The age of Linda is twice the age of Vera = 2x years
Tanya is four less than four times the age of Linda = 4(2x)-4 = 8x-4
Total age of Vera, Linda and Tanya is:
x+2x+8x-4
Combine the like terms:
11x-4
But now their total age is two more than nine times the age of Vera:
11x-4 = 9x+2
Solve the expression
Combine the like terms:
11x-9x=2+4
2x=6
Divide both the sides by 2
2x/2 = 6/2
x= 3
Thus the age of Vera is 3 years.
The age of Linda is 2x= 2*3 = 6 years
The age of Tanya is 8x-4 = 8*3 - 4 = 24-4 = 20years....
Answer:
8 red marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
All together we have 40 marbles. The fraction of marbles that are red is 1/5 which means that we should divide the total number of marbles, which is 40 by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) 5 so that we get the number of groups that have 1 red marble in them. In this case we have 8 groups.
40/5=8
You always divide by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) first and then you multiply your answer by the numerator ( Top number of fraction ) .
If each group has 1 red marble in it and we have 8 groups, it means that we have 8 red marbles in the bag.
1 * 8 = 8 red marbles in the bag
If the numerator (number above the fraction line) was more than one, then this would mean that we have more than 1 marble in each group of marbles.
Example:
If we had 3/5 we would have 3 marbles in each group of marbles. This means that instead of doing 1 * 8 we would have to do 3 * 8 = 24. We would have 24 red marbles in the bag.
Easy and quick way if you do not need the explanation:
Another way we could do this is by simply multiplying the fraction ( 1/5 ) by the total number of marbles ( 40 ). This would still give us an answer of 8 red marbles in the bag. 40/5=8, 8*1=8
