Answer:

Carlos is 35 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen

- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33

∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now

2 years ago

∵ Carlos's age = x - 2

∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31

∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age

- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age

∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 31 = x - 4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 35 = x

∵ x represents Carlos's age now

∴ Carlos is 35 years old now

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The interior and exterior angles are supplementary:</u>

A + 108° = 180°
A = 180° - 108°
A = 72°

On a road map, the locations A, B and C are collinear. Location C divides the road from location A to B, such that AC:CB = 1:2.

koban [17]

Answer:

C. (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C internally divides AB in the ratio AC/CB = 1/2 = m/n where m = 1 and n = 2, we use the formula for internal division.

Let A = (x₁, y₁) = (5, 16), B = (x₂, y₂) and C = (x, y) = (3, 10)

So x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

Substituting the values of the coordinates, we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

3 = (1 × x₂ + 2 × 5)/(2 + 1)

3 = (x₂ + 10)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

9 = x₂ + 10

x₂ = 9 - 10

x₂ = -1

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

10 = (1 × y₂ + 2 × 16)/(2 + 1)

10 = (x₂ + 32)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

30 = y₂ + 32

y₂ = 30 - 32

y₂ = -2

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, -2)

I forgot how to do this n they didn’t put an example help me lol

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

60 $m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the square as it the missing piece wasn't missing.

8 x 9 = 72 $m^2$

Then, find the area of the missing section.

3 x 4 = 12 $m^2$

Finally, subtract 12 $m^2$ from 72 $m^2$ and you get 60 $m^2$

Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The function represents a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In a linear direct variation the line passes through the origin and the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

Let

$A(0,0)$ ------> the line passes through the origin

$B(2,10)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=10/2=5$

$C(4,20)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=20/4=5$

$D(6,30)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=30/6=5$

$E(8,40)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=40/8=5$

The value of k is equal in all the points of the table and the line passes through the origin

therefore

The function represents a direct variation

the equation of the direct variation is equal to

$f(x)=5x$
