Answer:Alden is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation

Let x represent Alden's age.

Let y represent the age of his sister.

Let z represent the age of his second sister.

His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that

y = x + 5

y = 3z

Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is

z - 4

His brother is 2. It means that

z - 4 = 2

z = 2 + 4 = 6

y = 3z

y = 3 × 6 = 18

Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes

18 = x + 5

x = 18 - 5 = 13

Can anyone help me with these questions
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

1. 31.14

2. 46

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Using order of operations, we first simplify what's in the parentheses, so we do 4.1-(-6.2), or 4.1+6.2. This gives us -5+3.8(10.3). Next is multiplication, so we do 3.8(10.3), which gets us to -5+39.14. Lastly, we add, to get 31.14.

2. First, we solve in the parentheses. Within the parentheses, we do multiplication first, so we first do 3*-2, to get us 8-4(-6+(-13))÷2. Then, we solve inside the parentheses, so we do -6+(-13), to get 8-4(-19) ÷2.

Next, since multiplication and division are on the same level, we go from left to right, so we do -4*-19 first, to get 8+76÷2. Now we do division, to get 8+38. Lastly, we add, to get 46.

Passes through (1, -1) and (2,0)
Sauron [17]

Answer:

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope - change in y/change in x

\frac{0-(-1)}{2-1} = 1

Slope is 1

2. Find y-intercept

y = x + b

Substitute a point (2,0)

0 = 2 + b

b = -2

3. Put the equation together

y = x - 2

Using the graph, what is one solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)?
ki77a [65]

Answer: 0.5

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

g

f

​  

)(x)=  

4−5x

3x+2  f (2) = 2(2) = 4

g(2) = (2) + 4 = 6

h(2) = 5 – (2)3 = 5 – 8 = –3

Now I can evaluate the listed expressions:

(f + g)(2) = f (2) + g(2)

= 4 + 6 = 10

(h – g)(2) = h(2) – g(2)

= –3 – 6 = –9

(f × h)(2) = f (2) × h(2)

= (4)(–3)= –12

(h / g)(2) = h(2) ÷ g(2)

= –3 ÷ 6 = –0.5

A cleaning company charges $3 per square foot and a flat fee of $100. Which of the equations below shows the cost y, in dollars,
LekaFEV [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= 3x + b

As, to know the total, which is y, we need to solve for the cost

So first for money per square foot = $3

For square foot = x

So, price for x square foot = $3x (here this is the value of m)

Now, for value b,

$100 is added to the cost as its the charge, as the flat fee

So the value of b = $100

So, y=3x+100
