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

1. Identify the vertex and the y-intercept of the graph of the function y=-2(x+ 2)+2.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Please let me know if your quadratic is y=-2(x+2)^2+2.

And if so your vertex is (-2,2) and your y-intercept is (0,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

It says vertex so I'm thinking you meant y=-2(x+2)^2+2.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The vertex form of a quadratic is y=a(x-h)^2+k.  It is called that because it tells you the vertex (h,k).

So if you compare the two forms you should see -h=2 while k=2.

-h=2 implies h=-2.

So the vertex is (h,k)=(-2,2).

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and find y.

y=-2(0+2)^2+2

y=-2(2)^2+2

y=-2(4)+2

y=-8+2

y=-6

So the y-intercept is (0,-6).

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Table 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a proportional relationship there must be a constant rate of change.

The first table:

6-5 / 9-7 = 1/2

5-3 / 7-4 = 2/3

These are not equal so it is not proportional.

The second table:

10-8 / 150-120 =2/30

8-5 / 120-75 = 3/45

These are not equal so it is not proportional

The third table:

10-8 / 12-10 =2/2 = 1

8-6 / 10-8 =2/2 = 1

These are equal so this table is proportional.

What is 12c - c____ in simplest form?
bagirrra123 [75]
Imagine that the variable c represents something tangible, like an orange.  So what this equation is asking is subtract 1 orange from 12 oranges.  So you are left with 11 oranges.

Another way to think about this problem is if you rewrite the equation slightly to:
 
12c - c =
12c - 1c = 
11c
