Sally's cat is 3 years older than Helen's dog. The product of their ages is 54. How old is Helen's dog?

The first thing that we have to do is to assign variables to the cat's and the dog's ages. Let us use c to represent the age of the cat and d for the dog's age. So, let's translate the word problem into a mathematical one.

c = d + 3

This is the first equation while the second equation is

(d+3)*d = 54

which becomes 

d^2 +3d -54 = 0

which can be factored into (d-6)(d+9). This gives us two roots which are 6 and -9. However, age is a non-negative number so we will take 6 as the age of Helen's dog. Thus, making Sally's cat 9 years old.

Pls help its due at 11:10
arlik [135]

Answer:

firstly

we all know that the angles of a triangle they all add up to 180° meaning when you add them all they must give you 180°

88°+33°+L = 180° ( sum of angle in a ∆)

121° + L = 180°

L = 180° - 121°

L = 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

first you you must add all your angles and all equal to 180°

that you add the like terms

than you transpose 121° to the right hand side

Tickets to a school production cost $5 for a student ticket and $10 for an adult ticket. A total of 67 tickets were purchased at
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Keywords:

System of equations, variables, cost, tickets, adults, children.

For this case we must solve a system of equations with two variables represented by the tickets of students and adults of a school production.

We define the variables according to the given table:

a: Number of tickets sold to adults

c: Amount of tickets sold to children.

We then have the following system of equations:

A + c = 67

10a + 5c =440

From the first equation, we clear the value of the variable c:

C = 67 - a

Answer:

The value that could replace c in the table is:

C = 67 - a

Option C is the answer!

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!
