Answer:
x=-14
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x-8)+4x= -12
-2x+16+4x=-12
2x=-28
x=-14
Answer:
Its the one at the bottom on the left
Step-by-step explanation:
It is that one because one its a polygon and has angles and is congruent
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
−x+y=0 −2x+y=−5
Multiply the first equation by -2
-2(-x+y=0)
2x-2y =0
Add this to the second equation
2x-2y =0
−2x+y=−5
-------------------
0x -y = -5
-y =-5
Multiply by -1
y = 5
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
