Answer:

Here, K represents the current age of Katie and T represents the current age of Thomas.

(a)

As per the statement:

Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas.

⇒K = 2T                ......[1]

It is also given that in 6 years Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age.

K+6 = 4T

K+6 = 4T

Subtract 6 from both sides we get;

K = 4T-6                    ......[2]

A system of equations that describe the situation is:

K = 2T

K+6 = 4T

(b)

To find the solution:

equate [1] and [2] we have;

4T-6 = 2T

Subtract 2T from both sides we have;

2T-6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides we get;

2T = 6

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

T = 3 years

Substitute this in equation [1] we get;

K = 2(3) = 6 years.

Therefore, the current age of Katie and Thomas are 6 years and 3 years.

Given: p: 2x = 16 q: 3x – 4 = 20 Which is the converse of p → q?
valentina_108 [34]
It seems like the details of what p and q <em>are </em>in this context aren't all that important; it's the logical structure of the statement "p⇒q" we need to look at. We read that logical statement as "p implies q," where p is our <em>hypothesis</em> and q is our <em>conclusion</em>. When we take the converse of a logical statement, we reverse the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, <em>p </em>wouldn't imply <em>q</em>, but <em>q </em>would imply <em>p</em> in the converse of p⇒q. We'd write this statement as:

q⇒p

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let he works at first store x hours and at car wash y hours. Then

x+y=25

multiply by 4

4x+4y=100  ...(1)

12x+15y=333

divide by 3

4x+5y=111   ... (2)

(2)-(1) gives

y=111-100=11

7. Expand and reduce A(x). Then calculate A(x) for x=1.<br> A (x) = (3x – 3)(3x + 2)
SashulF [63]

Given:

The function is

A(x)=(3x-3)(3x+2)

To find:

The simplified form of A(x) and value of A(x) at x=1.

Solution:

We have,

A(x)=(3x-3)(3x+2)

A(x)=(3x)(3x)+(3x)(2)+(-3)(3x)+(-3)(2)

A(x)=9x^2+6x-9x-6

A(x)=9x^2-3x-6

Putting x=1, we get

A(1)=9(1)^2-3(1)-6

A(1)=9-3-6

A(1)=9-9

A(1)=0

Therefore, the simplified form of A(x) is A(x)=9x^2-3x-6 and the value of A(x) at x=1 in 0.
