To solve this problem, we must set up a system of equations. In this case, let's let Maggie's age be represented by the variable m and her brother's age be represented by the variable b. We are told that the sum of their ages is 24, which gives us our first equation: m + b = 24. We can construct our next equation from the first sentence of given information: b = 2m - 3. This makes our system of equations:
m + b = 24
b = 2m - 3
To solve, we are going to substitute the value for b in terms of m given by the second equation into the first equation for the variable b.
m + b = 24
m + 2m - 3 = 24
To simplify, we must first combine the variable terms on the left side of the equation using addition.
3m - 3 = 24
Next, we should add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.
3m = 27
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 in order to get the variable m alone.
m = 9
Therefore, Maggie is 9 years old (using the first equation and substituting in this value you can find that her brother is 15 years old).
Hope this helps!
Answer:
For the first 30 minutes, we will have a line with a given steepness, this will represent the 30 minutes riding at a fast pace.
Then he stops for 20 minutes, we will represent this with a constant line.
Then he again moves for another 30 minutes, but with a slower pace than in the first 30 minutes, then this line will be less steep than the first line.
A sketch of this situation can be seen below.
Answer:
B has a higer probability
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>hello!</h3>
We're given a point that the line intersects and its slope.
Let's use Point-slope:-
y1 = -5
m=-5
x1=-1
Convert to slope-intercept:-
Finally,
