Answer:
Monica's age = 34 years
Her daughter's age = 10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Monica's age = x
Let her daughter'sage = y
x + y = 44 -------> equ 1
After 2 years:
Monica's age = x + 2
Her daughter's age = y + 2
x + 2 = 3 * (y+2)
x + 2 = 3y + 6
x = 3y + 6 -2
x = 3y + 4
Put x value in equ 1:
3y + 4 + y = 44
4y = 44 - 4
4y = 40
y = 40/4
y = 10
x = 44 -10
x = 34
Answer:
a₂ = -3
a₃ = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to insert two arithmetic means between -5 and 1
Let a₁ and b₂ be the two arithmetic means between -5 and 1
-5, a₂, a₃, 1
Here,
We know that the nth term of an Arithmetic sequence
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
a₄ = -5 + (4-1)d
1 = -5 + 3d
1 + 5 = 3d
3d = 6
Dividing both sides by 2
d = 2
Also
a₂ = a₁ + (2-1)d
a₂ = -5 + d
a₂ = -5 + 2 ∵ d = 2
a₂ = -3
a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d
a₃ = -5 + 2d
a₃ = -5 + 2(2) ∵ d = 2
a₃ = -5 + 4
a₃ = -1
Thus,
a₂ = -3
a₃ = -1
Thus, the sequence becomes:
-5, -3, -3, 1
The 3 angles when added together make a straight line which is 180 degrees. To find x subtract the 2 known angles from 180.
The answer would be x = 180 - (67 + 52)
