Let Casey's age be x

Brian's age will be -3 from 2 times x ( Casey's age ) so it will be 2x-3

Adam's age will be Casey's age (x) + 9 which is x+9

NOW the sum of all these ages is 46 so..

Casey's age + Brian's age + Adam's age = 46

x + 2x-3 + x+9 = 46

2x + x + x + 9 -3 = 46

4x + (9 - 3) = 46

4x - 6 = 46

now transfer the numbers on the left one by one to the other side( right )

4x = 46 - 6        ( always remember the sign of the number becomes the                            opposite when we transfer them to other side)

4x = 40

x = 40 / 4

x = 10

so x = Casey's age = 10

2x - 3 = Brian's age = 2 * 10 - 3

                                = 20 - 3   =   17

x + 9 = Adam's age = 10 + 9 = 19

What numbers make this expression undefined x^2+3/x^2-11x-12
marusya05 [52]

\frac{ {x}^{2}  + 3}{ {x}^{2}  - 11x - 12}

Because which numbers will make the expessions undefined. We will focus on the denominator only.

Factor the terms.

(x - 12)(x + 1)

Now which 2 numbers that will make these terms become 0?

12 and - 1 of course.

So these 2 numbers that will make the expressions undefined are 12 and - 1

B2-4b+4=0 using quadratic forumla
Ivan

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term   

Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span> 
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span>  1 • 4 = 4</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span>     </span></span>

<span><span>-4   +   -1   =   -5</span><span>     -2   +   -2   =   -4   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  -2 
                     <span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    b • (b-2)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (b-2)  •  (b-2)
             Which is the desired factorization

The table summarizes the result of spinning the spinner shown.
weqwewe [10]
Hello!

Experimental probability is the probability in relation to the data that has been collected. In this example, adding up the times spun we get 18 times spun. Where red was spun 6 times, this is 1/3 of what was done.

Our answer is B) 1/3.

Hope this helped!

Given klmn is a trapezoid, kl = mn, m&lt;1 = m&lt;2, lm/kn = 8/9, pklmn = 132. Find: the length of the legs
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached in the answer.

As both the angles are equal thus the two forms isosceles triangles. This is true because the converse of base angle theorem is applicable here. The theorem clearly states that when a trapezoid is divided by the diagonal, it forms two set of angles where m<1=m<2 and m<lmk=m<nmk

This leads the two set of legs such as

\dfrac{lm}{kn}=\dfrac{8}{9}

Or this could be written as

lm=8x\\kn=9x

Now the remaining two sides are given as

lk=lm as this form an isosceles triangle so

lk=8x

Similarly

mn=lm\\

Or

mn=8x

Now the perimeter is given as

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\

Here perimeter is given as 132 so this gives:

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\132=8x+8x+8x+9x\\132=33x\\x=\dfrac{132}{33}\\x=4

So the four legs are of length as given below:

lm=8x=8\times 4=32\\mn=8x=8\times 4=32\\lk=8x=8\times 4=32\\kn=9x=9\times4=36

So the length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.
