<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>
Answer:
f(x)=1/2x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
1.4-5-2-3=7-6
2.-1-2-3=7-6
3.-3-3=7-6
4.-6=7-6
5.-6=1
6.since -6=1 is false, there's no solution
40 feet or 13 yards and 1 foot
using the conversion
1 yard = 3 feet then 1 yard 2 feet = 5 feet ← material for 1 pillow, hence
8 pillows require 8 × 5 = 40 feet
