Hello there!

Your questions states: <span>The ratio of the ages of two children is 2:3. If the younger child is 4 years old, how old is the other child?

We know when child A is 2, child B is 3.

To make child A 4, we must multiply his age by 2.

Now we must multiply child B's age by 2, as what you to one side, you must do to the other.

2 * 3 = 6

When child a (the younger child) is 4, child b is 6.

Hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

So if the ratio is 2:3, then the younger child would represent the 2. so it would be 2:3 is 4:x. Thereby, the answer would be 6, because of proportions. To check, simplify 4:6, and you would get 2:3.

Find an equation of the line given one point and the slope. (–10, –5);

allochka39001 [22]

You forgot to provide the slope but here is how you do this

the slope 5 = (y2 - y) / (x2 - x) but we know that (x2, y2) = (-10, -5)
=> (-5 - y) / (-10 - x) = 5 --- multiply both sides by (-10 - x)
=> (-5 - y) = 5 (-10 - x)
=> (-5 - y) = -50 - (5)x --- add +5 to both sides
=> -y = (-50 + 5) - (5)x --- multiply both sides -1
=> y = 5x + 45 --- this will be your equation.

Answer:

9. x=-6, y=0

10. x=-9, y=-10

11. x=3, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-9y=-12\\3x+18y=-18$

Multiply the first equation by 2.

$4x-18y=-24\\3x+18y=-18$

Add the equations.

$7x=-42$

$x=-6$

We figured out x now we have to figure out y. To figure out y plug in x into any equation.

$2(-6)-9y=-12$

$-12-9y=-12$

$-9y=0$

$y=0$

Your answer is x = -6 and y = 0 for number nine.

$6x+3y=24\\2x+3y=-12$

Change the signs of the second equation becuase 3y and 3y are both positive. We need one of them to be negative.

$6x+3y=24\\-2x-3y=12$

Add them.

$4x = 36$

$x=9$

Now we have to figure out y.

$2(9)+3y=-12$

$18+3y=-12$

$3y=-30$

$y=-10$

x=-9 and y=-10 is your answer to number ten.

$10x+5y=25\\-7x-3y=-18$

$30x+15y=75\\-35x-15y=-90$

$-5x=-15$

$x=3$

$-7(3)-3y=-18$

$-21-3y=-18$

$-3y=3$

$y=-1$

x=3 and y=-1 is the answer to number eleven. I hope this helps! Let me know if I got anything wrong.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

400 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert cm to mm, you add a 0, or more specifically, multiply by 10. so, 15 × 10= 150. 250+150=400.
