1) The number must be greater than at least 14. This is because the limit is 14 years older.


let Ishaan = y, Christopher = x. Set the system of equation

y = 3x

y = x + 14

Set the two equations equal to each other

3x = x + 14

Simplify. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable

3x (-x) = x (-x) + 14

3x - x = 14

2x = 14

(2x)/2 = (14)/2

x = 14/2

x = 7

Christopher is 7 years old, Ishaan is 21 years old.

<u>Check: </u>

7 x 3 = 21 (True)

7 + 14 = 21 (True)

If Ishaan is 3 times as old, their difference in ages is 2 times Christopher's age. Thus, Christopher's age is 14/2 = 7.

write the equation of the line, in standard form, that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 and passes through (-7,2)
34kurt

Answer:

x+3y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-2 so m=3 old slope

the new slope must be -1/3 (opposite reciprocal of the old slope).

y-y0=m*(x-x0)

y-2=-1/3*(x-(-7))

y-2=-1/3x-1/3*7

y-2=-1/3x-7/3

3y-6=-x-7

The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C.

x+3y=6-7

x+3y=-1

PLEASE ANSWER FOR BRAINLIEST!!
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

mFG = 67r ( Where r is the radius of the circle)

∠ECF = 67°

Step-by-step explanation:

i) m FG

Join CG

∠GCF=67°

(As FG=ED and equal chords subtend equal angle at center)

Now The length of the minor arc is given by the formula

m arc FG =

\frac {C}{2 \pi} \times 2 \pi r

∠C=67

m arc FG = \frac {67}{2 \pi} \times 2 \pi r

m arc FG = 67r

Where r is the radius of the circle.

2. ∠ECF = 67°

It is because of the rule which says that equal chords subtend equal angle at center

DE = EF

Hence ∠DCE = ∠ECF
