Answer:
x is equal to 1754, so it's 1754
I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:
Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m
b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67
So this would be Maggie's age
I hope this helped :)
Answer:
- 8° per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Station A = - 6°
Station B = 2°
Rate of temperature change = x° / hour ; which is the same at both stations
Temperature at station A 3 hours after the recording is the same as the temperature in station B 4 hours after the recording ;
Temperature change in Station A:
-6 + 3x
Temperature change in station B:
2 + 4x
Temperature change in A = temperature change in B
-6 + 3x = 2 + 4x
Collect like terms
3x - 4x = 2 + 6
- x = 8
x = - 8
Hence, the rate of temperature change x in both stations is - 8° per hour
Set them up like this example:
4 8
_ = _
6 12
cross multiply by multiplying 4 by 12 and 6 by 8.
If they are equal then it is proportional.
It can be a transversal kind of intersecting.....
