Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Barry = b

Present age of sister = s

Barry is 8 years older than his sister means if we subtract 8 from present age of Barry both will be of equal age

s=b-8 ............(1)

In 3 years means we have to add 3 in their present age

s+3=b+3

then

he will be twice as old as

2(s+3)=(b+3

2s+6=b+3

2s=b+3-6

2s=b-3...............(2)

Put the value of s from (1) to (2), we have

2(b-8)=b-3

2b-16=b-3

2b-b=-3+16

b=13

Put the value of b in (1)

s=13-8

s=5

Present age of Barry = b = 13

Present age of sister = s = 5

Solve the system of eqautions <br> y=x2-5x+7 , y=2x+1
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is given as

y=x^2-5x+7 - - - - - - - - - - 1

y=2x+1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

We would equate equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

x^2-5x+7 = 2x+1

x^2-5x+7- 2x - 1 = 0

x^2-5x+7- 2x - 1 = 0

x^2 - 5x - 2x + 7 - 1 = 0

x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0

We would use the factorization method of solving quadratic equations.

x^2 - 6x - x + 6 = 0

x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6)

(x - 6)(x - 1) = 0

x - 6 = 0 or x - 1 = 0

x = 6 or x = 1

Substituting both values of x into equation 2, it becomes

For x = 6,

y=2×6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

y = 13

For x = 1,

y=2 × 1 +1 = 2 + 1 = 3

y = 3

Answer:

Megan needs a 95 to get an average of 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the test scores Megan has earlier, you would get 355 as a result of all scores added.  In order to get an average of 90%, you would need to accumulate 450 points which she will need to take her final exam on it.  Subtract 355 from 450 to get a score of 95% in which she will need that score to average it to 90%.
