Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:
Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and M + B = 29 (Given) OR B = 29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):
29 -M = 2.M -10
29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6
Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old
Answer:
x=-69/7
Step-by-step explanation:
f (-1) f (x)=(x-10) 3+4
-1=(x-10) 3+4
-1=(x-10) 7
You will multiply 7 by (x-10)
-1=7x-70
Well move the-1 to the right hand side which will become+1 and move the+7x to the left hand side which will become -7x
-7x=-70+1
-7x=-69
So you will divide both sides by-7
-7x/7=-69/7
x=-69/7
Answer:
yes!!
