Answer:

18 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Claire and y the age of her mother

Claire's mother is 4 years more than twice Claire's age

  • y = 2x+4

The sum of their ages are is 58

  • x+y = 58

the system is:

\left \{ {{y=2x-4} \atop {y+x=58}} \right.  

Multiply (y+x = 58) by -1 and then add it to (y = 2x+4) to eliminate y

  • -y-x = -58
  • -y-x+y = 2x+4-58
  • -x -2x = -54
  • -3x = -54
  • x = 54/3
  • x = 18

y= 58-18 = 40

so claire's mother is 40 years old and claire is 18

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see that-

when, x=-3 ,  y=4

That is , the graph passes through   (-3 , 4)

So,

for  x=-3 ,

we get    y=4

So, the answer is    y=4

A prism is completely filled with 80 cubes that have edge length of 12cm What is the volume of the prism?
krek1111 [17]
<h3>Answer:  138,240 cubic cm</h3>

Explanation:

If x is the side length of a cube, then x^3 is the volume. Think of it like length*width*height, but length = width = height.

It's no coincidence that the cubing operation or cubed exponent ties directly to the concept of things like volumes in cubic cm.

In this case, x = 12 cm is the side length of each small cube. The volume of each small cube is x^3 = 12^3 = 12*12*12 = 1728 cubic cm.

Eighty such small cubes get us a total volume of 80*1728 = 138,240 cubic cm.

The water level of a river is 170 feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this
Vladimir [108]

Sample Answer: No, Ingrid is incorrect. The initial value in the scenario is 170 feet, which represents the y − intercept. Receding 4 feet in the scenario represents the rate of change, which is the slope. In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y−intercept, so the correct equation is y = −4x + 170.
