Answer:

Obi's age is 18 and Oba's age is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Obi's age be x and Oba's age be y

<u><em>Condition 1:</em></u>

x = 2y -----------(1)

<u><em>Condition 2:</em></u>

(x-4) = 3(y-4)

=> x -4 = 3y-12

=> x - 3y = -9  -----(2)

<u><em>Putting eq (1) in (2)</em></u>

2y - 3y = -9

=> -y = -9

=> y = 9

Now,

x = 2y

=> x = 2(9)

=>  x= 18

Answer:

8\\4

Step-by-step explanation:

Obi's age is x.

Oba's age is 2x.

4 years ago, Obi's age was x-4.

4 years after, Obi's age is 2x-4

3 times more than Oba's, so 3(x-4)

2x - 4 = 3( x - 4)

2x - 4 = 3x-12

2x - 3x = -12+4

-1x=-8

x=8

x-4\\(8)-4=4

The quotient of any two numbers, with the condition that the denominator is different from zero
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The quotient of any two numbers can be written as:

A/B

such that:

A, B ∈ {R}

Where {R} is the set of all real numbers.

But we also have the restriction that the denominator, B in this case, must be different than zero.

So we can define the set:

{R \ {0}}

As the set of all the real numbers minus the element 0.

So in this set we do not have the number zero, so now we can write our expression as:

A/B

A ∈ {R}, B ∈ {R \ {0}}

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-4,-13) and (19,11)
inysia [295]
The slope of the line is the gradient, which you can find through rise over run

m (gradient) = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

where (x1, y1) is the coordinate of the first point, and (x2, x2) is the coordinate of the second point

in your question: 
x1 = -4
x2 = 19
y1 = -13
y2 = 11

m = (-13 -11) / (-4 -19) = -24 / -23 = 24/23 or 1.04 (2d.p.)

hope that helps :)

Which function is graphed?
Alexandra [31]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

C. {x² + 4, x < 2

    {-x + 4   x ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a piecewise function, where the two equations are different. They are:

y = x²+ 4

y = -x + 4

The function x² + 4 is graphed where x < 2. (< is used because the circle is open)

The function -x + 4 is graphed where x ≥ 2. (≥ is used since the endpoint is closed)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. x² + 4, x < 2

   -x + 4   x ≥ 2
