Let me help you with this :)
John = x
Mike = y
x = 4 + 3y (4 more than 3 times)
x + y = 20 (we put the x above into this equation)
4 + 3y + y = 20
4y = 16 (we transfers the 4 on the left side to the right side and subtract it from the 20)
y = 4 (the answer is 4)
we use this for the equation:
x = 4 +3*4
x = 16
John is 16 years old and Mike is 4 years old :)
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an 8/20 chance that the next person will receive a window seat. You simplify that probability to get your answer. 8/20 becomes 2/5. So the answer is 2/5.
Answer:
It's 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
It's closer to 0 than the other fractions
Answer:
x=-6 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
squared both sides
solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=-6 and x=-1
see the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
substitute the value of x in the original expression
For x=-6
----> is not true
so
Is an extraneous solution
For x=-1
----> is true
so
Is the solution
Answer:
not possible
