Answer:

(x-3) years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Age of Jonathan= x years

Sage is 7 years older than Jonathan

It means

Age of Sage=(x+7) years

We have to find the age of Sage 10 years ago.

10 Years ago,

Age of Jonathan=(x-10) years

Age of Sage=(x+7-10) years

Age of Sage=(x-3) years

Hence, 10 years ago, age of Sage =(x-3) years

Answer:

28 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

'x' = 1st consecutive #

'x+2' = 2nd consecutive #

x + x+2 = 58

2x + 2 = 58

2x = 56

x = 28

x+2 = 30

1. Given points A(3, -5) and B(19, -1), find the coordinates of point C that sit 3/8 of the way along line AB, closer to A than

zaharov [31]

1. C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)

2. C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)

Solution:

Question 1:

Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).

C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Point divides segment in the ratio formula:

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Here, $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=19, y_2=-1$ and m = 3, n = 8

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{3\times19+8\times3}{3+8} , \frac{3\times(-1)+8\times(-5)}{3+8}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{57+24}{11} , \frac{-3-40}{11}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{81}{11} , \frac{-43}{11}\right)$

C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)

Question 2:

Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).

C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Point divides segment in the ratio formula:

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Here, $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=19, y_2=-1$ and m = 7, n = 1

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{7\times19+1\times3}{7+1} , \frac{7\times(-1)+1\times(-5)}{7+1}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{133+3}{8} , \frac{-7-5}{8}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{136}{8} , \frac{-12}{8}\right)$

C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)

What is the greatest common factor of 8x and 22xy?

RideAnS [48]

The greatest common factor of 8x and 22yx is 2x.

I got this answer by factoring out 8 and 22:

8: 1,2,4,8

22: 1,2,11,22

Their greatest common factor was 2 and they both have x.

Your answer is 2x.
