Answer:

James = 1 year

Austin = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let James age = x

Let Austin's age = y

James is four years younger than Austin.

x = y - 4

If three times James age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

3(x - 4) + y² = 28

Hence,

Note: x = y - 4

Hence,

3y - 12 + y² = 28

3y + y² - 12 - 28 = 0

y² + 3y - 40 = 0

y² + 8y - 5y - 40 = 0

y(y + 8) - 5(y + 8 ) = 0

(y + 8)(y - 5)

y = -8

y = 5 years

x = y - 4

x = 5 - 4

x = 1 years.

A triangle has vertices at f (-7,3),g(2,6) and h(3,5)
Allisa [31]

Answer:

F(-7,3)  -> F'(-7,-3)

G(2,6) -> G'(2,-6)

H(3,5) ->H'(3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are taking point (a,b) and reflecting it across the x-axis (the horizontal axis), your x value is going to stay the same because you want the point on the same vertical line as (a,b).  The y-coordinate is going to be opposite because you want a reflection and the opposite of b will this give you the same distance from the x-axis as b.

So the transformation is this: (a,b)  -> (a,-b).

All this means is leave x the same and take the opposite of y.

F(-7,3)  -> F'(-7,-3)

G(2,6) -> G'(2,-6)

H(3,5) ->H'(3,-5)
