Let daughter be x years old. Then, Shyam is (x + 28) years old.
So,
x(x + 28) = 204
=> x² + 28x = 204
=> x² + 28x - 204 = 0
=> x² - 6x + 34x - 204 = 0
=> x(x-6) + 34(x-6)
=> (x - 6) (x + 34) = 0
=> x - 6 = 0 or x + 34 = 0
=> x = 6 or x = -34
Since any age cannot be negative, daughter's age is 6 years old.
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
Answer:
a. False
b. True
c. True
d. I think it's true
e. False
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The unit rate is 19.75 gallons per minute
b. It is true because when x=0 y is also equal to 0, therefore it passes through the origin
c. 19.75 is about 20, and 20 multiplied by 5 is 100
d. Like I said before I don't know but I hope you get it correct ._.
e. When x=8 the equation would be 19.75*8 which is equal to 158 not 150
(-9) - (-2) = -7
that should be the answer you subtract
Answer:
Priya is correct. Because 2/3 is being added to x and not multiplied, then subtracting 2/3 from both sides is the correct action.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's run through solving it that way:
2/3 + x = 4
2/3 - 2/3 + x = 4 - 2/3
0 + x = 4 - 2/3
x = 4 - 2/3
x = 10/3
