Erin is 8 years younger than twice Paula’s age. The sum of their ages is 40. How old is Erin

1 answer:

6 0

You do the sum(40) subtracted by 8, the answer from that divided by 2 since Erin's two times younger.
40-8=32
32÷2=16
Then if you want to check it you do the opposite and get the same sum(40) so 16×2=32 and 32+8=40

Nautical flags are used to represent letters of alphabets. The flag for the letter O consists of a yellow right triangle and a r

liraira [26]

Answer:

The length of a side of the flag is 7.2inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = x

Let hypotenuse = x+3

Using Pythagoras' Theorem:

x^2 + x^2 = (x+3)^2

x^2 + x^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9

2x^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9

×^2 - 6x - 9 = 0

$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

x=[-(-6)+sqrt.(-6)^2-4(1)(-9)]/2(1)

×=[6+sqrt.72]/2

×=7.2inches

×=[-(-6)+sqrt.(-6)^2-4(1)(-9)]/2(1)

x=[6-sqrt.72]/2

×=-1.2(rej)

(PS. sqrt is square root)

For each of the equations below, solve for y in terms of x. !<br> a. 2x – 3y = 12

ira [324]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x$
