Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
Answer:
x = 1
, y = 3 thus: A is your Anser
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{2 x + y = 5 | (equation 1)
x + y = 4 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{2 x + y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y/2 = 3/2 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 2:
{2 x + y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1
, y = 3
ANSWER
The relation is not a function.
EXPLANATION
The relation is not a function because we have an x-coordinate mapping on to more than one y-coordinate.
This occurs at x=1.
The ordered pairs (1,1) and (1,3) disqualify the relation from being a function.
Hence the relation is not a function.
Answer:ca
