Answer:

Levi is 53 yrs now

Step-by-step explanation:

sum = 76yrs

Levi = 3x -8

Monique = x - 8

8yrs ago

sum= 76 - 8 - 8( the two 8s are from each of the two brothers).

= 60yrs

Levi=3x

Monique=x

3x + x = 60

4x = 60

x = 15yrs

Levi = 3x

= 15 x 3

= 45 yrs(8yrs ago)

now = 45 + 8

= 53yrs now

Monique = x

= 15

now = 15 + 8

23yrs now

Brayden, Howard, and Vincent are on the football team. During a game, Brayden gains 1 less than 5 times the average number of ya

Gnoma [55]

Answer: If two pair is parallel then it has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the number of gained yards by each player be y

For the case of Brayden:

Equation will be

$y=5x-1\\\\y-5x=-1$

For the case of Howard :

Equation will be

$y=5x+1\\\\y-5x=1$

For the case of Vincent :

$y=4x+5\\\\y-4x=5$

Since First two equations are parallel so it has no solution.

Reason:

$y-5x=1\\\\y-5x=-1\\\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\\\\\frac{1}{1}=\frac{5}{5}\neq \frac{1}{-1}$

Hence, if two pair is parallel then it has no solution.
