Answer:

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Alicia be x

Let the age of Quentin be y

Let the age of Rosalyn be z

If the sum of the siblings’ ages, in years, is 48 then;

x+y+z = 48.... 1

If Rosalyn is two years older than Quentin then;

z =y+2 ..... 2

Also if Quentin is four years younger than Alicia then;

y = x-4 ... 3

From 3:

x = y+4 ... 4

Substitute 2 and 4 into 1 to have:

y+4+y+y+2 = 48

3y + 6= 48

3y = 48-6

3y= 42

y = 14

Since x= y+4

x = 14+4

x = 18

Since z = y+2

z = 14+2

z = 16year

This means that;

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

We can Add/Subtract 7 to the x-value or y-value of the point.

(10, 6)

(10 - 7, 6)

(3, 6)

(10 + 7, 6)

(17, 6)

(10, 6 - 7)

(10, -1)

(10, 6 + 7)

(10, 13)

The only point in the options is (3, 6).

Translate into equation<br> Twelve less than the one- fifth of a number is -7
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1/5x - 12 = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing says 12 less THAN. Normally, when you see something in word problems like "less than" it means you need to switch the places.

So rather than 12 - 1/5, it's 1/5 - 12.

1/5 of a number means you are multiplying that number by 1/5. we'll use x (or any letter really, doesn't matter) to represent the unknown number.

Remember that if a variable and number is written together, it means multiplication.

So, 1/5x - 12 = -7.

1 the sum of the binomials 3 + 2x and 4 – 5x. Explain how you can use the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

(3 + 2x) + (4 – 5x) = 7 - 3x

(3 + 2i) + (4 – 5i) = 7 - 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

In the addition of two binomials you have to add separately each monomial as follows:

(3 + 2x) + (4 – 5x) =

= (3 + 4) + (2x - 5x) =

= 7 - 3x

Analogously, the sum of the complex numbers 3 + 2i and 4 – 5i is made adding the two real parts from one side, and the two imaginary parts from the other side, as follows:

(3 + 2i) + (4 – 5i) =

= (3 + 4) + (2i - 5i) =

= 7 - 3i
