Answer:

When Amina is 18. Saad would be;

k. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "x" represent Anita's current age and let "y" represent Saad's current age, we have;

Anita's age = 2 × Saad's age

Therefore;

x = 2 × y...(1)

In 4 years, we will get;

x + 4  = 1.5 × (y + 4)...(2)

Substituting the value of x in equation (1) into equation (2), we get;

2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 1.5 × 4 = 1.5·y + 6

2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 6

2·y - 1.5·y   = 6 - 4 = 2

0.5·y = 2

y = 2/0.5 = 4

Saad's current age = y = 4 years

From equation (1), we have;

x = 2 × y = 2 × 4 = 8

Amina's current age = x = 8 years

When Amina is 18, we have;

18 = 10 + 8 = 10 + x

Therefore, Amina would be 18 in 10 years time from now, from which we have;

Saad would be 10 years + y = 10 years + 4 years = 14 years in 10 years from now

Therefore, when Amina would be 18 years in 10 years from now Saad would be 14 years.

Explain how to determine if you have a direct variation or proportional relationship
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

straight line that passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Two variables are said to have a direct variation or proportional relationship if it can be represented by y = kx, where k is a constant.

Comparing this with the equation of a straight line y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0), We can tell if the say that the graph of a direct variation or proportional relationship is a straight line with no y intercept (b = 0, that is it passes through the origin).

I need to know number 5 just what it says thank you
Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! Time to use the Pythagoras theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 7^2 = x^2

16 + 49 = c^2

65 = c^2

Let's take the square root of both sides to get

c ~ 8.06

C
