Answer:

x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sister's age = y

sister's age (y)  = 5 + x  equation 1

xy = 84  equation 2

Make y the subject of the formula in equation 2

y = 84/x

equate equation 1 and 2

84/x = 5 + x  equation 3

Multiply equation 3 by x

84 = 5x + x^2

x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0

tjis can be solved using quadratic equation

x^2 -7x + 12x -84 = 0

x(x + 12) -7(x + 12)

x = 7 or - 12

age cant be negative so his age is 7

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. All class widths are 1.
stich3 [128]

The median of the data is 5 if the all class widths are 1, option (C) is correct.

<h3>What is the median?</h3>

A median is a middle number in a series of numbers that have been arranged to lift, and it might be more informative of the set of data than the average. When there are extremes in the sequences that might affect the average of the numbers, the median is sometimes employed instead of the mean.

In the histogram, 15 data values are given:

1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9

The mid-value is 5 which is on the 8th place

Thus, the median of the data is 5 if the all class widths are 1, option (C) is correct.

Line CD passes through points C(3, –5) and D(6, 0). What is the equation of line CD in standard form?
Elden [556K]
Slope =   (y₂- y₁) / (x₂- x₁)

Points  C( 3, -5) and D (6, 0)  compare to (x₁, y₁) and  (x₂, y₂)

Slope = (0 - -5) / (6- 3)  =   (0+5) / (3) =  5/3

Slope = 5/3

Equation of line given a slope and point,   y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = 5/3,    let point C( 3, -5) = (x₁, y₁)

  y -  - 5 =  (5/3) (x - 3)
 
  y + 5  = (5/3)(x - 3)

   3(y + 5) = 5(x - 3)
  
    3y + 15 = 5x - 15

     3y =  5x - 15 - 15

     3y = 5x - 30

Hence the equation of the line is 3y = 5x - 30
