THEIR AGES

Mathematics
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176

Given that 7 x − 2 y = 35 Find y when x = − 9
Sergio [31]

so x = minus 9

then

7 × (-9) - 2y = 35

-63 - 2y = 35

-2y = 35 plus 63

-2y = 98

- y = 49

y = -49

Brock walked 5/8 mile on Monday and 11/12 mile on Tuesday. How far did Brock walk on Monday and Tuesday?
harina [27]

Answer:

1 and 13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

you find a common denominator which is 24 then convert both to that number which gets you to

22/24  and 15/24

then you add 22 and 15 to get 37,

which you then make it into a mixed number by subtracting 24 from 37 to get 13/24 and you add your 1

to get 1 and 13/24 as your answer of how far Brock had walked on Mondat and Tuesday.
