Let y represent Tim's age and let x represent Chris's age.

y=3x

y=x+14

Set the two equations equal to each other:

3x=x+14

Subtract the x from the one side to get it on the other side.

2x=14

Divide by 2 on both sides

14/2=7

x=7

Plug it back in and see if it works:

y=3(7)=21

Other equation:

7+14=21

x=7

y=21

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: -7, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are:

-7, 0, 7, 14

We have to check all pairs of numbers with respect to sum to check that which pair of numbers sums up to zero. So first of all, we will take -7 and will find its sum with other numbers.

So,

-7+0 = -7\\-7+7=0\\-7+14 = 7

We can see that the sum of -7 and 7 is zero.

Hence,

The correct answer is: -7, 7

Number sequences 2, 12, 72, 432, 2592.... is it arithmetic, geometric, or neither?
abruzzese [7]
It is geometric because it is increasing by a common factor. If you multiply the previous number by 6 you receive the next number. If it were arithmetic you would add the number, not multiply.
