Answer:
Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.
x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14
Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.
21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14
3x + 7(x + 2) = 294
3x + 7x + 14 = 294
10x = 280
x = 28
x + 2 = 30
Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.
The solutions to this equasion are x = 0 and y=1.
After carefully looking over my notes and gathering all my knowledge of college mathematics, I can honestly say that I have no idea what the answer is.
Answer: The correct answer is the last choice.
In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.
In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words it didn't move.
In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.
