Answer:

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence:

b(n)=b(n−1)−7, where b(1)=−2

b(2)=b(2−1)−7

=b(1)−7

=-2-7

b(2)=-9

Therefore, the 3rd term of the sequence

b(3)=b(3−1)−7

=b(2)-7   (Recall b(2)=-9 from above)

=-9-7

b(3)=-16

The 3rd term of the sequence is -16.

1/(x-2)+1/(x+3)=1/5 solve the problem for me​

<h3>Final value : x² -9x - 11</h3>

════════════════════

<h3>Step by step </h3>

\frac{1}{(x - 2)}  +  \frac{1}{(x + 3)}  =   \frac{1}{5}

\frac{(x + 3) + (x - 2)}{(x - 2)(x + 3)}  =  \frac{1}{5}

\frac{2x + 1}{ {x}^{2} + 3x - 2x - 6 }  =  \frac{1}{5}

\frac{2x + 1}{ {x}^{2}  + x - 6}  =  \frac{1}{5}

2x + 1 = ⅕ × (x² + x - 6)

2x + 1 = ⅕x² + ⅕x - 6/5

1/5x² +1/5x - 2x - 6/5 - 1 = 0

1/5x² -9/5x - 11/5 = 0

x² - 9x - 11 = 0. #times by 5

Answer:

x ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a closed circle x could also be equal to 1. Also, since the arrow is pointing away from 1 the answer of x is greater than 1, therefore the answer is x ≥ 1.
