Answer:
Shalini = 12
Poonam = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = poonams age
Let s = shalini's age
p = 5s
p+s = 72
Substitute the first equation into the second equation
5s+s = 72
Combine like terms
6s= 72
Divide by 6
6s/6 = 72/6
s = 12
p = 5s =5*12 = 60
Shalini = 12
Poonam = 60
Answer:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that each time x increases by 1, y increases by a factor of 3.
Thus, the required equation has the form y = 3^x.
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? No. Therefore we must modify the exponent:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? 3^(1 + 0) = 3 (correct)
If x = 2, do we get 27? 3(1 + 2) = 3^3 + 27 (correct)
