Answer:

younger sibling = 29 years

older sibling = 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = younger sibling

y = older sibling

x + y = 64 (1)

The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling

x = y - 6 (2)

Substitute x = y - 6 into (1)

x + y = 64

y - 6 + y = 64

2y = 64 + 6

2y = 70

y = 70/2

y = 35 years

Substitute y = 35 into (2)

x = y - 6

x = 35 - 6

x = 29 years

For what value of x is the rational expression below undefined x-4/3x2-75
abruzzese [7]

The given expression is undefined when x = 5 OR x = -5

<h3>Undefined expression </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of x for which the given expression is undefined

The given expression is

x-4/3x²-75

An expression is undefined when the denominator equals zero

Thus, the expression is undefined when

3x² - 75 = 0

Now, we will determine the values of x in the equation above

3x² - 75 = 0

3x²  = 75

x² = 75/3

x² = 25

x = ±√25

x = ±5

Hence, the given expression is undefined when x = 5 OR x = -5

Name each pair of angles as corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, or consecutive. Then solve for x.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

These 2 angles are <u>alternate exterior</u> so they're equal to each other.

x + 127 = 125

x = 125 - 127

x = -2
