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

x=\frac{-{\color{#e8710a}{b}} \pm \sqrt{{\color{#e8710a}{b}}^{2}-4{\color{#c92786}{a}}{\color{#129eaf}{c}}}}{2{\color{#c92786}{a}}}

x=2a−b±b2−4ac​​

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

Help, please!!! Coordinate planes: find the distance. Thanks for helping!
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The answer would be 11.3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is figure out how far one is from the other so from 7.8 I went back to 0 of course the Y coordinate stays the same. So then you get the -3.5 make it a positive so just 3.5 and then add to 7.8 to get 11.3

Hope this helped.

A brainliest is always appreciated.

Factor the expression using the GCF.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

= 3 (3x + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the GCF of 9 and 15 which would be 3. Then the GCF which is 3 is placed on the left of the parentheses. then you plug in the numbers. So 9x divided by 3 is 3x, and 15y divided by 3 is 5y.
