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

After t seconds, a ball tossed in the air from the ground level reaches a height of h feet given by the equation h = 144t-16t^2
lesantik [10]
144t-16t^2= 16t(9-t)
after 3 seconds (just substitute t=3):
16(3)(9-3)=
16(3)(6)=
16*18=
288
maximum height: find the average of the roots:
the roots of 16t(9-t) are t=0 or t=9
since it's a parabola, the maximum is at t=4.5, at 324 ft
if its height is 224 feet, the equation is 224=144t-16t^2
16t^2-144t+224=0
divide by 16: t^2-9t+14=0
this can be factored as (t-2)(t-7)=0
the roots are t=2 and t=7, so the ball has been in the air for either 2 seconds or 7 seconds
the roots to 144t-16t^2 are 0 and 9, so the ball will hit the ground 9 seconds after being thrown

Determine if the following equation has "One Solution", "No Solutions", or "Infinite Many Solutions".
Novosadov [1.4K]
First, distribute the 2.
2x+6=6+2x
These are the same, so therefore it is infinitely many, because whatever you plug in for x will work.

How to do the equation for the sum of three consecutive integers is 467
Dvinal [7]
Call n, the first of those consecutive terms, then three consecutive terms are:n, n +1, and n +2.

So, the equation will be n + (n +1) + (n +2) = 467

=> n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 467

=> 3n + 3 = 467

All of them are valid forms of the equation for the sum of three consecutive integers is 467.

You can solve it now, if you want:

3n = 467 - 3

3n = 464

n = 464 / 3

n = 154.6

The solution means that there are not three consecutive numbers whose sume is 467.

You can verifiy that if you take 154 + 155 + 156 = 465

And 155 + 156 + 157 = 468

an angle measures 24° less than the measure if a supplementary angle . what is the measure of each angle​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Hey there!

If two angles are supplementary, that means that the measures of the two angles have a sum of 180.

If the two angles were of equal measure, they would both be 90 degrees.

The easiest way to get this would be to subtract 12 degrees from one 90 degree angle and add them to the other 90 degree angle so one angle has 24 more degrees then the other.

90 - 12 = 78

90 + 12 = 102

Let's check to make sure this works.

102 + 78 = 180 That checks out.

102 - 24 = 78 That also works.

So, the measures of the angles are 102 and 78.

Hope this helps!
