<h3>How to find an approximate solution of a one-variable equation</h3>
The solution of the equation is between x = 4 and x = 5. Now we begin by evaluating each side of the expression (f(x) = x² - 5 · x + 4, g(x) = 2 / (x - 1)) at the average of x = 4 and x = 5.
x = (4 + 5) / 2
x = 4.5
f(4.5) = 4.5² - 5 · 4.5 + 1
f(4.5) = - 5 / 4
g(4.5) = 2 / (4.5 - 1)
g(4.5) = 4 / 7
The solution of the equation is between x = 4.5 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:
x = (4.5 + 5) / 2
x = 4.75
f(4.75) = 4.75² - 5 · 4.75 + 1
f(4.75) = - 3 / 16
g(4.75) = 2 / (4.75 - 1)
g(4.75) = 8 / 15
The solution of the equation is between x = 4.75 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:
x = (4.75 + 5) / 2
x = 4.875
f(4.875) = 4.875² - 5 · 4.875 + 1
f(4.875) = 25 / 64
g(4.875) = 2 / (4.875 - 1)
g(4.875) = 16 / 31

First draw F between E and G in a line.
FG = EG - EF
FG = 4x - 3 - x - 7
FG = 3x - 4
Answer:
Maggie is 13 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
1M + 1B = 62
rearrange to get:
1B = 62 - 1M
4M - 3 = 1B
substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:
4M - 3 = 62 - 1M
Get all the variables on one side:
4M + 1M - 3 = 62
Get all non variables on the other side:
4M + 1M = 62 + 3
simplify:
5M = 65
Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:
M = 13.
BONUS:
M + B = 62
B = 49
So her brother is 49 years old.
Maggie is 13 years old.
Answer: 1,045 passengers
Step-by-step explanation:
This question involves multiple steps. Let's first try to figure the number of children on the cruise.
The ratio of girls to the total number of children was 2:5. There are 198 boys.
This information tells me that for every 5 children, there's 2 girls and 3 boys.
Based off of this information, we can divide the total number of boys by 3 in order to find the number of children.
198÷3=66
Let's multiply 66 by 5 since that's the number of groupings based off the ratio.
66×5=330
Let's check the number of children. Since the ratio of girls to total children is 2:5 and we already confirmed there's 198 boys, there should be 132 girls. We can turn this ratio into a fraction where 2/5 of the children are girls. we can confirm this by multiply 330 by 2/5 (0.4) and getting 132.
There are 330 children on the cruise.
The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children was 13:6.
For every 6 children, there were 13 adults. Let's divide the number of children by 6 in order to find the number of groupings.
330÷6=55
Let's now multiply the groupings by 13 to find the number of adults.
55×13=715
So there should be 715 adults and 330 children on the cruise.
715+330=1,045
Y=6
