Let’s take T for Trevon and R for Riggs.

T = 7 years older than R which can be written as T = R + 7

Their combined age is 49.

Therefore, T + R = 49

We need to find Trevon’s age (T.)

We can substitute R + 7 for T in the equation

T + R = 49.

We have:

R + 7 + R = 49
Now solve.

2R + 7 = 49

2R = 42

R = 21

We have found Riggs’ age which is 21.

Add 7.

Trevon’s age is 28.

Answer:

Trevon is 28 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Riggs =x

Trevon =7+x

7+x+x=49

7+2x=49

2x=49-7

2x=42

x=21

Trevon is 21+7= 28 years old

What is the solution to the following system of linear equations?
OverLord2011 [107]
There are two ways to solve system of equations.

1) substitution method

2) elimination method

4x - y = -6

x - 2y = -5

For thus problem, i'll be using the substitute method.

So, using the equation x - 2y = -5:

Solve for "x" by adding 2y to both sides of the equation.

x = 2y - 5

Now we know what "x" is, we can substitute it in the other equation.

4x - y = -6

4(2y - 5) - y = -6

8y - 20 - y = -6

7y - 20 = -6

7y = 14

y = 2

We now know the numerical value of y. So, all we have to do is plug in y into either system of equation to solve for the numerical value of x.

4x - 2 = -6 x - 2y = -5

4x = -4 x - 2(2) = -5

x = -1 x - 4 = -5

x = -1



The solution is (-1, 2) where x equals -1 and y equals 2.

Tarinda's corn plant was 7- 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1. The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2. Ho
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 and 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1.

The height at the end of week 1, as a simple fraction, is:

7 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3*7 + 1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}

The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2.

At the end of week 2, the height will be of:

18 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{18*2+1}{2} = \frac{37}{2}

How many inches did the corn plant grow during Week 2?

Height at the end of week 2 subtracted by the height at the end of week 1. So

\frac{37}{2} - \frac{22}{3} = \frac{3*37-2*22}{6} = \frac{67}{6} = 11.17

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Welcome to Brainly!

5(n-2) = 2+5n + 2n fits your equation.  After multiplication, we have

5x - 10 = 2 + 7n

Combining like terms, we get:

-12 = 2n, so that n = -6.
