Answer:

Raj is 27 yrs and Be is 14 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Raj be x and Ben be y

case_1

x + y =37

x = 37 - y

case_2

x - 5 = 2(y -5)

x-5 = 2y -10

37 - y -5 = 2y - 10

32 + 10 = 2y + y

42 = 3y

y = 14 yrs

now,

x = 37 - 14

x = 27

Let x and y be present age of Raj and that of Ben respectively.

1. x+y=37

2. x-5=2(y-5)

from 2

x-5=2y-10

x=2y-5

Sub x=2y-5 into 1

2y-5+y=37

y=14

put y=14 into x=2y-5

x=2(14)-5

x=23

Thus, present age of Raj and Ben are 23 and 14 respectively.

Answer:

4.75x=54+2.5x    x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

x=Number of games

4.75x=54+2.5x

Subtract 2.5x from both sides:

2.25x=54

Divide both sides by 2.25:

x=24

When compared with the independent variable, how many of the graphs represent a linear relationship?
strojnjashka [21]
Since a slope differe, this is not linear relationship. Simply, if you connect all points on the graph, they will not lie on the same line. Two next graphs represent the linear relationships, so they represent the linear relationship.

Here are the first four terms of a sequence.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

  • aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the difference of terms is 4, 7 and 15 and next level difference is 4. It means the sequence is quadratic.

<u>We can compare this with simple quadratic sequence </u>

  • 1, 4, 9, 16

<u>and find out that doubling each term gives us </u>

  • 2, 8, 18, 32

This is close to our sequence, write the terms as follows to find exact rule

<u>The first term: </u>

  • a₁ = 4  = 2*1² + 2 = 2*1² + 1 + 1

<u>The second term</u>

  • a₂ = 11  = 2*2² + 3 = 2*2² + 2 + 1

<u>The third term:</u>

  • a₃ = 22 = 2*3² + 4 = 2*3² + 3 + 1

<u>The fourth term:</u>

  • a₄ = 37 = 2*4² + 5 = 2*4² + 4 + 1

<u>The nth term as per observation above is:</u>

  • aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

Andre notices that he is a little taller than Lin but is shorter than their math teacher, who is 164 centimeters tall. Write two
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Andre's height:  y < x < 164

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first of all convert each of the statements to mathematical inequalities, before we combine them.

Let Andre's height be = x

Lin's height be = y

The maths teacher's height = 164

Andre is a little taller than Lin:

x > y

Andre is shorter than their maths teacher, who is 164 centimetres

x<164

Combining the two inequalities, we have Andre's height as

y < x < 164

This means that Lin is shorter than Andre who is in turn shorter than the Maths Teacher.
