kyle is 18 and megan is 9, because 9 + 18 = 27 and 27 / 3 = 9. hope this helps :)

Answer:

Kyle's age = 18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Megan's age = x

Kyle's age = 2x

Combined ages of Megan and Kyle = 27

x + 2x = 27

3x = 27 {Divide both sides by 3}

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

Megan's age = 9 years

Kyle's age = 2 * 9 = 18 years

Answer: D

Explanation:

Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.

Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5

A) results in 2, so eliminate it

B) results in -2, so eliminate it

C) results in 5, so eliminate it

D) results in -5, so keep it

Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.

Answer:

3 79/100

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\dfrac{1}{5}+2\dfrac{1}{5}\div\dfrac{5}{11}-3\dfrac{2}{5}\times\left(-1\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\qquad\text{given}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5}+\left(\dfrac{11}{5}\cdot\dfrac{11}{5}\right)-\left(\dfrac{17}{5}\cdot\dfrac{5}{4}\right)\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5}+\dfrac{121}{25}-\dfrac{17}{4}=\dfrac{320+484-425}{100}=\dfrac{379}{100}\\\\=\boxed{3\dfrac{79}{100}}$
