Samreen's brother is 8 years younger than three times her age. The sum of their ages is 32.

Answer:
Samreen’s age is 10
Samreen’s brother’s age is 22

Explanation:
Let s be equal to Samreen’s age.
Let b be equal to Samreen’s brother’s age.

3s-8=b
s+b=32

Substitute the first equation into the second as b
s+b=32
s+(3s-8)=32
Open up the parentheses
s+3s-8=32
4s-8=32
Add 8 to both sides
4s-8+8=32+8
4s=40
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate s
4s/4=40/4
s=10

Therefore, Samreen’s age is 10.

To find Samreen’s brother’s age, we substitute 10 into either of our original equations and solve for b.

s+b=32
10+b=32
Subtract both sides by 10
10+b=32-10
b=22

Therefore, Samreen’s brother’s age is 22.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions :)

y ≥ -3

1c) For values of x less than -1, the function's output is 1. This matches g(x) and s(x). At x=0, the function's output is -3, which only matches g(x). The appropriate choice is ...

melanie made a circular necklace she puts beads evenly spaced around the necklace if the 4th bead is directly across from the 11

dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 4th lies opposite the 11th, then you know the 3rd lies opposite the 10th, the 2nd opposite the 9th, and the 1st opposite the 8th; meanwhile, in the reverse direction you'd find that the 5th lies opposite the 12th, the 6th opposite the 13th, and the 7th opposite the 14th. Move up one more bead and you're back at the 1st, which you already know lies opposite the 8th. Therefore there are 14 total bead

Identify the values that should be written to complete the X diagram.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

See the attachment for what goes on your X diagram.

Rewrite: x² -7x +4x -28

Grouping: (x² -7x) +(4x -28) = x(x -7) +4(x -7) = (x +4)(x -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic is ...

... x² -3x -28 . . . . . a=1, b=-3, c=-28

a) The value at the top of the X diagram is the product a·c = 1·(-28) = -28.

The value at the bottom of the X diagram is the coefficient b = -3.

The values on the sides of the diagram are the factors of -28 that add up to make -3. These are -7 and 4. That is, ...

(-7)·(4) = -28

(-7)+(4) = -3

b) Since the two values on the sides of the diagram add up to give "b", the value of "b" in the equation can be rewritten as the sum of these two numbers. Doing that, we have ...

... x² -3x -28

... = x² +(-7+4)x -28

... = x² -7x +4x -28 . . . . . . order does not matter. It could also be x² +4x -7x -28

c) We can group pairs of terms in the rewritten expression and factor each pair.

... = (x² -7x) +(4x -28) . . . . . first pair has a common factor of x; second pair, 4

... = x(x -7) +4(x -7) . . . . . . . these terms now have a common factor: (x -7)

... = (x +4)(x -7) . . . . . . . . . . the complete factorization of x² -3x -28
