Answer: Charity is 36 years old today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Present age of daughter.

Age of Charity = 4x

Age of her husband = 4x+6

After 10 years,

Age of daughter = x+10

Age of Charity = 4x+10

Age of her husband = 4x+6+10=4x+16

As per given,

$x+10+4x+10+4x+16=117$

$9x+36=117\\\\ 9x=117-36\\\\ 9x=81\\\\ x=9$

Present age of Charity = 4(9)=36 years

Hence, Charity is 36 years old today.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Consider the functions given below. SEE F

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1. $P(x)$ ÷ $Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{-3x + 2}{3(3x - 1)}$

2. $P(x) + Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{2(6x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

3. $P(x) - Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{-2(12x - 5)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

4. $P(x)*Q(x)$ --> $\frac{12}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1. $P(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1}$

$Q(x) = \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Thus,

$P(x)$ ÷ $Q(x)$ = $\frac{2}{3x - 1}$ ÷ $\frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Flip the 2nd function, Q(x), upside down to change the process to multiplication.

$\frac{2}{3x - 1}*\frac{-3x + 2}{6}$

$\frac{2(-3x + 2)}{6(3x - 1)}$

$= \frac{-3x + 2}{3(3x - 1)}$

2. $P(x) + Q(x)$ = $\frac{2}{3x - 1} + \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Make both expressions as a single fraction by finding, the common denominator, divide the common denominator by each denominator, and then multiply by the numerator. You'd have the following below:

$\frac{2(-3x + 2) + 6(3x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{-6x + 4 + 18x - 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{-6x + 18x + 4 - 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{12x - 2}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$= \frac{2(6x - 1}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

3. $P(x) - Q(x)$ = $\frac{2}{3x - 1} - \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

$\frac{2(-3x + 2) - 6(3x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{-6x + 4 - 18x + 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{-6x - 18x + 4 + 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$\frac{-24x + 10}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$= \frac{-2(12x - 5}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

4. $P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1}* \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

$P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{2*6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

$P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{12}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$
