Two siblings' ages have a sum of 64 years. The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling.

Hi!

So we have to make a system of equations here.

Let sibling 1 be O and sibling 2 be Y (for older and younger)

So:

O + Y = 64

O = 64 - Y

(Either one works)

The older sibling is 6 years older.

O = Y + 6

Make everything in terms of Y.

64 - Y = Y + 6

Same to both:

58 = 2y

2y = 58

Divide by 2 on both sides:

y = 29

Since the older sibling is 6 years older:

29 + 6 = 35

Y = 29

O = 35

Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer:

A: f(x)\leq -2

Step-by-step explanation:

After graphing the equation, the highest point is (-1,-2). Since f(x) is the 2nd number in the coordinates (x, f(x)), the range is f(x)\leq -2

all unicorns on rainbow island are either green or yellow. every time the clock strikes midnight the unicorns change their color
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).

You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.

e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?

To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.

In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
