Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mike and Lisa are brother and sister. Mike has as many brothers as sisters, and Lisa has three times as many brothers as sisters

i.e. If Mike has x sisters, then he has x brothers.

i.e. no of sons in total = x+1 (including Mike)

No of daughters = x

Lisa's brothers = x+1 and and Lisa sisters = x-1 (exclusing Lisa)

Given that

$x+1 =3(x-1)\\2x =4\\x=2$

Hence we find that there are 3 sons and two daughters in the family.

1 glass contains 825 milliliters. how many liters in 2 glasses?

joja [24]

Answer:

1.65 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

1 glass-825 milliliters

2 glasses-? milliliters

$\frac{1}{825} =\frac{2}{x}$

$x=825*2$

$x=1650$

1 liter-1000 milliliters

? liters-1650 milliliters

$\frac{1}{1000} =\frac{x}{1650}$

$1000x=1650$

$x=1.65$

Solve the equation g^2-12g=-36

Tresset [83]

$\bold{Answer}$

$\boxed{\bold{G \ = \ 6}}$

$\bold{Explanation}$

$\bold{Solve: \ g^2-12g=-36}$

$\bold{---------------------}$

$\bold{Add \ 36 \ To \ Both \ Sides}$

$\bold{g^2-12g+36=-36+36}$

$\bold{Simplify}$

$\bold{g^2-12g+36=0}$

$\bold{Solve \ With \ Quadratic \ Formula}$
$\bold{a=1,\:b=-12,\:c=36:\quad g_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-12\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-12\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:36}}{2\cdot \:1}}$

$\bold{\left(-12\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:36 \ = \ 0}$

$\bold{g_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-12\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot \:1}}$

$\bold{g=\frac{-\left(-12\right)}{2\cdot \:1}}$

$\bold{Simplify \ \frac{-\left(-12\right)}{2\cdot \:1} \ = \ 6}$

$\bold{g=6}$

$\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}$

When Sherron inputs the equation 4x + 3 = 4(1 + x) + 1, she gets a<br> error message. Explain why.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

She gets

Step-by-step explanation:

She gets an error message because when solving a linear equation, the coefficient of the variable is not meant to be the same on both sides of the equation because it will equal 0 in the end. In this equation, you will get 4x on both sides and then the last step will be 0= 3. This is an error.
