Answer:

Juan = 93 years.

Gabe = 31 years.

Catherine = 25 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Juan = J

Let the age of Gabe = G

Let the age of Catherine = C

<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;</em>

J = 3G ..........equation 1

G = C + 6 ........equation 2

J + G + C = 149 ........equation 3

<em>We would solve the linear equations by using the substitution method; </em>

<em>Substituting equation 2 into equation 1;</em>

J = 3(C + 6)

J = 3C + 18 ........equation 4

<em>Substituting equation 2 and equation 4 into equation 3;</em>

(3C + 18) + (C + 6) + C = 149

<em>Simplifying the equation, we have;</em>

5C + 24 = 149

5C = 149 - 24

5C = 125

C = \frac {125}{5}

C = 25 years.

To find G; from equation 2

G = C + 6

Substituting the value of "C" into equation 2, we have;

G = 25 + 6

G = 31 years.

To find J; from equation 1

J = 3G

Substituting the value of "G" into equation 1, we have;

J = 3 * 31

J = 93 years.

<em>Therefore, Juan is 93 years old, Gabe is 31 years old and Catherine is 25 years old. </em>

Is 16x2 - 16x + 4 a perfect square?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the completing the square method:

16(x^2-x)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - (1/2)^2)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - 1/4)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2) - 16/4 + 4

=16(x-1/2)^2

=4^2(x-1/2)^2

The product of two square is itself a square.

If the diameter of a circle changes from 18 cm to 6 cm, how will the circumference change?
omeli [17]
We know that 

the length of a circumference=2*pi*r
for D1=18 cm--------------> r1=9cm
L1=2pi*9-------> 18pi cm

for D2=6 cm-----------> r2=3 cm
L2=2pi*3-------> 6pi cm

L2/L1----------> (6pi)/(18pi)---->1/3

the answer is the option A) multiplies by 1/3
