Answer:

Beth is five years old.

Step-by-step:

Beth + Julio + Gerald + Debra = 38

B + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (2 x Gerald) = 38

Since we know that Gerald is twice as old as Beth and Debra is twice as old as Gerald. That makes Debra four times older than Beth.

Beth + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (4 x Beth) = 38

B +  (B -2) + (2B) + (4B) = 38

Simplfy the like terms.

8B - 2 = 38

Add 2 on both sides.

8B = 38 + 2

8B = 40

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the variable.

8/8 B = 40/8

B = 5

What is the difference between Delta x and dx? ...?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Δx (delta x) is about a secant line, a line between two points representing the rate of change between those two points. That's a "differential" (between the two points).

dx is about a tangent line to one point, representing an instantaneous rate of change. That makes it a "derivative."

(x-1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 73<br> What is the center ?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

centre = (1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 1)² + (y + 3)² = 73 ← is in standard form

with (h, k ) = (1, - 3 ) ← centre
