Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
Answer:
D b = -2E +212
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by -2 for every 1000 ft
The initial value is 212 degrees
We can use
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the initial value
y = -2x +212
We are at an elevation of E thousand ft
Replace x with E
y = -2 *E +212
b is the boiling point at this elevation
We replace y with b
b = -2E +212
<span>{x | x < 0} and {x | x > 0}</span>
The height of the cone is 8.59
The correct answer is 2y-6 let me know if you want to know how I got that
