The graph for the first is line segment joining (x, y) = (−2,−4)and (2, 4), sans the end points. The second part is the line through (-2, -6) and (-3, -9), from (-2, -6), excepting (-2, -6). ..
Step-by-step explanation: you are using y for the piecewise function.
13 and m are the factors of the term 13m
-2 and n are the factors of the term -2n
275??
16×=4400
16×/16=4400/16
x=275
Answer:
What are they asking for?
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving a story problem is identifying variables. For this problem, I will identify the variables as:
D = Drew's age
J = Jimmy's age
Once the variables are identified, we need to find as many equations as we have variables. Since we have two variables, we will have to write two equations.
Since Drew is 3 years younger than Jimmy: D + 3 = J
Since the sum of the brothers' ages is 21: D + J = 21
Once I have two equations is two variables, I can solve the system using either substitution method or elimination method. For this problem, I will use substitution method.
D + J = 21 Equation 2
D + (D + 3) = 21 Substitution of value of J from equation 1 into equation 2
D + D + 3 = 21 Associative property of addition
2D + 3 = 21 Simplify
2D + 3 - 3 = 21 - 3 Subtract 3 from each side
2D = 18 Simplify each side
2D/2 = 18/2 Divide each side by 2
D = 9 Simplify each side
Now that we have D, we can substitute it into equation 1 to get the value of J
D + 3 = J Equation 1
9 + 3 = J Substitution
12 = J Simplify
