\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}

  • Revathi's age is 1/3 of her mother's age. If their difference in age is 24 years, find Revathi's age.

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

Given,

  • Mother's age = x
  • Revathi's age = 1/3 x = ?
  • Difference in their age = 24 years ⇨ x - 1/3 x = 24.

Now, let's solve this question using the above equation which we just formed.

\sf \: x -  \frac{1}{3}x  = 24 \\

Combine x and \sf\:-\frac{1}{3}x to get \sf\frac{2}{3}x.

\sf\frac{2}{3}x=24  \\

Multiply both sides by \sf\frac{3}{2}, the reciprocal of \sf\frac{2}{3}.

\sf \: x=24\times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)

Express \sf24\times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) as a single fraction.

\sf \: x=\frac{24\times 3}{2}  \\

Multiply 24 and 3 to get 72.

\sf \: x=\frac{72}{2}  \\

Divide 72 by 2 to get 36.

\boxed{ \bf \: x=36 }

We now have the age of Revathi's mother (x) = <u>36 years</u>. Now, let's find Revathi's age ⇨ \sf\:(\frac{1}{3}x)

\rightarrow \sf \:  \frac{1}{3} x  \\  \rightarrow \sf \: \frac{1}{3}  \times 36 \\  \rightarrow \sf \: \frac{1}{ \bcancel  3}  \times  \bcancel{36} \\  \rightarrow \sf \:1 \times 12 \\  =    \boxed{\boxed{\bf \: 12}}

  • So, Revathi is <em><u>1</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>years </u></em><em><u>old.</u></em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the mother's age and r be Revathi's age

x-r=24

r=x/3 or 3r=x

Revathi's age is (1/3)*x or x/3

we replace in the first equation x with 3 r

3r-r=24

2r=24

r=12 Revathi's age is 12

His mom is 36

the difference between their age is 36-12=24

Which of the following linear systems has a solution <br> (5,0)<br> SOMEONE PLS HELPPP
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

out of the choices

A) 2x-y=-2

3x+2y=-10

B) x+4y=3

2x+5y=3

C) 2x+3y=5

x-4y=-14

D) 3x+4y=15

x+y=5

only the system in D has a solution of x=5 and y=0

solve by substitution x+y=5 so x=5-y

plug into the other equation so 3(5-y)+4y=15

distribute 15-3y+4y=15 then minus 15 on both sides and combine like terms

so y=0 then put that value back into the other equation

so x+y=5 equals x+0=5 so x=5 this means the solution to the system of equations is the point (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)

Solve the inequality for u.<br> 22≤-4u-2<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
larisa [96]

Answer:

<u>u ≤ -6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • 22 ≤ -4u - 2

Add 2 on both sides :

  • 22 + 2 ≤ -4u - 2  + 2
  • -4u ≥ 24

Divide both sides by -4 (remember the sign changes direction when divided by a negative number) :

  • -4u/-4 ≥ 24/-4
  • <u>u ≤ -6</u>
