We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
Answer:
me please
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there
1) asthenosphere lies below lithosphere and part of uppermantle.
it's highly viscous and behaves plastic.
it lies approximately 70-150 km below surface depending which . (50km below oceanic crust and 150km below continental crust)
2) 1/2 '4 =1/16 (4 is to the power of 1/2)
hope this helps
thank you

2x - 3y = 7 and -3x + y = 7..multiply Equation 2 by THREE and add to Equation 1
-9x + 3y = 21...........................watch the y's disappear
-7x........ = 28
x = -4
substitute -4 instead of x in either of the ORIGINAL equations
2x - 3y = 7
2(-4) - 3y = 7
-8 -3y = 7..........add 8 to both sides
-3y = 15
y = -5
im not sure
