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

An equilateral is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon. The square and regular hexagon are s
Kay [80]

Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle. This can be obtained by finding each shaded area and then adding them.

<h3>Find the expression for the area of the shaded regions:</h3>

From the question we can say that the Hexagon has three shapes inside it,

  • Pentagon
  • Square
  • Triangle

Also it is given that,

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon.

From this we know that equilateral triangle is the smallest, then square, then regular pentagon and then a regular hexagon.

A pentagon is shown inside a regular hexagon.

  • Area of first shaded region = Area of the hexagon - Area of pentagon

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square.

  • Area of second shaded region = Area of the square - Area of equilateral triangle  

The expression for total shaded region would be written as,

Shaded area = Area of first shaded region + Area of second shaded region

Hence,        

⇒ Shaded area  = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the  square – area of the equilateral triangle.

Which equation represents a linear function rule for the following set of ordered pairs?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The equation that represents the linear function for the set of ordered pairs is: A. y = -3x + 2.

<h3>What is the Equation of a Linear Function?</h3>

Equation of a linear function, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, is expressed as y = mx + b.

Find the slope (m):

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x = (-7 -(-4)) / (3 - 2)

Slope (m) = -3/1 = -3

Find b by substituting m = -3 and (1, -1) = (x, y) into y = mx + b:

-1 = -3(1) + b

-1 = -3 + b

-1 + 3 = b

2 = b

b = 2

Substitute m = -3 and b = 2 into y = mx + b

y = -3(x) + 2

y = -3x + 2

Therefore, the equation that represents the linear function for the set of ordered pairs is: A. y = -3x + 2.

Plsss help ill give brainiest

To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.

<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>

The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.

Data;

  • Length = 9in
  • Area = 45in^2
  • width = ?
  • length 2 = 4in
  • width 2 = 3in

area = length * width

In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as

A = length * width\\width = \frac{area}{length} \\width = \frac{45}{9} \\width = 5in

We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.

But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area

The area of the second gauze is given by

a = 3 * 4 = 12in^2

From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
