Answer:
Theresa's height=60 inches
Paul's height= Steve's height=74 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Theresa has two brothers,Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height. Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height. If they're both right, how tall is Theresa ?
Let
p=paul's height
s=steve's height
t=theresa's height
Paul's height = Steve's height
p=s
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height
1 1/2 * t -16
=3/2t -16
Steve says he is 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height
1 1/3 * t - 6
=4/3t - 6
P=S
3/2t -16 = 4/3t - 6
Collect like terms
3/2t-4/3t= -6+16
9t-8t/6 =10
t/6=10
Cross product
t=60
Theresa's height=60 inches
P=3/2t -16
=3/2(60) -16
=180/2 -16
=90-16
=74 inches
p=s
Paul's height=74 inches
The answer to the question is x is 12
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x -3)(x + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+ 3x – 18
As you know
- 18 = -3 * 6
3 = -3 + 6
So
x^2+ 3x – 18
= (x -3)(x + 6)
