Step-by-step explanation:

a = age of Alex

l = age of Lucy

m = age of Megan

a + l + m = 126

l = 3a

l = m + 7

=>

a = l/3

m = l - 7

we are using that in the first equation :

l/3 + l + l - 7 = 126

l + 3l + 3l - 21 = 378

7l = 357

l = 357/7 = 51

a = l/3 = 51/3 = 17

m = l - 7 = 51 - 7 = 44

the ratio of the age of Lucy to Alex to Megan is

51 : 17 : 44

HELP PLEASE THANKS (;

You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)

Help please, tank u :)

Answer:

16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x ft

Therefore, length = (x + 2) ft

Area of the rectangle = 15 square ft

x(x + 2) = 15 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 2x = 15 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 2x - 15 = 0 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0 \\  \\ x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0 \\  \\ (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 \\  \\ x + 5 = 0 \: or \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\  \\ x =  - 5  \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3 \\  \\  \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \:  - ve \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 3 \\   \\  \implies \: x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 \\  \\ perimeter \: of \: rectngle  \\ = 2(5 + 3)  \\  = 2 \times 5 \\  = 16 \: ft

How do you estimate 175.32 ÷ 3 =
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

  ≈ 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.

Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.

You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

_____

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
