Answer:

<h2><u>Let h represent Hunter's Age</u></h2><h2><u>Let a represent Andrew's Age.</u></h2>

<u></u>

So that means that

<em>h=35+a+5</em>

because he already is 35

we add Andrew's Age

And we add 5 for 5 extra years

Therefore,

<h2>35 + 5 + a = 2(a + 5)</h2>

<em>35+5=40.</em>

<em>40+a = 2a+10</em>

<u><em>Substract the a</em></u>

<em>40 = a+10</em>

<u><em>Subtract 10 </em></u>

<em>30 = a</em>

If Andrew's age is 30, going back to our first equation,

<h2>h = 35 + 30 (previously a) + 5</h2>

Hunter's Age = 65

Andrew's Age = 30

Hope it helped!

Answer:

Andrew is 30 years old. Hunter is 65 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

we can set up 2 equations:

h = 35 + a

h+5 = 2(a+5)

Solve for h in the second equation.

h + 5 = 2a + 10; h = 2a + 5

now set the 2 equations = to each other

2a + 5 = 35 + a

solve for a by combining like terms

a + 5 = 35

a = 30

so Andrew is 30 and Hunter is 35 + 30 = 65.

Sp in 5 years Andrew is 35 and Hunter is 70 (twice A's age)

Find all missing angles <br> y+30+2y=180
kirill [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y+30+2y=180

Add like terms

3y+30=180

Subtract 30 on both sides

3y=150

Divide by 3 on both sides

y=50

Now all you have to do i calculate the angles.

Use finite differences to identify the degree of the polynomial that best describes the data. 9 10 11 12 13 14
worty [1.4K]

The forward differences for this data is 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (since 10 - 9 = 1, 11 - 10 = 1, etc). Since we only need one iteration of differences, a linear polynomial will fit the data exactly.

Consider the two expressions 4b(b+1) and (2b+7)(2b-8). Compare their values if b=-3, b=-2, and if b=10. Is it true that for an v
noname [10]

Answer:

If b=-3 then the first expression is equal to 24 and the second expression is equal to -14.

If b=-2 then the first expression is equal to 8 and the second expression is equal to -36.

If b=10 then the first expression is equal to 440 and the second expression is equal to 324.

Yes, it is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

b=-3:

4b(b+1)=4(-3)(-3+1)=-12(-2)=24

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(-3)+7)(2(-3)-8)=(-6+7)(-6-8)=1(-14)=-14

b=-2:

4b(b+1)=4(-2)(-2+1)=-8(-1)=8

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(-2)+7)(2(-2)-8)=(-4+7)(-4-8)=3(-12)=-36

b=10:

4b(b+1)=4(10)(10+1)=40(11)=440

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(10)+7)(2(10)-8)=(20+7)(20-8)=27(12)=324

Which equations are equivalent to the expression below ? Check all that apply
taurus [48]

It looks like selections A and C are identical. (Neither is equivalent to 9^x.)

If B is supposed to be 3^(2x), it is equivalent to F and D and to the given expression.

Of course, D evaluates to 9^x, so is equivalent.

Choice E evaluates to 3^(x+2), which is not equivalent to 3^(2x).

The applicable choices appear to be

... B. 3^(2x)

... D. (3*3)^x

... F. (3^x)*(3^x)
