Y^2 - 9w^2
= y^2 - 3^2w^2
=(y + 3w)(y - 3w)
Answer:
x = 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC is a right angled triangle.
Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem:
Answer:
36 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = Elga's age
Alvin's age = x + 7
Sum of their ages = 79
Sum of their ages = Alvin's age + Elga's age
79 = (x + 7) + x
79 = x + 7 + x
79 = 2x + 7
79 - 7 = 2x
72 = 2x
x = 72/2
x = 36
Elga's age = x = 36 years
Alvin's age = x + 7
= 36 + 7
= 43 years
Step-by-step explanation:
can you please add details to your question
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
