Aroha is 3 years older than her brother. The sum of Aroha's age and her brother's age is 31. Write and solve and equation to find their ages

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, Aroha is 17 yrs old and her brother is 14 yrs old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent Aroha's brother's Agee with the letter "b" yrs old.

If Aroha is 3yrs older than her brother, she's : (b+3) yrs old.

The sum of their ages is 31,

b+(b+3)=31

2b+3=31

Collect like terms,

2b=31-3

2b=28

Divide both sides by 2,

b=14

b+3=17

Two consecutive numbers exist such that the sum of three times the first number and two less than the second number is equal to 144. What are third numbers

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

two consecutive numbers means that one is larger by 1 than the other number.

so, we have to choices depending on whether the first number (multiplied by 3) is the larger one, or the second number.

to show what I mean, let's start with the second number being the larger one.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+1).

3x + (x+1) - 2 = 144

4x - 1 = 144

4x = 145

x = 145/4

this is not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution.

therefore we are checking the other approach :

we are dealing therefore still with x and (x+1). but now we multiply the other number by 3.

3(x+1) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 1 = 144

4x = 143

x = 143/4

this is still not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution either.

and now I am beginning to think you left out some important information in the question.

could it be these 2 numbers are consecutive even or consecutive uneven numbers ?

because then the difference between the both of them is 2 and not 1.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+2). first attempt to make the smaller number the "first" number :

3x + (x+2) - 2 = 144

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

ah ! now that looks different !

36 and 38 are valid solutions under the changed assumptions. and we are dealing with consecutive even numbers.

let's check :

36×3 + 38 - 2 = 36×3 + 36 = 36×4 = 144

correct.

and fun fact, if we turn this around and make the larger number the "first" number, we are still dealing with x and (x+2), but now we multiply the larger number by 3 :

3(x+2) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 6 - 2 = 144

4x + 4 = 144

4x = 140

x = 140/4 = 35

35 and 37 are also valid solutions under the new assumptions and two consecutive uneven numbers ...

so, please check what your original question (and maybe the headlines and description around it) says. and then pick the right solution.

D. (1, 7), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1)

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we can define a function as a "relation and the set of ordered pairs that doesn't contain 2 pairs with matching components"

In A above, (3,-2), (2,-1), (3,4), (4,7)

There is a repeat of 3 in both (3, -2) and (3,4) so this can't be considered a function.

B. (0, 4), (1, 2), (1, 0), (2, 3)

There is a repeat of 1 in both (1, 2) and (1, 0), so this is not a function.

C. (2, 5), (3, 8), (4, 11), (4, 12)

4 is repeated in (4, 11) and (4, 12) so this cancel out its probability of it being a function.

D. (1, 7), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1)

D. (1, 7), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1)There is no repeat of components, so this is considered a function.

Find the values of x and y, and z

Answers

Answer:

z = 15

y = 8

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the angles added together equal 180.

4z + 4z + 4z = 180

z = 15

3y - 1 = 23 ( all sides equal each other because all angles equal each other )

y = 8

2x + 9 = 23 ( similar to how I found y )

x = 7

y=-6/5x +4
y-= -1/5x -1

Answers

Answer: (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the equations are:

Y=-(6/5)x +4

y = -(1/5)x -1  [Note that I changed "y-" to just "y."]

We can solve this in one of two ways:  Mathematically and Graphically.

Math:  

y = -(1/5)x -1

6y = -(6/5)x -6

-(Y=-(6/5)x +4)

5y = -10

y = -2

y = -(1/5)x -1

-2 = -(1/5)x -1

-1 = -(1/5)x

5 = x

x = 5

The solution is (5,-2)

See the attached graph.  The lines intersect at (5,-2)

Read the following stories.Hansel and GretelHansel and Gretel's mother had passed away a year ago, and their father had remarried a wicked woman. There was something evil about their stepmother, and the kids knew she wanted their father all to herself. She hated Hansel and Gretel and was always very cruel to them. One day, Hansel and Gretel's evil stepmother had them doing chores around the house. She refused to feed them, and they grew very hungry. Hansel stole a piece of bread from the kitchen when their stepmother wasn't looking. When he returned with it, Gretel suggested that they run away through the woods to eat it. Hansel didn't want to get lost in the woods, so he decided to mark their trail with small black and white stones that he had stolen from his father's box of checkers. As they ran deeper into the woods, Hansel dropped checkers here and there to mark the way home.Suddenly, they came upon a house that was entirely made of candy. Having only eaten a tiny bit of bread, Hansel and Gretel were starving. They began picking off gumdrops and stuffing their faces with the candy from the outside of the house. Then, a lovely, old lady emerged from the house. She invited them in and offered them even more candy and cake. At first, Hansel and Gretel were ecstatic for the treats, but they soon became uncomfortable around the woman. She explained that she had never had children of her own, so she built a house of candy hoping one day some children would come along so she could keep them. She was very lonely. Hansel and Gretel did not want to be kept like pets, and they wanted to go home to their father. They rushed out of the house and ran as fast as they could. They followed their checkers home until they ran into the loving embrace of their father, who had been up worrying about them. He cursed his wife for being so cruel to his children, and Hansel and Gretel promised that they would never run away again.Johnnie and GrizzleJohnnie and Grizzle were the children of a very poor woodcutter and his wife. Their father warned their mother that he feared they would soon have to get rid of the children. Otherwise, he thought they would all starve. Their mother begged and pleaded with their father. She couldn't bear to lose her children, but their father could see no other way for them to survive. They were too poor to buy food for everyone. He planned to lead the children out into the woods in the hopes that they might find food and learn to survive on their own. Johnnie and Grizzle heard about their father's plan. They collected all of their trinkets and toys to sell them to help earn money. They packed up a large bag, but their father interrupted their packing. He said that they were going to go out on a family walk through the woods.Johnnie was scared that their father would abandon them out in the woods. However, Grizzle assured Johnnie that she had a plan. As they walked, she dropped trinkets and little toys along the way to mark a path. Eventually, their father left them and ran back through the woods towards their house. They were alone and figured that they should let their father get a head start. They didn't want to get caught following him back home. As they waited, they looked around them. That's when Johnnie spotted something remarkable. He found a house entirely made of gingerbread and candy. Still starving, Johnnie and Grizzle began to chomp away at the candy decorations. They even chewed their way through the gingerbread walls. They had never seen such delicacies in all their life! Suddenly, a cruel-looking old woman came rushing out of the candy house. She was furious that the children had begun to eat her home. She threatened the children as she cursed at them. Johnnie and Grizzle ran terrified back through the woods, following their trail of trinkets home. Their mother greeted them with open arms. Their father cried and begged for his children's forgiveness. He promised that he would be a better father and find a way to take care of them so that they should never have to leave the home or fear going hungry.What pattern of events do both stories have in common?
