Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than three times her
age. The sum of their ages IS 43.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maggie's age = x

The brother's age = 3x - 5

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43              Add 5 to both sides

4x - 5 + 5 = 43+5

4x = 48                  Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Maggie = 12

Brother = 3*12 - 5

Brother = 36 - 5

Brother = 31

Y+2= 1/3(x+6)
Solve for y

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we have an equation with two variables (y and x) and I need to solve for y in terms of x. That is, I need to isolate y one one side with all the other terms on the other side.

First, let's distribute the 1/3 on the right side of the equation onto the x and 6 inside the parentheses.

y + 2 = 1/3(x + 6)

y + 2 = 1/3(x) + 1/3(6)

y + 2 = 1/3x + 2

Now, let's isolate y on the left side by removing 2 from both sides.

y + 2 = 1/3x + 2

y + 2 - 2 = 1/3x + 2 - 2

y = 1/3x

So, y is equal to 1/3x. Hopefully that's helpful! :)

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42 and explain your answer

Answers

Answer:  24

Explanation:

The mode corresponds directly to the most frequent leaf, ie the leaf that shows up the most. This is because the mode itself is the most frequent value of a list of numbers. Be sure to keep the rows separate. The leaf "5" shows up twice, but it's for two different stems. The leaf "7" is a similar story.

In row two, we have the leaf "4" show up three times which is the most of any leaf for any given stem. Tie that leaf to the stem 2 and we get the value 24.

The mode is 24.

how do you evaluate?

Answers

We evaluate an algebraic expression by the determination of an unknown variable.

Evaluation is a systematic method used in solving most algebraic expressions in mathematics.

Let assume that we have a given algebraic expression where y is expressed in terms of x and;

y = 2x + 5    where (x = 4)

Here, y and x are the variables;

y = 2(4) + 5

y = 8 + 5

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions that are equivalent when m = 1 and m = 4 is;

Option B: 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

We are given m = 1 and m =4;

A) 5m - 3 and 2m + 5 + m

B) 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

C) 2m + 7 and 3m - 3 + m

D) 5m + 3 and 4m + 2 + 2m

For option B; 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

Let's put m = 1

3(1) + 4 = 7

Also, 1 + 4 + 2(1) = 7

Similarly, let us put 4 for m to get;

3(4) + 4 = 16

Also, 4 + 4 + 2(4) = 16

In both cases, the expressions are equivalent and as such option B is the right one.

(solve using substitution method. MUST SHOW WORK)

Answers

There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be xLet the number of octopi in the tank be y

If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;

x + y = 30 ....................... 1

If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:

5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2

From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:

5(30-y) + 8y = 171

150 - 5y + 8y = 171

3y = 171 - 150

3y = 21

y = 7

Recall that x = 30 - y

x = 30 - 7

x = 23

Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

merry Christmas y'all​

Answers

Answer:

(-7x + 4)(-7x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply two binomials together and you want the result to be the difference of squares, the two binomials must have the same terms and ONE of the terms must have the opposite sign.

Ex: (a+b)(a-b)

OR (x+2)(x-2)

OR (m-3)(m+3)

OR (2x+1)(2x-1)

OR (-5n+7)(-5n-7)

These multiplications

(–7x + 4)(–7x + 4) and

(-7x + 4)(4 - 7x) yield a perfect square trinomial.. Both factors are identical, so they are not the answer.

(–7x + 4)(7x – 4) is also not the answer because one factor is the opposite of the other factor. That is, both terms in one factor are the opposite sign from the other. We need just ONE term to have the opposite sign.

Difference of squares:

(a+b)(a-b)=

a^2 - b^2

A cylindrical, wooden table top has a density of 0.42 g cm 3 and a mass of 0.25 kg.
The table top has a depth of 6 cm.
Find the radius of the table top, rounded to 1 dp.

Answers

The radius of the table top, rounded to 1 dp is 5.6 cm

From the question,

We are to determine the radius of the table top

First, we will determine the volume of the cylindrical wooden table

From the given information

Density = 0.42 g/cm³

Mass = 0.25 kg = 250 g

Using the formula

[tex]Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}[/tex]

∴ [tex]Volume = \frac{250}{0.42}[/tex]

Volume = 595.238 cm³

Now, for the radius of the table top

Using the formula for volume of a cylinder

[tex]V = \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Where V is the volume

r is the radius

and h is the height or depth

From the given information

h = 6cm

Putting the parameters into the formula

[tex]595.238 = \pi r^{2} \times 6[/tex]

∴ [tex]r^{2} = \frac{595.238}{6\pi }[/tex]

[tex]r^{2} =31.57835667[/tex]

[tex]r =\sqrt{31.57835667}[/tex]

r = 5.6 cm

Hence, the radius of the table top, rounded to 1 dp is 5.6 cm

Triangles ABD and CDB are congruent by the SAS postulate instead of the SSS postulate.

Triangles ABD and BCD are congruent by the AAS postulate instead of the SSS postulate.

Angle DBC and angle BDA form a pair of corresponding angles, not a pair of alternate interior angles, which are congruent.

Answers

The statement that best describes a flaw in the students' proof is;

Option D; Angle DBC and angle BDA form a pair of corresponding angles, not a pair of alternate interior angles, which are congruent.

From the given image, we can see that;

AB ≅ DC

Let us analyze each given option;

A) ∠DBC and ∠BDA are in the same triangle ΔBDC. Now, they can't be a pair of vertical angles because vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed when two lines intersect but this is not the case here.

They are also not alternate interior angles because alternate angles are formed when a transverse line intersects two coplanar lines and again that is not the case here.

B) In ΔABD and ΔBDC, we see that;

AB = DC. Also, by theorem of alternate interior angles, we can tell that;

∠ABD = ∠BDC

Similarly, ∠BDA = ∠DBC from alternate interior angles.

Thus, there is one corresponding side and two non-included angles which means the triangles are congruent by AAS Congruency postulate.

C) As seen in B above, this statement is correct because the triangles are congruent by AAS postulate.

D) Corresponding angles lie on the same side of the transversal.  In this case, ∠BDA and ∠DBC lie on opposite sides and are even congruent by alternate interior angles.
