Dorothy is 7 years older than her brother William. If the product of their ages is 78, how old is Dorothy?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
Dorothy = 13 years old

Step by step answer

Dorothy: x+7
William: x

x * (x+7) = 78
x^2 + 7x = 78
x^2 + 7x -78 = 0
What adds to 7, multiply to 78?
-6, 13
y=(x-6)(x+13)

Find the zeros
x-6=0
x=6 ( william is 6 years old)

x+13=0
x=-13 (age can’t be negative)

Dorothy = x+7
6+7 = 13

The equivalent fractions shown on the fraction bar is 3/4 and 6/8.

The multiplier is 2.

The equivalent fractions shown on the fraction bar are 4/6 and 12/18.

The divisor is 3.

What are the equivalent fractions?

A fraction is a non whole number that is made up of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is the number above the line and the denominator or divisor is the number below the line. An example of a fraction is 1/10. 1 is the numerator and 10 is the denominator.

Equivalent fractions are fractions that have different numerators and denominators but when expressed in its simplest form, they are the same fractions. For example, 1/2 and 3/6 are equivalent fractions because when 3/6 is expressed in its simplest form, it is 1/2.

In the first fraction bar given, there are 4 bars and 3 are shaded. Thus, the fraction it represents is 4/6. Likewise in the second fraction bar, 6 are shaded and there are 8 bars.

In the third fraction bar, 12 are shaded and there are a total of 18 bars. The fraction is 12/18. In the fourth fraction bar, 4 are shaded and there are 6 total bars. The fraction is 4/6.

j(x) = 3x² + 2x – 5
Find J(3)

Answers

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

J(x) = 3x^2 + 2x - 5

they have asked us to find J(3), therefore substitute x with 3 throughout the equation.

j(3) = 3*3^2 + 2*3 - 5

J(3) = 3*9 + 6 - 5

J(3) = 27 + 6 - 5
J(3) = 33 - 5 = 28

Which statement describes the graph of y= -x+3 and y=-x+6?
Responses

They intersect at point ( 3 ,6 )
They are parallel
They are perpendicular
They intersect at point (6,3).

Answers

Considering the definition of parallel line, the statement "They are parallel" describes the graph of y= -x+3 and y=-x+6.

Linear equation

A linear equation o line can be expressed in the form y = mx + b

where:

x and y are coordinates of a point.m is the slope.b is the ordinate to the origin and represents the coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y axis.

Parallel line

Parallel lines are two lines that are always at the same distance from each other and that prolonged towards infinity never touch.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope or value of m and different y-intercepts or value of b.

This case

In this case, you know:

y= -x+3 has a slope of -1 and an ordinate to the origin of 3.y=-x+6 has a slope of -1 and an ordinate to the origin of 6.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. Then, both lines are parallel.

The measure of the triangle for the value of x is x = 11.

What is defined as the triangle?

A triangle is a 2-dimensional closed shape with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. A triangle is a type of polygon.

The sum of a triangle's three interior angles is always 180°.The sum of any two triangle sides is always larger than the length of a third side.A triangle's area is equal to half the product of the its base and height.

For the given value of triangle;

The three angles are given as;

3x + 84x + 1184

By the sum of all angles of triangle property.

The sum of all three angles of the triangle is 180°

Thus,

3x + 8 + 4x + 11 + 84 = 180

Simplifying;

7x = 180 - 103

7x = 77

x = 11

Thus, the solution of x of the given triangle is found as x = 11.

Three vertices of a parallelogram are shown in the figure below.
Give the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Answers

Answer:

(-5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the fact that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

Let me classify the points as

A (-4, 7)

B (2, -5)

C (3, 5)

Let us assume the 4th vertex is D(x, y) where x and y have to be determined

We will assume that AB is the diagonal of the parallelogram ABCD

The midpoint of a line segment from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) is given by
(1/2)(x1 + x2, y1 + y2) ie the average of their x and coordinates

If we let O be the midpoint of AB, coordinates of O are
1/2 x (-4 + 2, 7 -5) = 1/2 x ( -2, 2) = (-1, 1)

We know the other diagonal CD must pass through point O and O is also the midpoint of CD

Therefore if coordinates of D are (x, y)

then  x-coordinate of O which is -1 should be the average of x coordinate of C and x coordinate of D
==>  - 1 = (3 + x)/2

=> -2 = 3 + x

=>  -2 - 3 = x

=> -5 = x

=> x = -5

Similarly
1 = (5 + y)/2

=> 2 = 5 + y

=> 2 - 5 = y

=> -3 = y

y = -3

So the coordinate of the fourth vertex D are (-3, -5)

The values of interior angle is 63°,  46°,  71°

What are Interior Angles?

Angles inside a polygon are referred to as interior angles. A triangle, for instance, has three interior angles. Interior angles are sometimes defined as "angles enclosed in the interior region of two parallel lines when they are intersected by a transversal."

Put all the values equal to 180°,

=> (2x+5) + (x+17) + (3x-16) = 180°

Now, solve this equation and find x,

=> 6x + 22 - 16 = 180

=> 6x = 180 - 6

=> x = 174 / 6

=> x = 29°

Put x = 29° in the 2x + 5, x + 17, 3x - 16

2x + 15                |   x + 17          |   3x - 16      

2 * 29 + 15          |  29 + 17        |   3 * 29 - 16

63°                      |   46°             |   71°

Define equivalent ratios.

When we compare two ratios, they are said to be equivalent. To determine whether two or more ratios are equivalent, they can be compared to one another. For instance, the ratios 1:2 and 2:4 are equivalent. If two or more ratios have the same value when reduced to their most basic form, they are said to be equal. For instance, the ratios 1:2, 2:4, and 4:8 are identical. When reduced to their most basic form, all three ratios have the same value, or 1:2. We can multiply or divide the words by a natural number to get analogous ratios to a given ratio.
